That is interesting, John, I have been doing shows now for 12 years and each year, I find more and more of the items being sold at these shows are not handmade but rather imports....
For example a lady who makes wonderful porcilian dolls needs to charge 3-500 for each doll. But her customers want something for less then $100, so she buys dolls (imports) for $18 and resells them for $60-90. I am not condoning this, I am just saying that it happens all the time and the customer is confussed as to what is and what is not hand made.
I know a many crafts people who do this, so the customer has to ask and might even doubt if something is handmade..... Its too bad, but, economics is forcing some folk to cheat and maybe even decieve...... Too Bad....... Ken....
