📦 Let's Talk Storage! 📦 Every vendor seems to have their own system when it comes to storing supplies, stock, display pieces, packaging, tools and all the other bits and pieces that somehow come along with running a handmade business. 👉🏼Some people have dedicated craft rooms. 👉🏼Some have shelves, bins, and label makers working overtime. 👉🏼And some of us may or may not have supplies quietly taking over spare bedrooms, closets and corners of the house. 😅 So I'm curious... Poll: Where do you keep most of your craft business supplies? And once you've voted... Do you have a storage system that works really well? Any organisation tips, storage hacks or lessons learned you'd recommend to other vendors? Feel free to share photos too. I always enjoy seeing how different people organise their businesses. 👇 Vote in the poll, then tell us more in the comments! 📦✨

Here’s some of my work! I’ve got plans made for several more designs but I’m struggling with transfer methods. The lizard-y guys (champsosaurs) have now been cut into bookmarks, and I want to make printed pencil cases!

Some gorgeous new faces have joined us this week, so I wanted to take a hot minute to say a warm welcome. If you're new here, I’m really glad you found your way to The Craft Market Collective. This safe space was created for vendors and market hosts who want to learn, share ideas and make the whole craft market experience a little easier. You’ll find conversations, lessons in the classroom, and plenty of people who understand what market life is actually like. You don’t have to jump in right away. Feel free to look around, read a few posts or explore the classroom when you have time. And if you feel like introducing yourself, tell us: What do you make or sell at markets? Welcome. I’m so happy you’re here. L.

I’m going to be doing my first ever market and it’s outdoors. There is no wifi. Is it truly reliable to use the data on my phone? It’s only 4 hours and part of a community Canada Day event. Which system do you prefer (square, PayPal, etc)? Any tricky things? Do people still want receipts printed? Any pro tips - (let’s assume the battery is fully charged - lol!) The wisdom of the group would be appreciated!!
