Every day I'm surprised to find people who are uncomfortable buying products from an individual. They would rather buy from a big box store like Target, Wal-mart or Pottery Barn.
To try to combat this attitude, I have a site called Try Handmade where I feature products which by the sheer fact of their wonderfulness and beauty will convince people to make their first purchase from a independent seller.
If you'd like to be featured, please let me know. I look forward to seeing what you sell!
Hi folks -- Due to the large number of really great submissions I'm no longer able to reply to each of you individually. Pathetic, I know, but rest assured that I check out each and every site mentioned in this thread. Thanks everyone!
Hi Erika - I really believe in what you are trying to do and would be honored to be featured on your site. Please let me know what you would need from me if you are interested. Currently I have two Etsy shoppes:
Erika, I design and make one of a kind teddy bears. For the adult collector, they have glass eyes etc. Do you think they would be o.k for your site? my etsy shop is http//odddotty.etsy.com
Thanks, Dorothy
