                      A while back Marie (churunga) and I initiated an exchange. I had some crochet books for barter and I traded her the books for a couple crocheted clothespin dolls like those in one of the books.  A week or so ago I received the super cute dolls from Marie - and I LOVE them!!!
  Below is a picture of the cutest dolls she made. She also included 2 additional dresses, a cute origami star, tea, a dishcloth pattern, and a lovely note.
   
  Thank you so much, Marie!

                      Everyone is so kind.  Thank you.  I am humbled by the gratitude.
  I have started a business I call Heritage Handmade Crafts.  The business makes and sells handmade items using craft techniques which are universal and recognized.  Some of the techniques may be in danger of being lost.  I strive to use as much repurposed, recycled materials as possible.  And ........... I don't know what I am doing.  Production time is so limited and I have so many ideas.
  I am asking for help.  I currently sell some small amount of my stuff at The Art Shoppe (theartshoppemgm.com) here in Minneapolis.  I do not know how to get a shop onto Etsy or if I even want to or how to use Instagram to get pictures out there.  I don't need to make a ton of money.  I just want to fulfill my obligations.  I want to make items that are one of a kind and have the input of the customer regarding color choices, etc.  I also need ideas for display and packaging.  
  I will subscribe to this thread and consider your counsel.  Also PM me with ideas and encouragement.
