Support Local Artists


Yes, I own and operate my own small business. It's called Creating with Kara Davies.

Yes, I have goods to sell.
Pop over and snag a lovely handmade card or card set or gift tag set or a bespoke necklace. I do this because I love it, I also do it to make money, make new friends, and assist others with unleashing their creativity. I have expenses and bills to pay just like everyone else.

Yes, I support other small business owners.  We all try to eke out a living for our families.

Do us a favor, support local artisans and purchase their wares this Christmas shopping season. Don't pass by a marketstall or booth. Make it a point to stop, look through the items on offer, and make a purchase. 

Your purchase may just mean the difference between the artisan being able to pay their mortgage that month or not. It may mean that they can afford to pay off all their utilities bills and start the next month with a clean slate. It may mean that they can afford groceries for the week.
It does make a difference!

Support

A lady in one of my various fb groups posted this yesterday. I immediately thought "that's so true!" and asked if I could share it.
I truly enjoy making all my cards that I have for sale. A lot of love and time goes into each and every one of them. I speak for all the crafters and artists out there when I say, support handmade local artists! Sales of our work is our bread and butter, the stuff that pays our bills and puts food on our tables. The next time you happen upon a stall in your local shops, outside the library, or at a fete, spend a bit of time rifling through the artist's wares for sale. Make it a point to pick out an item or two and support your locals. Your purchase just might make the difference in an artist being able to pay their rent on time or feed their family for the week.

Grazie!
