Local Crafters & Artisans Wanted!

Are you a crafty person? An excellent seamstress? A creative Stay-at-home mom who wants to earn some extra money using your God-given talents? Baby, Naturally is searching for local (and by local I just mean the Northwest) crafters who would be interested in selling their hand-made, unique items in our store on a consignment basis. I'm looking for a wide variety of creativity- items should be geared toward children/youth, gifty-type items, things of interest to moms or families, etc. Must fit the flavor and personality of Baby, Naturally! and must be high-quality, well-made and safe items. I am offering 2 options- you can sell items that I display and disperse throughout the store with general merchandise. Baby, Naturally! collects all sales tax, absorbs bad check fees and assumes responsibility for merchandise while it is in my possesion, and collects a 30% commission on each item sold. You will receive a check twice a month for 70% of the retail price on each item sold. Option 2 is to 'rent' a designated area/display space for a flat monthly fee, where you will arrange your items and keep it well stocked, and Baby, Naturally! will collect a 15% comission on each item sold. Twice a month you will receive a check for 85% of the retail price on each item sold.

Items will be selected by jury, meaning myself and store associates will decide if each particular item will be a good fit for the store. We try to keep stocked with reasonably priced items and would like to keep it that way. Space is somewhat limited. Contact me by email (babynaturallyorders@yahoo.com) with any inquiries and pictures of items you wish to submit for consideration. Please do not bring items into the store until you have emailed me pictures and descriptions first.

Possible items we are looking for are vintage/shabby chic decor for kid's rooms, boutique-style clothing, handmade child-safe plush, etc.

We currently have 4 vendors we are working with and would like to add several more. I've been wanting to go this direction for awhile now! Please contact me by email with any questions!
