Well, I took the plunge and opened a Shop on the 1000 Markets site.
Before your site goes live, you must complete several steps, including setting up your policies, posting 5-7 products, opening a payment account with Amazon and your shop must be reviewed before getting final approval. It took me a few days, but my shop was finally approved and went live this evening.
Come check it out:
HMMills1000 Markets is similar to Etsy and according to their webpage is:
Our markets are more than just collections of products;
they are full of people and stories. They have voices and
personalities.
Our merchants are small, independent, artisan businesses
built by people who love their craft. They make and sell
unique products, based on their own vision, personality and
story. Working together, these artisans create marketplace
communities - gathering places where merchants can
exchange ideas, and customers can browse and talk.
Our markets are large and small, broad and narrow. Some
have themes, like food, crafts, or art. Others cultivate a
sense of place around a region. And some exist simply
because the people in them share friendship or common
values. Each market fosters its own one-of-a-kind
community, always unique and interesting.
Laura also has a blog, Paint in My Hair where you can check out some of her artwork and hope that Michael Miller transforms some of those pieces into fabric as well.
