I was a bit disconcerted that I couldn't find my camera but I found it at Buckhorn in my repair kit. Yes, I always take a repair kit in case anything falls apart etc. What a relief to finally find it!
I thought I would start out the day with a sweet good will gesture. With a handful of decorated lollipops in hand, I went from vendor to vendor handing each a lollipop. They were so surprised and pleased and I must admit I felt good. Later some came and visited my booth and even made some purchases - but that's not why I did it.
The day was awesome! I was so busy I was run off my feet, and by the end of the day I could hardly talk. I sold a lot of everything, from cards to trivets to Halloween and Thanksgiving treats, even selling out of at least 7 different items. I've got my work cut out for me this week, replacing those items as I have another 3 day craft show (Hand of Man) next weekend.
My sales total was well over $230.00.
Here are some pictures of the items on my table. Keep in mind that a lot of these items are no longer there as they were sold.
These are some of my Christmas cards. I have others laying on the table to entice people to come look.
There are gift card holders on the left.
I brought my rack of all occasion cards, and sold quite a few from different categories. To the right you can see a rack where I have gift tags hanging.
This is the rack of Halloween and Thanksgiving cards. Today I put the Thanksgiving cards on 1/2 price sale - which really stimulated sales. You can see a couple of the Witches shoes in front of the rack.
In the middle of the table I have an elevated area upon which I place a few items which will hopefully catch people's eyes. The framed picture is one I did with alcohol inks on shiny cardstock.
Halloween candy was a favourite with all. One lady came and bought all of these for her grandchildren. The plate is a spider web plate I bought in the dollar store.
I packaged decorated lollipops in cello bags and decorated the tops of the bags. Some were pumpkins and others were Halloween figures. I think by the end of the day there were 3 bags left.
Some trivets that come in 2 sizes. One lady said to me that what attracted her to the trivets was the attractive packaging. She ended up buying a large one.
Trivets, ornaments , candles and coasters.
Three of several types of ornaments. These I hung on the wall.
This framed picture would be perfect for a little girl's room.
Some of the out cabins. Originally I was assigned one of these cabins, but because my stuff is mainly paper I asked very nicely if I could be indoors in the community center. The organizer was able to find an indoor spot for me. I was very happy as it was cold and miserable yesterday, a little warmer today, but still chilly.
I hope tomorrow is as good as today was.
