I work in a co-op where handcrafted items are sold.  We try to stick to heritage or traditional appalachian crafts, but are branching out some to draw in buyers looking for low priced to high priced items.  I would appreicate any feed back as to suggestions of items our ladies could make to put into the shop.  Sometimes it helps to get some fresh ideas from those that aren't in our day to operations...

I'm looking for, "Have you thought about making ______?  It sells well in my area."  We currently have handcrafted items from jams and jellies, jewerly, dolls, seasonal decorations, pottery, fabric items... 

Thanks for any new ideas.

Pat

If it is a Heritage shop you may want to try pinkeeps ( pincushions) and prairie bonnets, stitcheries with old fashioned sayings.

I have a booth at a local flea market. 

 

Primitive benches, signs, birdhouses are gone the same day they come in.
