Coming together is the beginning - Keeping together is progress -

Working together is success.  Author ~Henry Ford~

 

 

The Chocolate Crow Trader is Australia’s first online magazine and crafts marketplace designed to showcase Australian designers & artisans.  The designers & artisans on the website exhibit their patterns, kits and ready-made items, all of which are available for purchase. Whether you are after unique patterns or kits, primitives, shabby chic, country, cloth dolls, stitchery, quilts, teddy bears or  naïve painting, you are sure to find it here.

TCCT is a monthly publication, updated on the 15th of each month. Each issue features a different season or theme and comes with a free pattern. If you love the time worn looks of times gone past then you have definitely come to the right place.

 

TCCT has also taken a page out of eBay’s book and holds monthly live (real time) auctions via the chat room.
