It's a beautiful day in Downtown Concord and the very last day of 2016.  It's been a busy and tumultuous year!  We have made so many new friends in both people who visit the shop and new artisans who display their craft.  We have grown to represent over 200 different craftspeople- some emerging and selling their work for the first time and some more established companies like Badger in Gilsum NH and Tree Free Greetings in Swanzey.   Suffice it to say,  we have only scratched the surface of all the talent in New Hampshire and New England.  We already have appointments to meet new artists on the calendar.

Winning the business competition, Innovations for Entrepreneurs sponsored by Comcast Business was a highlight of our fist year in business and we have all of you to thank for supporting us in the voting process.  Meeting the business experts was inspiring and laid the groundwork for many exciting plans in 2017.  Look for a improved ecommerce website (marketplacenewengland.com) and lots of videos with our makers.

So - let me sum it up by saying thank you for all of your interest and support during 2016 as we brought NH made gifts and New England handcrafted items to you.  We are looking forward to 2017 and all of the adventures that lay ahead!
Happy New Year!
