A lot of people seem to use Etsy. Though I've never personally used it.

Thanks for your reply Matthew, I've looked at Esty but its in dollars, quite keen to trade in sterling - im easily confused by the currency thing!

Big Cartel is okay - easy to set up and run. It falls down in terms of 'passing trade' but then I wouldn't think Etsy would be much better. I guess that's where 'tweeting' and 'blogging' come in.

Big Cartel is free as well if you have less than 5 items.

Here's mine - http://matpringle.bigcartel.com/

Hope that helps?
