Opportunities for you to sell your work.

• Cottage Works www.lizbucar.com/ To offer handmade & artisan goods in a secure online consignment shop * To celebrate the old rural arts, our Delaware River Basin and those who keep them * To offer handcrafted goods at a Fair Trade price Handmade requires more from all of us. Some pieces crafted by CottageWorkers (like afghans) can take a month or more to plan, fabricate and construct. Please leave yourself plenty of time to order in case an item's stock runs low. And, if you doubt the wisdom in all this, get fortified by visiting our Second Hand Shop Classified Ads, Swaps, Barters & Freebies, submission page and by signing the Buy Handmade Pledge Stand by your local producers. Protect the land & water that sustain them. Posted at 7:16pm on Mon, Sep 14 2009
