Very soon we'll be getting you some information on how you can jump on that promotional train and use handmade living. as a way to promote and bring nation-wide attention to your business. When this information arrives, read through it carefully and if you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

We'll also soon be releasing information on how you can wholesale and onsell copies of handmade living. - not only to make yourself some extra dollars, but to use the book as an incredibly effective marketing tool for your own business.

Coming soon!

Great work, Julie! Love it!

Calendar Postponed for 2010

Dear Designers,

We are enormously saddened to announce the handmade living calendar for 2010 has been postponed until 2011. Due to our massive production schedule and time issues in coordinating over 100 of you(!) we regret the calendar has taken a little bit of a back seat.

Tina has been snowed helping with the book for this year, but next year we will definitely offer the calendar once again - keep an eye on this site for news about both the new book and calendar from January next year.

Thank you to everyone who applied - the calendar will be back even bigger next year.

In other news, the book is deep into production and we are currently shooting a variety of cover shots. Will you see your product on the cover??
