**A craft link I came across recently in a book -
http://www.craftassoc.com
also check out the page
http://craftassoc.com/hobbybookcontents.html
**Here's an interesting article for all the ebayers
and wanna-bes:
http://money.cnn.com/2006/03/02/magazines/business2/riskfreerecipe/index.htm
It's called "A risk-free recipe for success on eBay"
**I found this very interesting book at the local
library and thought I would
share. It's called "Start & Run A Craft Business" by
William G. Hynes.
ISBN 1-55180-372-0 Published by Self-Counsel Press

The lists below are from one of the last chapters in

would pass it on. I apologize in advance for any
typos. :-)
