Comment by Sharon Mackenzie on April 9, 2012 at 22:26: I sell my handmade goodies at Vintage & Handmade Fairs usually, and find these are a lot better than just craft events at the moment.

Comment by Paula Newman on February 8, 2012 at 0:31: Hi everyone. I'm a committed Etsy and Folksy shop gal, but i do blog on occasions, and i've wondered about making it more of a shop, does anyone have any good tips for creating a blogshop from a blog, and does it work as a stand alone, or is it better being attached to another form of store, as i do now?

Any words of encouragement would be appreciated.

My blog is http://kittykanzashi.blogspot.com/ and I have been blogging for quite a while but only recently started to us it as a means of brining in sales. However I would love to big on this so any ideas are welcome!

Comment by Lucy Portsmouth on May 17, 2011 at 13:20: Hello :)

Just joined ... I hope that's OK? I've had a blog for a while (magpies-laundry.co.uk) and have recently added a shop onto it, so I'm hoping that this group will give me a few pointers to get it up and running ...

Look forward to 'meeting' you all :)

Comment by pauline lynch on March 13, 2011 at 12:20: my blog page address has now changed to www.stitchesfromwales.com if any of you would like to have a look, I am getting there slowly and like you Erika would like to make it more into a shop. I just keep putting the etsy and folksy addys on there everytime I post.

Comment by Creative Wishes on March 13, 2011 at 11:53: Amanda Price welcome to the group.

Comment by Creative Wishes on February 23, 2011 at 23:50: Hi Erika, welcome to the group. I have had a look at your blog and really like the layout of it.

I have aimed to have my blogshop to look somewhat website-ish and so I have created page catergories as per my product items. Please feel free to have a look around for ideas.

I am more than happy to answer any questions you might have, goodluck.

Comment by Erika Price on February 21, 2011 at 14:29: Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me joining? I've had a blog for ages and am just turning my mind to setting up a shop on there - would be grateful for any tips you might have!
