I've recently discovered Talk Folksy on Folksy.com and I love it! Talk Folksy is a forum for folksy users and is full to the brim of lovely friendly fellow crafters.
There are seven categories to choose from when you log in, my favourites are Shop Talk and showcase. Shop talk is, as the name suggests, about talking about your folksy shop and discussing any issues or asking for advice. Showcase is for just that, showcasing your creative talents to anyone who will listen! Its good for getting people looking at your shop when your having a lull in sales, just basically find a topic and say hi. Fellow forum users are in the same boat as you and are always happy to say hi back and take a look at your shop as long as you return the favour ( it's only polite after all!!)
Another Category worth visiting from time to time is the Fancy a cuppa? Page, where you can have a general chit chat with people and make friends talking about anything, not necessarily craft related topics.
The other categories are Wanted, used for looking for supplies your having difficulty finding. craft talk, which is about talking about crafty things like tutorials. UK craft events which is finding or promoting a craft event in the UK and the last category is Meta which is asking questions about the forum its self, sort of like a help desk.
So there it is Talk folksy in a nutshell, hope this inspires you to join, it's well worth taking a look and saying hi.
A blog for people who like unique, vintage inspired, handmade pieces of jewellery
