Maybe a bit of good news!

Well after the bombshell of Basic Grey being sold by Do Crafts being dropped yesterday there may be a bit of good news.

Like me, many of my retailer colleagues were totally aghast by this news and between us we have inundated Basic Grey with emails explaining how, in our view, this would be a very bad move for the company. Luckily BG are a company who listens.

Seemingly it is not a 'done deal' with Do Crafts despite what we were lead to believe. All they want is to get their fantastic products out to the UK scrappers and card makers but they obviously do not want them devalued. It is hoped that between us all we can come up with some suitable suggestions of how this can happen. I really hope we can get this sorted so that many of the independent retailers will be able to carry a good range of Basic Grey products which, in turn, means more and more of the crafting fraternity will have a greater choice and be inspired to produce some amazing work!


Fingers crossed!
