I just wanted to take a minute and update everyone about my “side project” that has quickly turned into something much larger—>

At the end of last year, with my favorite local artisan shop closing it’s doors, I realized there was a need out there to help artists and crafters sell their items.  I was in the process of creating this website and through the months of research, I thought I knew the ins and outs a pretty good bit to throw my two cents in and try to assist.  I then came up with the idea of, instead of attempting to run a storefront (with overhead costs grueling), why not sell these items online in an artisan marketplace? I tried for months to figure out how I was going to go about doing this and what the most cost-effective way to go about this would be.  I even thought about attempting to create and design the website myself, but soon realized, though I was able to manage putting this website together (which to a professional is pretty standard, but to me, was pretty technical)…I could not take on a project such as this.  So, I began researching yet again and finally got in touch with a website design company that was super friendly and affordable…offering design, management, SEO enhancement, logo design, E-commerce…the works! Of course, I jumped on the idea and got the ball rolling.

This was two weeks ago. Today, two short weeks later, while we are still waiting for the framework of the website to be completed, we have a logo, have been featured on WPDE News Channel 15 (Peedee/Grand Strand) last week, being featured this Friday at 10 am on Channel 7/Your Carolina with Jack and Kimberly (Upstate/Greenville), currently getting a video designed by WISTV and have a wide variety of great artists and crafters who have already signed up…things are moving FAST!

So, with that said, I wanted to apologize for not posting as much on here lately and hope you all can forgive me. Please note, that I am not going anywhere (haha).  Actually, last night, my shop was listed as a confirmed vendor for the CSRA Baby Expo in Augusta, Ga and I am sooooo excited about this amazing opportunity! We also have several other craft shows/artisan markets that we are signed up for this year so be sure to come by and see our booths!! “Like” us on Facebook to stay updated with where we will be and when and thank you all for being such awesome fans!!
