I had a blast over the weekend! I was in a craft fair at one of our local churches.
It wasn’t a really big one, but a lot of people came to it. I even saw my sister and some friends I work with. As you can see, I had a lot of my crafts in the sale. Actually, I was disappointed that Daughter C. didn’t bring some of her crafts to help fill up the space. But as it turned out, I had a lot more crafts than I thought I had! I filled up my booth-space just fine!
I had a LOT of comments on my candy babies which you can see in the above picture. They are crocheted with stuffed heads and mesh bodies. I fill the bodies with candy and tie the arms and legs shut with ribbon. Just about everyone had to comment on them, but I didn’t even sell one! I took them to work to pass out, and they were gone in two minutes! Aren’t people funny?!?
This view shows the little shelf that I had all the fall items on. Didn’t it make a nice display? I didn’t sell too much off of it though. I sold the pumpkin and some placemats and one other little item. That’s about it. See the rack with all the afghans on it? I sold three of my baby afghans and one of the little pink blankets with the crocheted trim. One of the baby afghans I had just finished the night before the sale!
See the “Christmas” tree? Hubby made that and the one in the previous pic. I LOVE them! I can hang a LOT of ornaments on those trees! Just about everyone that stopped at my booth bought an ornament. A dollar is just a dollar but when you keep adding them to the jar, you’re rich before you realize it! I sold a lot of one dollar ornaments! In fact, I made more money at this craft sale than I’ve ever made at all the other ones I’ve been in. Not that I’ve been in that many, but over the years, I’ve been in several.
The main thing is that it was fun — a lot of work — but fun! I enjoyed meeting the people and hearing all the oohs and ahhs over my work. The other craft vendors were soooo friendly, (but I’ve never met any that weren’t.) I’ve already signed up for next year! Now let me see . . . . . . . what were the most popular crafts . . . .?
Well, I’ve got some ideas going through my head! I’d better get to work. See ya next week and happy crafting!
