I'm Bettacreek's friend and she suggested I ask on here for some help. I make Jelly, Candy...chocolate and hard, crocheting, etc. I am looking for ways to sell these items. Does anyone have some ideas for me?

Farmer's market or mom and pop stores. Just check with your state regulations on what you can make and sell as a home processor. Here in NY I can make fruit jams, jellies and hard candy but not vegetable jams, relishes, pickles or chocolate candy. I would need a $400 licence and a commercial kitchen for those.

I know a girl that has a candle shop and allows her friend to sell her homemade soaps out of the same shop. She has a small display near the checkout counter. Our bank allows (on ocassion) someone to put a small display or ad in the lobby, same with the insurance company and the jewelry store. Of course, I live in a town of about 1,000, and the places I mention are just about it for 'town', lol. Minus Dollar General and the gas station, I've just about covered it! :D
