This week I am concentrating on Ulster for our whip around Ireland.
Ulster is made up of 9 counties, 3 in the Republic of Ireland i.e. Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan and 6 in Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom) i.e. Antrim, Armagh, Derry, Down, Fermanagh, and Tyrone. Sorry I can't do a numbers check for the shops in each county- there seems to be a problem with the Shop Local page on ETSY. If you would like to find out the numbers for yourself - go to the home page on ETSY, scroll down and click on Shop Local on the left of your screen, then put in the name of the area you are looking for and it should come back with a list of all of the local ETSY shops .....Magic!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the news on Ulster :)
ReplyDeleteSome of the Etsy Ireland team members are having stalls at St George's market in Belfast, so that's even a bigger enticement to check out this great market! Also, there is now a great yarn seller under the name of Lighthouse Yarns at the back of the market, who stocks really beautiful yarns and knitting supplies, so any yarn addicts *points to self* take note!
Oh, and the Fashion Souk is on this Sunday, too, and for the first time I will be a shopper there - I am really looking forward to browsing the stalls (next month I am back selling).
