Importing craft supplies

Have you ever thought of opening your own craft shop? Wouldn't that be really cool? You could work on your own projects on those slower days, and you'd have all the materials you wanted on hand? Imagine having your own bead shop and stocking all kinds of really cool beads from all over the world. But where do you start to find those beads to import? Now it's simple really. There is a website called masterseek where you can search for businesses all over the globe. At their site you can search from over 45 million companies in 75 different countries. That should certainly give enough of a variety of bead suppliers all over the world to stock a new shop! But they're not limited to just bead suppliers either. If you wanted to open a yarn shop or a fabric shop, you can search for those suppliers there as well. With that many different companies in their database, there is something there for everyone... even if your hubby wanted to open a kayak shop!

For those of you that have gone commerce and sell your own crafts, you could also list your company there as well, to start exporting to other lands. Imagine your items being displayed in a quaint little shop in London or Paris? Great food for thought for broadening your crafting business horizons.
