About Our Policies:

Please be aware that this market is highly juried and by invitation only. We will do our best to objectively review your shop. However, the reason a shop is accepted is primarily based on the mood and feeling of your work and shop, which is not always easily put into words. We will always try to provide constructive feedback if a shop does not yet fit into the Marketplace of Blessings aesthetics and expectations.

Please don’t view members of the team as competition but as allies. The quality, diversity, and uniqueness of the products that our market offers aid those buyers who are looking for something extra special. Be confident and proud in knowing that our market can offer that and more.

We are working hard to develop a strong community within our market and hope that you will take part in that by being active in the forums and expressing your opinions. A forum will be started each week to showcase our work, tips, blessings and to have a chance to get to know each other better.

Please request entrance only after reading through our vision, guidelines, and policies, and feel you fit into The Marketplace of Blessings.
