Various jams,depending on season
Ditto herbs
Shells, if by any chance you wanted loads of shells…. :o
Books….
Would like:
Woolly things.
Knitting/felting paraphrenalia
Feathers .. sounds to me with those shells and your beach combing, you should be offering some natural mobiles, windchimes ( shells, drift wood ) .. what do you think ?
how does everyone feel about pricing ? thoughts ?
I know we're not dealing in real money apart from the postage but what kind of prices are people thinking of .. for me, with socks, I always have some yarn left at the end of knitting adult socks that am more than happy to knit up baby / toddler socks but for adults will have to buy balls in ( which is fine ) ... mmmm, thoughts .. please
I guess with things like chutneys/jams/preserves then postage would have to be allowed for within the 'credits' scheme.
Maybe people would have to come up with a 'cost' to them so that credits can allow for the 'full package'.
Using my chutneys as an example- I can do them in recycled jars with plain labels- so odd shapes and sizes (fine for my household use and non fussy people) or I can do them in posh kilner jars with pretty labels- or a 'new standard jamjar with the fabric lids type thing if people wanted a more pretty look for presents etc-obviously the second option costs more…....
I'd work out how much it cost to produce, and if you wanted some cash for buying 'posh jars' and also factor in the postage, before suggesting an ammount. Jars of jam etc normals fetch about 2 'buzzards' - roughly eqiv to £2, but we don't have to post em…
