It is frustrating with all the time you put into it (not to mention the physical pain!) I hope you feel better real soon.

I love the bamboo necklace display, and the earring card display from Rio. I'm so glad you sold some things at this show. I, too, have noticed a dip in sales these last few months. <br /><br />Best of luck on your next show! oh, and I'm ashamed to say I have not sent your prize package from my recent blog giveaway. It seems I'm swallowed up in lots of things and feeling more than a bit behind. I will get it to you as soon as I can. <br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545020113679133121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181407814477759422.post-20684886510477806452012-11-09T10:53:36.569-05:002012-11-09T10:53:36.569-05:00Your table is fantastic!

I've only done open houses (at my house) but am doing my first craft show (and outdoors) next weekend. I do well at the open houses and am nervous about how well I'll do at the show. I hope your other events do better sales wise.

In general I think a two day show is too much for a new seller and not because you can't do it but because It is exhausting and you can sell as much in one day unless it is a huge festival.I love the pillow your mom made.It is perfect. A tip from me..I usually have something to sell that is less expensive that I call my bread and butter. I make sure I have enough to pay for the booth and my expenses.Some people will never pay for the art bead designs but want to buy something and you still want to get your money back at least.<br />You never know at a new venue but it works for me. Good Luck at your next show.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835672099408671634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181407814477759422.post-17191078592275916882012-11-09T09:24:21.332-05:002012-11-09T09:24:21.332-05:00Gorgeous work and display!!!Gorgeous work and display!!!Sandi Volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890376047821853725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181407814477759422.post-33399629400026411192012-11-09T09:13:51.549-05:002012-11-09T09:13:51.549-05:00Glad to hear your first craft show was a positive ...Glad to hear your first craft show was a positive experience, with the exception of the lack of heat.
