I have a new motto – build a site to showcase handcrafted items…….and Jewels by Jan will come.  It seems that every day I hear about yet another web site where makers of handmade items can showcase their products.  Artfire is my latest “find” and because they make it SO easy to list items and set up a shop, they now carry our barefoot sandals.

As the holiday season creeps closer and closer, sites like  Artfire are fabulous venues for doing some early shopping.  If nothing else, it will offer a world of ideas.  Have you considered maybe a scarf for your mother, sister or best friend?   Scarves are one of this Fall’s hottest fashion trends and with cooler weather arriving in most parts of the U.S., it makes a perfect accessory for just about anyone.

What about a handcrafted laptop case for your busy executive sister.  Prices are very reasonable and quality is top notch! Think about the attention to detail that a handmade product has.

With over 500,000+ products (and counting) Artfire offers a world of shopping opportunities.  And in addition to getting part of your gift list taken care of, you’ll be helping all the small businesses that have become a part of Artfire.
