The latest Folksy Seller article is now on IndieSmiles - Folksy Favs ! It's titled "Look At Me" and discusses ways to promote your shop online and off. Folksy sellers haptree , Wharfedale Woolworks , DinkyDaisy  and CakesKnitsandCosies  shared how they promote their shops "in the real world" and it's interesting to find out the different ways they do it. There's also a slideshow of their creations to look at. So a big thank you to Anne, Kirsty, Debbie and Lynne and also to Folksy seller Helen of Glamorous Glue  for letting me use the photo of her red and white mushroom earrings! If you would like to leave a comment about the article (tiny link at the bottom under the slideshow, you might need your magnifying glass to find it!) I would be very grateful :D Here's a taster of the slideshow....

Sweet Inspiration is my latest article on IndieSmiles  and features four Folksy jewellery designers ~ Lorraine of FairlyGirly , Jean of Talking Beads , Amanda of Chicita  and Becky of Red Bird Jewellery . In it they discuss how they started making their own jewellery and what inspires their designs. It's well worth reading! A big thank you to the above sellers for taking time to answer my questions and to Folksy seller  Arts & Candies  for the fab Iced Donut Bracelet photo also used in the article :D I've also been given my own category ~ Folksy Favs, which is pretty cool as I have a lot of Folksy sellers wanting to be featured in future articles. Guess who's going to be pretty busy for a while............ Here is some of the lovely jewellery featured in the article Red Cascades Heart Bookmark ~ FairlyGirly   Sea Ring ~ Chicita Autumn Days Pendant ~ Red Bird Jewellery Pearl Slices Necklace ~ Talking Beads

My first Folksy article is now up on IndieSmiles ! It's titled "What's Folksy?" and is an introduction to the idea behind Folksy and the wealth of talented designers and crafters to be found there. I chose photos from several Folksy sellers to be featured in the first article to give an idea of the talent and originality of UK designers and crafters. I will be featuring more sellers in later articles! Here are the photos I used ~ A beautiful pair of Copper Ivy Leaf Earrings from Ali Bali Jewellery A bright and original Skull & Crossbones cushion design by BLONDEDESIGN  A gorgeous set of Textured Bowls by Philippa Lewis Ceramics  Delicious~looking Rose Patchouli Soap by Saffonbarr  and a cute and very appropriate sign from  AnnieFloribunda The idea behind the articles (more to come!) is to spread the word about Folksy to a wider, mainly American audience, letting people know w...

Serena Cowdy, owner of Folksy shop  The Copper Swallow , came up with a suggestion a couple of weeks ago on the Folksy Forum ~ Why not have a series of interviews about Folksy sellers to feature on our blogs? I thought it was a brilliant idea! What better way to find out a bit more about the person behind the shop: what motivates them to create and why they chose their particular field ............. to which side of the fence they're on when it comes to Marmite!! My first interview is with Serena, the brains behind The Copper Swallow! Based in London, Serena is never happier than when she's pottering around with her camera ............... When did you start selling on Folksy? I only set up shop on Folksy at the beginning of November, but I did quite a bit of research (and lurked around the Folksy forums a lot!) before that. The name of your Folksy shop is quite unusual ~ how did you come up with it? Wildlife is one of my ...
