Early days of a new venture

This was the scene on my studio floor this morning.

I am starting an on line shop with long time friend, talented artist and all round good sport Sabina Rose and we want to make stencilled accessories for home and body. This was our first evening's work it was so much fun and if our customers get as much enjoyment from using them as we had painting them then we have success.  Pictured are stencilled bags and cushion covers inspired by the forthcoming diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth.

We will be creating different ones today and then photographing our work with the intention of finding a retail outlet other than this blog. So, creators and buyers of handmade products please advise us if there is an online shop that you prefer such as Etsy, Handmade or others? Who would you recommend? Please tell.

PS since writing this I chose Folksy.com and you can buy the bags from www.folksy.com/shops/forqueenandcorgi
