I so agree with this as well so it's a Please Guys! from me too.
I agree that there should be a hand crafted section. Hand made sounds 'mumsy', old fashioned and not very professional imho. Artisan in the jewellery section is a lovely word, but I wonder how many people browsing would know it meant 'skilled', mainly as in hand crafted? There are far fewer items come up if you type 'hand crafted' into the search engine, than 'hand made', and personally when I am looking for a special item I do not tend to look for hand made.
BTW... my shops are inactive right now.....
Dont forget to ask for a Handmade pinterest board
[QUOTE=jeweleffects;1531072]Great idea as I have many handcrafted items myself, perhaps something like:
Handcrafted Items
handcrafted items: greetings cards
handcrafted items: knitted goods
handcrafted items: crochet goods
handcrafted items: jewelry
I agree with all of the suggestions in this thread but maybe we should make the request more specific. Jewels started it but there are more cats we should list.
Handcrafted>needlework
Handcrafted>embroidery
Handcrafted>quilting
Handcrafted>woodworking
Handcrafted>home decor
Handcrafted>pillows

Please have a look. I combine postage wherever possible.
I have some hand-made cards that I'm listing under 2 categories, as the 'Crafts' category on its own seems inadequate. I've also got them under 'Occasions' - Birthday Cards, which is the most logical place to look if you want to buy a card. It's only an extra 5p to list under another heading, but I've got loads of cards to add to my store, so those 5ps will add up. I also have other hand-made items to list soon, so a 'hand-made' category would be good.
Welcome, lakeleilani. I wouldn't advise spending even those 5ps! Promote your shops (I see you have already opened two) rather than individual listings.
