Creative block ends in list of places to sell online.

There comes a time in an artist life when no matter what you do nothing creative happens. Yes the dreaded creative block. I get them and it seems like sometimes I will never get out of them. With running an online business it is easy to get pulled into the computer side of business and forget if you don't create you will not have anything to list online. So when I get in a creative standstill I still want t do something to feel worthy of being at home, so I compiled a list of place you can sell online.

So here is the list with a little info on each of them. I have not personally tried each one of them but I did visit each site for the sign up info and cost. A lot of sites come and go and there are new ones each day popping up so I will do what I can to keep this update. So here you go!

"Look after each other so that not one of you will fail to find God's best blessings. Watch out that no bitterness takes root among you, for as it springs up it causes deep trouble, hurting many in their spiritual lives." Hebrews 12:15

Little princess picks.

Spring is almost here, well not really but it is closer now that the new year is here. I thought it was time then to start looking at what is the trending little girls wear for spring and summer. What I found was some green and yellow stripes, some gray and tan. Am I seeing things right? These major labels want me to dress my princess of fashion in boring tennis clothes and frumpy hobo layers? Being a kid is supposed to be fun, so I decided the only way to find out what a princess wants to wear is to ask her. So here goes the "fab greatest relaxful" styles for spring for your little princesses from my little princess, Mari.

We had to start somewhere and it had to offer tons of variety, because a almost 6 year old gets bored pretty quick. So we start our search on Artfire. If you don't know about Artfire let me tell you, it is a marketplace with independent artist, designers, vintage section and it now also has a commercial section. But I am all about supporting other small businesses especially ones right here in the USA, so today we are looking in the Handmade section of Artfire.

Artfire has a feature called "checking in" it is basically when a shop remembers to turn the sign from closed to open. Sometimes sellers just forget to hit the little button in their shop and it shows to us the customers that they have not "checked in" in quite some time. If I have the time I send the seller a little note asking if they are open and tending to their store and if I don't have time I just move on to another store owner that has checked in with in the last 2 weeks.

Next we surfed on over to Etsy.

Etsy is pretty awesome you can get anything there for anyone and the search is pretty easy. It took no time at all for my little princess to find things she wanted, "that, that, that, that, that'. The only thing I don't really like is not knowing if the shop is attended to or not. If they are a busy shop and get lots of sales that helps a lot but there are a lot of new artist out there just waiting for their first sale, sometime you just have to bite the bullet and buy, buy, buy. Remember you are under Paypal protection when you order. Make sure to educate yourself with Paypal, if you have not received your item within a 45 day you can file a dispute, but after that 45 days Paypal no longer protects you, but if you paid with a credit card it still might.

Make sure to protect yourself when shopping online. Whether you are buying from a marketplace like, Etsy, Artfire, CraftisArt or any of the others out there or buying from a facebook fanpage or even from someones .com. Look for things like policies, how they ship, returns, custom orders and how they present their business. Not everyone is perfect from the start but you can surely tell the difference from someone who is trying to constantly improve and someone who doesn't give a darn. Buying from handmade artist is great because you get new things, one of a kind things and the work that goes into it is quality and will stand the test of time.

Till we meet again, keep crafty and shop handmade!
