Christmas Cards

[unforth]

Hey all, I mentioned in a previous post a plug for my custom Christmas cards. I hope ya'll will forgive me for posting one more - I wrote a long post, with examples, over on my craft blog - if you're planning on writing cards and are in the market for some lovely and special ones, take a peak: Curiously Crafted Creations. :)

That's a good thought! While I don't have co-ops, I might be able to find something similar. I had already been considering marketing the patterns and dolls through local yarn stores, I just haven't gotten around to doing the necessary work yet. I need about a week where I'm not super busy with the day job. For the cards, maybe I should outreach to Bloomingfoods!

I feel like the key with the cards is getting a following, even more so than with the patterns and such. I mean, if someone wants a goose pattern, there just aren't many options, so they're likely to go with mine. On the other hand, there are lots of excellent photographers and lovely cards on the internet, and while mine are competitively priced, that's not necessarily good enough. But I've got one person, fireun, who whenever she wants to get new cards, she thinks of me. For the cards to really succeed, I think I just need a lot more people to think that way, and I suspect the way to get that following is in person at craft fairs. I'm hoping to get going to craft fairs starting sometime in the spring, though I'll have to see how things go... :)
