We have all been to fairs and swap meets and seen all of the wonderful crafts that people make from there home. Some of these  products are amazing and are what I consider the “Hidden Gems” of society. Throughout the world in every country,and just about every town there are thousands,if not millions of people producing art,furniture,ebooks,clothes,quilts ,and just about anything you can imagine.I live in a small town in Washington state and am amazed at what is produced in our county alone! The problem is most people are doing this on a small scale and have no exposure to market these wonderful products! sure some people are starting to use Ebay or have a web site  to promote their stuff which is fine ,but these venues only work for for customers who are looking for the specific item that is being produced!
