I feel sorry for those ladies.<br />I don't understand how some women can undercut you by charging 99 cents for a doily on eBay. It makes people think that's all doilies are worth. <br />Why do some people buy crocheted items from a store when they can buy better quality crochethuahuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004794482061012984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34470593.post-60541061719353183922012-01-13T16:54:28.380-06:002012-01-13T16:54:28.380-06:00I too crochet doilies, give them away, sell them o...I too crochet doilies, give them away, sell them on etsy and it is hard. There are people who only want to make the sale. I use only what I consider to be the best of threads,my patterns are paid for (will not use copies or give copies away)and spend a great deal of time creating heirloom quality doilies. I am proud of the doilies I make.

Their contact information is in China. I'm sure that the women who are making these items are not paid what they are worth but at least they are providing something for their families.

I believe that 3rd world countries are the source of these retail items. I do not buy these items as I can make them myself.....<br />I would like to know where they actually do come from.<br />Have a great day!!<br />MarilynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
