Ooooo, Crafty

Clever Kari Chapin has written a very clever book. And it’s not just me that thinks so – with a 5 star ranking on Amazon (is true), the reviews from around the globe are glowy and gushy and all from the mouths of creative, crafty tinkers whose products have flown off their virtual shelves since they came across her wonder words of wisdom.
‘The Handmade Marketplace’ is bursting with knowledge and experience of the charming, inspiring, (and sometimes rather tricky) world of the artycrafts trade. Whether you sell tea cosies, cushions, handmade cards or clothing, this bible guides you through every stage of your business, from the magic bean of your idea through to selling at fairs, packing a punch online, clever marketing ideas right through to generating jaw dropping, joy jumping, high fiving sales.
Kari’s book is packed with top tips, snazzy guides, sanity checks and calming words of wisdom. If your website or blog is driving you bananas, (or you have no idea where to start) or you just need some business management ideas and inspiration, Kari Chapin has come well and truly to the rescue. Ta da.
Her book will not leave your side. You will sleep with it under your pillow and if anyone attempts to nab it, you may be forced to pelt them with Hula Hoops. Or worse. Gasp.
