Those of you who follow Sharon on FB will have read that today is a very sad day. Sharon has been in the craft market since 2006 and has found that the
market since then has changed a lot (from a designers point of view)
from the customers point of view, everyone has such a wide array of
beautiful products to choose from and really are spoilt for choice. As a
single handed designer Sharon has found that she just can't compete with the bigger companies
out there and has made the decision to close Willow Designs within the
up and coming weeks.
It's and end of an era for Sharon and all of us that have had the pleasure of designing for Willow Designs.
Sharon will continue to work within the craft market for Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine and very recently has been asked to design for Crafts Beautiful. She will also work for different companies in the background, designing away.
Therefore it is with great regret that Willow Designs Store will be closing down.
