MY EDIT: A handmade Mother's Day with gifts from Folksy...

Folksy is a great website, putting small scale designer-makers and craftspeople in touch with a wider market. The range of products, styles and prices is incredibly diverse, meaning there's something for everyone but also that you have to really trawl to find what's right for you. One piece of well-intentioned advice for Folksy: you really need to find a way of helping people to refine their searches, look at more items per page etc. because few visitors have the inclination to browse 139 pages of cushions. Fortunately I did. Here's my edit from just a few of the homeware categories. Trends include green, yellow, cream, neutrals, botanicals, geometrics, wood, rustic ceramics, fur (faux), knits, rope and weave.
