Chainmaille on the HAFshop!

Well Chainmaille By MBOI has spread its wings again and made our products available on the new Handmade Artists' Shop. The HAFshop as it is called is a new online marketplace that is dedicated to handmade. The management and support are second to none and have been excellent. Setting up a shop was very simple and easy. It only costs 5.00 a month which is less expensive than all the other online venues out there. Listing products is a snap which is really helpful considering time is always an issue.
Our new shop is here Chainmaille By MBOI on the HAFshop!
So if you are looking for the hottest new handmade venue on the net, stop by and tell a friend.

Supporting Handmade!

Check out this great feature on the Handmade Artists Forum and Shop!

clipped from www.beadinggem.com The Handmade Artists' Forum and Shop Most of us with significant others can safely say our partners are supportive to varying degrees. Rarer are the couples who fully share the jewelry making passion. Andrew and Kimberley Kitchen are such a pair.

Wonderful Blog Post About The Handmade Artists Forum & Shop

Just thought I would post this lovely blog written by Dream Bubbles! Her comments are very kind! Take a peak at her blog!

clipped from dreambubblesreverie.blogspot.com New Store Front - Handmade Artists' Shop A couple days ago I became a full member of the Handmade Artists' Forum which allowed me to set up as a vendor in the Handmade Artists' Shop. Now this may seem like a redundancy as I already have an etsy shop, however after some indepth research I've found several things that make HAF stand out. For starters they support ALL of US; whether you are a seller on Etsy, ArtFire, Zibbet, your own storefront, twitter, facebook or a blogger if you craft with your own talents on any level they support and love you for it. Secondly I don't know of any other format that has the experience and dedication behind it that HAF does, Andrew and Kimberly head up a team that provides round the clock support for all levels of their site. E.g. It's 4am and I just tried to create a new seller profile only to realize that I clicked the wrong link and created a buyer profile instead... emailed their admin page... fixed in MINUTES!
