I love it when life throws something random your way and yesterday I had some very unexpected contact with someone new.
To cut a long story short, I was contacted by someone yesterday who wanted to let me know that there was a business on Facebook (The Supermums Craft Fair) using one of my e card images as a logo (the Supermum birthday e card).
I was quite shocked that someone was using it, but the most interesting part of this story is that when I looked into it, and contated Sarah (the lady who looks after the page) I found that she is doing something brilliant!
The Supermums Craft Fair is a place where craft makers can sell their goods on facebook in a 'virtual fair'. She makes her own crafts which you can have a look at here and as a craft maker, she has found it hard to make a living out of her produce and decided to set this page up to get other crafters together and help them to sell what they make!
I think this is a brilliant idea and is a great way of encouraging more people to be more proactive and more involved with crafts.
I am so happy to have met (online) this clever lady who has this brilliant and innovative idea and encourage all of you to have a look at her page as there are some beautiful handmade knick-knacks on there to buy and if you make crafts yourself, its also definitely worth a go selling them through the page also!
It was such an unexpected but very lovely encounter. I love it when things like this happen (though that is not permission to use any of my images without asking me first - this was a very special case!).
