Hand Crafted Cottage Industry

The cottage industry is made up of home based crafts people and artisans who still work in small work shops or other parts of their homes. Many trades and crafts have been handed down from many generations. These are the back bone of the American dream, making a quality hand made item and selling them from these home based shops. These talented people are hard to find many are in small towns or live deep in the back roads. Amish communities survive mostly on the cottage based industry concept. www.cottagecraftworks.com is a site dedicated to the cottage based industry.

The American Dream of Handcrafted Products

It seems the American dream of making a quality handcrafted product and then being able to sell it is not as easy today, even with the Internet. No matter what the home based business person can dream up, it likely can already be found on the shelf of a discount store, much cheaper than what can be made by them one at a time. Most of the time products will be duplicated in plastic, made of wood fibers, or sewn on a computerized machine. Nothing like the hand rubbed hardwoods used in the real hand crafted items, or the pain staken hours of the needle and thread in quilt work patterns. The hours it takes to make some of these products can never be recouped in the prices these discount stores are selling them for. Trying to find a market place in difficult economic times is even becoming harder. Even many of the Amish have seeked other revenue streams, working in local factories. With these factories now cutting back, the economy is now hitting these communities hard as well. We at www.cottagecraftworks.com believe the art of making these future cherished items is very important to keep in our American heritage alive. Our web site is totally dedicated to the cottage based industry. We provide a new market place for the cottage based business owners. We charge no fees to set up or carry quality items in our on line store. Please join us in keeping this industry alive.

Aluminum Laundry Cart

I thought hanging out your laundry to dry was old fashioned, or in some up scaled neighborhoods considered rather trashy. I guess we can now call it "Going Green". Funny how things go-a-round. I grew up in a home where the weekly event was not going to the movie on Saturday, rather it was laundry day. We developed a system of washing and hanging out those cloths. Now at age 54, I still enjoy the fresh smell of my sheets and towels after they have hung outside to dry. Much older now and having some back problems I find bending over and toting the laundry basket is not as easy as it use to be. To make this task much easier I discovered an aluminum laundry cart made by an Amish gentleman. It is designed to hold a regular sized plastic laundry basket. I actually use mine in the house to take clothes from the hamper to the washing machine, and yes the dryer when I use it. I love it so much that I have it on my website at

www.cottagecraftworks.com This site is dedicated to the home based cottage craft industry. I feature both Amish and other vendor made items. For our hunting friends we have a full line of quality Amish made game and hunting calls.

Hunting and Family Heirlooms


Hunting traditions and the passing of hunting gear down to your kids then to their kids to become family heirlooms, is becoming more difficult and less affordable. The old time hand craftsmanship is being replaced by cheaper imports of less quality. Hello I'm Liz Stevens for years we have admired the hard working home based craftsmen. We enjoy trips to the Amish communities to see what’s new, and touch and feel the quality of items they make. We are very concerned with the American dream of making a living by being able to build something with your hands is fading away. Cheaper imports and or replacing hardwoods with plastic, is making it more difficult to sell home based business products. If your still interested in old fashioned handmade quality products, we have dedicated a web site and on line store to the cottage crafts industry. We have a full line of Amish crafted hunting calls.
