If you want to have your handmade products in a beautifully laid out store with happy, friendly & informed handmade loving staff, where you lease a shelf & receive 100% of your sales in the Shop, join in the amazing Shop Handmade - the retail Shop spin off the amazing super popular quarterly Handmade Market which has an incredible reputation & following. Email Julie & Rachel at Shop Handmade for details NOW. Prices are as low as $25 per week, incredible, the foot traffic is brilliant, but Shop Handmade will soon become a destination shopping experience. Don't delay & miss out, it's an awesome opportunity. Love Posie
EDIT: i should further add, interstate handmade designers are welcome at Shop Handmade, you don't have to be a Handmade Market stall designer to apply. It's a neat way for you to tap into the faithful following the Handmade Market has, without living or doing the market here in Canberra.
Spaces include rack/ wall/ table top/ shelves/ cubes/ floor & Shop window options!! Ask for the Designers' Policy, it's so clear, comprehensive & fabulously well written, gosh, what super clever person wrote that i wonder??
Whoo Hoo getting closer!!
