hand crafted items in shops?
 

Are there shops that sell locally handcrafted items in The Villages, or just the craft shows...? Not the squares, (already know about those). Thanks for any info!

I am looking to sell one of a kind pendants...necklaces... made from sea glass, sea shells.

Hi:
I don't know about locally but if you haven't checked out Etsy - Your place to buy and sell all things handmade, vintage, and supplies, you might want to. This is a site where craftsman sell their homemade wares. I have bought so many unique things from that website.

Gilded Matilda's in Wildwood does this. Go west on 466A and turn left on 301. Gilded Matilda's is on the right with many handcrafted items displayed on the sidewalk in front of the store.

Thank you for the replies! I actually am on Etsy now,.... ( reinventedhippies )

Looking for other avenues... will check out Wildwood... thanks!

If you haven't already you might want to take a ride to Mt Dora. Nice way
to spend a day.

There is a new store recently opened in Wildwood 0n 301. Go down 466A and turn left onto 301. On the right will be Gilded Matilda's,not far down. There are small parking lots on either side of that block. All of the items for sale are made by local artists...and some have a great sense of humor. There are also classes in mosaics, glass fusion and sculpture. There are two kilns there. I'm sure you can have things made to order if you wish.

Have you ever sold on ETSY? I am looking for a place to sell vintage items but am not fond of Ebay and don't know how to sell on other sites. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks

I have not sold on Etsy, just purchased items there. I did a google search and came up with all kinds of articles about how to sell on Etsy and to get your store started. I wish I could be of further help. The items I have purchased have been really great.

Thanks to everyone for replies!

Recently , there was an article in Daily Sun about a place in Wildwood across from Russel Stover . You can show artwork and I'm pretty certain they take hand crafted items as well .
