Team work!

I spent yesterday morning having a business meeting (oh alright then - chatting and enjoying coffee and muffins) with the Manchester etsy team. Pictured is the original group (barring Sarah, who was taking the photo!) at the Manchester Craft Centre. We first met up a few months ago, after being organized by Cheryl of designrocks, who has become our unofficial team leader/cheer leader/motivator! We meet at the Manchester Craft Centre once a month where we swap information, ideas, encouragement (...sob stories about rubbish craft fairs!), and we are slowly working our way through the muffin menu at the Craft Centre cafe - Cafe Aromat (highly recommended by the way!) The group now has about six or seven regulars - our etsy shops are - designrocks the magpie's daughter dolly cool We're happy to welcome new members so let us know if you're an artist/crafter living in the Manchester area and come along! We also have a fledgling blog here. Photos is courtesy of eyeshoot photography and if you're interested, I'm the one on the left who for some reason is posing as if I only have one leg...!
