But I can upvote a comment. 😊
Totally agree with you @rheteric. It would be wonderful to have a separate and well-curated gallery/marketplace where only original hand-crafted items were placed.
We visit our local organic farmers market nearly every Sunday. Originally it was strictly only organic produce, but over the years conventional produce has slipped in as well. Sometimes this is actually good because some of the stall holders have produce that comes from local farms that are in conversion. The nature of other products has also expanded ie clothing ~ Which supports mainly local small manufacturers. Point being sometimes profit and variety take precedence.
I wonder what it would take to set up a curated gallery/marketplace at Steemit though. Can't imagine that it hasn't been thought of already?
For now I'm looking at #steembay with the view to 'test the waters.' Interested in buying @powellx5's BOHO Wrap Bracelet 🦋
