I have always loved crafts but found it difficult to source supplies in Ireland, so in 1998 I opened my own shop -Treasure Bin. My intention was to encourage people not to throw those broken bits of jewellery or scraps of paper/fabric in the bin, but to turn them into treasure. I provided craft workshops and demonstrations to show them how.
I created a website in 2001, www.treasurebin.com, and started selling worldwide. I briefly sold on Ebay as well, but rising fees made it difficult for me to keep my prices reasonable so I now sell on Ebid instead - this is where you will find a range of our products, including discontinued items and other special offers.
Click here to sign up and check out our bargains (it’s free to register and only takes a few minutes).
And then came www.treasurebin.ie where I provide information on our craft classes and bridal services.
I now have Facebook and Twitter accounts so that I can give my customers all the latest news on our sales, new products, holiday closing, etc.
And now … a blog, to give you the complete picture on what is going on with Treasure Bin. But I will also be giving information on craft fairs, wedding events and everything else that I think will be of use. So … watch this space!
