Nice stuff but nothing special really in such a competitive market. I regularly attend artisan shows and would like to include some unique handcrafted items. Would it be best to just link to their sites or carry some select pieces and sell from my site (ie; XYZ Studio Collection)??? Any advice or other ideas welcomed and appreciated!

I would suggest you B2B website to look for suppliers of the products you need to buy. B2B websites list suppliers and manufacturers from different parts of world with contact details and product information. It becomes easier for buyers to locate these suppliers and contact them from B2B websites. Some good B2B websites include http://www.hellotrade.com and http://www.globalsources.com.

Horaayy..there are 3 comment(s) for me so far ;)

linking to their site has the risk that your customer will deal directly with the artisan…carry a few select pieces and increase your inventory as your sales increase…Good Luck

You can sell handcrafted items at http://www.etsy.com. You can find more items to sell at http://www.iwanttosellstuff.com (which has online wholesale sources.)
