Our first Blog!

Hello and welcome to Our Local Crafts. We are a new UK based networking and advertising community with the hopes of bringing all you wonderful home businesses and crafters together and getting you the recognition and sales you deserve. Our website will be up and running in the next week or so (having a hard time picking a design theme!) and there you will be able to find information, advertise and get to know when and where local markets and fairs are local to you. There will also be advertising space available in the near future.


We will also be organising craft and market fairs ourselves in the near future in a bid to help people in there own regions find and sell products local to them, the internet is a powerful sales tool but there is nothing like buying in person!


We have set up our facebook page, where you can join up and get online networked. This is where we will be doing our general and region specific shout-out-athon's and where we will begin our show and tell product advertising. You can find our facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/OurLocalCrafts/201942053159427.


Our blog is also where you will be able to advertise and be able to see our fairs and market  information in more detail. So check back often and see what we are up to.
