We had good feedback from the first of our "Meet the Maker" interviews, so very happy about that!!
We will be aiming to have one interview each week........so stay tuned!
Writing a blog takes some thought and preparation........and so, I found this quote whilst pottering around online last night and thought it was appropriate and pretty cool:
"Never give up on a dream just because of the length of time it will take to accomplish. The time will pass anyway.”
H. Jackson Brown
Handmade items take longer to make than production-line and sweat-shop products, that is what makes them special. You will not find these things in large department stores or supermarkets, thank goodness! Plus handmade is hugely popular at the moment, which is a great thing! It is sold at markets, online, in specialty stores and some boutiques......to name a few. Two of the biggest online marketplaces for handmade are Madeit and Etsy. Madeit is our own Australian online handmade marketplace and Etsy is the American equivalent. Madeit features only Australian makers and is a lot easier to navigate than Etsy, which tends to have so many items, it is easy to get lost for hours!! The Mornington Peninsula is home to quite a few Madeit sellers and I am endeavouring to compile a list of them and publish it the near future. If you have a Madeit store and live on the Peninsula, please contact us.
Have a great day!
Cheers,
MPH xx
