Meet Some of HiP’s Fabulous Sponsors

I am lucky to have some of the greatest sponsors on the interwebs! I’d like you to meet some of my newer ones and invite you to give them all a little love!

Melissa, from Melissa Lobach Design Studio, is a graphic designer with a passion for marketing! She is also a crafty lady. You can follow her on Twitter @theIllustrator. She specializes in design services to make your small business pop.

Linda, from Little Flower Designs, creates modern folk-art ceramics. To find out more about Linda and her work, check out this interview I did with her a couple of months ago! Linda’s OOAK work is available on Etsy, her full line is available on her main site, and she also has a bridal registry.

Mary Beth, the founder & creator of E A Poo’s, is a “cloth diaper evangelist!” Being a cloth diapering mommy myself, I totally understand this title: we’ll tell anyone who will listen about the joys of cloth diapering. Mary Beth creates fitted cloth diapers, menstrual pads, nursing pads, and all sorts of other reusable cloth accessories for mama & baby!

jCrane Jewelry is sleek, polished, and sophisticated. Working in sterling silver and enamel, Jessica creates pieces that can be worn to make you feel special everyday. Her work incorporates both contoured and cut metal.

I will share bits from more sponsors later today!

But I also wanted to make an announcement about advertising on HiP. Until today, advertising has been limited to craft/art businesses in Pennsylvania. However, I believe that you, my readers, may be interested in supporting other small PA businesses that you might not have been previously aware of. So advertising is now available here to all PA small businesses, in keeping with HiP’s mission.

If you’re new to internet advertising, Handmade in PA is a great place to start! Rates are now based on a set number of impressions, or views. You can purchase as little as 1000 views for $2.50. Check out the advertising page for more information on HiP’s demographics.
