Frequently Asked Questions
Your products will be sold via the main gift shop and on corresponding pages throughout the web site. We will assume that you have more than one of each item (unless told otherwise) and keep listing until you wish the item to be removed or changed. You can change / remove items whenever you wish.
If you are selling items that come in different colours / sizes then these are counted as one item i.e. a Teddy Bear available in small, medium or large, in colours red, blue or green etc. will be counted as one item.
If you make more than one type of craft i.e. pottery and knitwear; we advise you to open a dual shop (Pearl / Diamond) to increase your search results.
Don't worry if your type of craft does not fit under any of the headings on our Gift Shop page as we will add a new heading for you.

Hi Emma I have just looked at the page you have done for me, it is lovely,
just as I imagined it would be. I love your website & I think it is great
how you allow people to sell their own crafts on it. I have already told all
my friends & relations about it, not just for me but for the variety of

Hi Emma, That’s great I’m looking forward to seeing the page live. I wish you would accept a gift even if it’s just a little one like a piece of jewellery, a purse or a brooch
from the LADJA site but if not at least you will know the work you do on behalf of your crafters are highly valued.
Thanks again.
Judith

I just wanted to give Emma a big THANK YOU for all her hard work last year and the help with
promoting our online businesses even in the middle of the credit crunch. I am so pleased with my shop and how quick you list my new items for sale. Here is to a good New Year for us all.

Hi there, Sharon from Knitknacks here. I think I'm one of the newest crafters on the site, so thought I should say Hello. I'm delighted with all that Emma has done for me and for the site - how does she do it?!

Diana from Diza
Tiaras
I am a relatively new member of the craft world. I started up in business making tiaras and jewellery for my niece who was getting married waaaay back in 2005. But the craft that lead me to your website was my wire wrapped jewellery which I was taught by a lady in
England. Although I have sold a few pieces to people via wedding fayres I felt I needed to introduce it to the craft world where I know people are always looking for something unusual. Emma WOW you are providing a huge amount of work for us all and I for one really appreciate it. I run my own website where I will be adding your banner to it in the next few days and a church website.
Nice to meet you
