Folksy Friday

What is a Folksy Friday and how can I get involved?

Creating a Folksy Friday is akin to being a window dresser in a bricks and mortar shop, displaying the very best you have to offer from various designers to entice customers to come in and browse around the rest of the shop!  Folksy Friday has been growing every week and is a great way to spread the word about the wide array of quality handmade items that can be found here.  It’s also a fantastic way of attracting new readers to your blog or facebook page and getting involved with the Folksy community.

To create your own Folksy Friday choose a selection of items on a theme, pick a colour, a mood, seasonal stuff or anything you can think of,  you will always find some Folksy sellers who have great items for you to choose from!  There are no hard and fast rules, just be creative, add some text, think of a catchy title and post it on a Friday! (Don’t forget to link to and direct mail each seller to let them know they have been featured)

Folksy Fridays can be made on facebook, blogs and anywhere else you can display images with clear links back to the sellers shops – just make sure you post your link in the Folksy Forum each week, and tag your item link with folksy if you are posting on twitter or facebook so that we get to see them all.

Every week we’ll be picking a member of the Folksy community (buyers and sellers!) to guest post a Folksy Friday for this blog! We’ll be on the look out for those of you with great themes and an eye for a great image. Please complete the form below if you are interested in taking part:
