Some of you may ave heard of this, feel free to contact them direct. If anyone has experience of them, feel free to share info on the E17 Designers facebook group:

 

 

nuMONDAY.com, a start up with big ambitions to create a community of small businesses that specialise in handcrafted and handmade products.

 

Our aim is to launch in December 2016 and have as many of the best small and creative businesses who specialise within handmade and handcrafted products in the UK.

 

 

We want to give all our members an opportunity to showcase and grow their businesses.

 

It’s free to set up your shop on nuMONDAY.com and it only take a few minutes to do so.  

 

I want to be completely transparent and upfront with you and we do take a 10% commission charge from all sales but unlike other market sites out there we do not charge a set up fee or annual fee to be with us.

 

You will also receive sales immediately via Stripe and not on a scheduled payment cycle.

 

The commission we charge will go into marketing and driving traffic to our site as well as supporting the creative and craft community within the UK.

 

As I mentioned earlier, we are just starting up but our site already has 10 amazing shops all with products ready to sell for launch.

 

It is also worth noting any shop that sets up before our launch, in early December, on nuMONDAY.com will become Featured Sellers for life.

 

I would love your feedback and to work with you create a truly fantastic online community market on nuMONDAY.com,

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this email,

Toy Safety: if you are selling your products as TOYS, here is a useful blog

Toy Safety: if you are selling your products as TOYS,  here is a useful blog about how a designer had to make her “sock toys” conform to Toy Safety.  This blog is to help you to be aware, not to scare you:

·      In June 2011 the law regarding toy safety changed when the Toy Safety Directive 2011 came into force.

·      This stated that: any product (mass produced or handmade) that looked like a toy or was a toy that had play value should be tested to ensure it was safe for any child (under the age of 14) from birth and should carry the CE mark to show it is safe.

·      A sign saying not suitable for under 3s is no longer allowed, unless there is a factor in the toy that means due to dexterity or developmental levels a child under 3 couldn’t manage to play with the toy (e.g. a doll with clothes that can be removed). There are many products that this applies to that aren’t necessarily ‘toys’ such as cushions that are shaped and are obviously for children, pencil rolls and even children’s ‘taggies’. There are some exemptions such as memory bears, where the clothes are supplied by the customer and the finished item is not a toy and art dolls aimed at adults with a high price tag to indicate that they are not a toy. Christmas decorations do not need to be tested.

To ensure toys meet the directive and the supplier doesn’t get caught with a £5000 fine or even a prison sentence:

·      toys must be tested to ensure they are safe.

·      the company Comformance supplies self-certification packs that provide the necessary information to being able to test from home.

·      In this instance the maker carries out the tests (weight, flammability, small components), obtains certificate for the fabrics used, and keeps on file a record of the tests.

·      This file (the technical file) must be kept for 10 years.  I was very nervous when I first started testing and was amazed at how strong socks can be – the weight test stretches seams with 7.2kg of weights (see photo of a little tail being pulled on a Rudolph!). Burning the animals to make sure they are safe is slightly alarming though! Being part of a ‘sock toy group’ on Facebook was invaluable in helping me better understand the various tests I had to do and to help buy the certificates to show the socks were safe to use and passed ‘chemical migration tests’. These certificates were bought after the socks were sent to testing labs.

No toys should be sold without the CE mark and I do know of makers that have had their businesses shut down after trading standards have either found them selling online or at a market. Trading standards have been helpful to me when I wanted to try a new product and didn’t know if it was classified as a toy. However, I have heard that trading standards in different areas have differing views about what needs to be tested so it’s always best to check with your own trading standards. 

To start the ‘CE’ journey I’d recommend contacting Conformance (http://www.conformance.co.uk/) and the facebook group CE marked soft toy support network. Finally, while I have tried to simplify soft toy testing anyone looking to do this should look into the issue themselves as knowing the legal requirements is necessary and trading standards give different information depending on where they are.  For more in-depth information regarding the law and testing I’d recommend reading the section on ‘Handmade toys – CE marking’ here http://oddsandsoxlets.co.uk/blog/

Auction for Calais; can you donate?

Local artists/makers are donating work for auction on 21 November, 7.30 at Queens Arms, Orford Road.

Anyone who wants to donate should drop their work off at Debbie Bliss Home 36 Orford Road (10 till 6 Monday to Saturday).

I assume they will need an image of the work to put on the auction website, but I haven't been given that info, maybe ask for an email address when you go in!

LEYTONSTONE’S CHRISTMAS MARKET TRAIL

¯  This market is supported by the London Borough of Waltham Forest, Stone’s Throw Market, the local business community, Church Lane Market, Matalan Market and the High Road Leytonstone Methodist Church.

¯  It is part of a community strategy to draw people into Leytonstone on the first Saturday of December.

¯  The Christmas Market Trail has a key role in this strategy.  We hope to present a high quality Christmas Market incorporating ‘Stones Throw Market’ located at St John’s and additional stalls at Lister Memorial Hall, Leytonstone Methodist Church, Matalan Market, all offering a wide range of Art and Craft Stalls with goods for sale.

¯  Most of the space at St John’s will be taken up by ‘Stone’s Throw Market’ therefore unless you are already part of that market, you will be applying for one of the Art & Craft stalls available in the Lister Hall of High Road Methodist Church.

¯  The Market will be open to the public from 11am – 4pm and stall holders need to undertake to be there for that period.

¯  The charge for having a stall is £12.50 each, and all of this sum will go towards the rent for use of the halls and should be paid in advance to secure your place.  Cheques for Lister Road should be made to Leytonstone Methodist Church.

¯  Stall holders will be expected to take out their own insurance for this event.

¯  Stalls can be set up from 10:00am on Saturday 3^rd December, and must be cleared away by 5pm on Saturday 3^rd December.

¯  Applications for an Art & Craft stall at this Christmas Market must be made to the Rev. ‘Femi Cole-Njie, Leytonstone Methodist Church, Corner of Leytonstone High Rd & Lister Road, Leytonstone E11 3DS, by email or post using the application form on the next page, by 30^th October 2016.
