THE IDEA of "COMPILATION of RELEASES & WEB-SITES UNDER ONE UMBRELLA" : Most artisans and handicrafts producers or marketers have releases and/or provide information in their Web-Sites.

We anticipate to serve as an anonymous web-site for the handicrafts lovers around the World providing links to the source of information through the headlines of the news, information and/or the announcements provided by the artisans, handicrafts producers, marketers, etc just like a Sign Post or an Index directing the interested visitors to the related parties' web-sites or directly to the relevant pages within their web-sites.

We have undertaken the harder, time consuming part of the task; the development, updating, upgrading of the site leaving the easier but more important, the prequisite part of the task to others (yourselves); the provision of and permission to use information in this regard.

We shall endeavour its best to be responsive to all inquiries and provide room for information received from all parties, but it should be appreciated if the information is not published and/or the request is not handled to his discretion, who with great care will evaluate the information and decide on its interest to the other contributors and the visitors.

It is only the INFORMATION which increases as much as it is shared. The HANDICRAFTS MARKETPLACE is launched to take part as a platform where such information may be exchanged to enrich all.
