So many have asked how my craft fair went last week, and I honestly was waiting until this Saturday's craft fair was over so I could report on both of them at the same time.
This is the table of my premade scrapbooks -- what I was really hoping would sell.
This table held my cards, mini chipboard books, tags and other assorted odds and ends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first week the craft fair was held in a large high school. Attendance was good. I thought at the time I did fairly well, selling two scrapbooks but a good number of mini albums and vintage greeting cards and ornaments.
The second craft fair which was yesterday was here in a smaller grammar school. I figured I wouldn't do so well as I did the previous week, but I was pleasantly surprised. I ended up selling nine scrapbooks. I also sold more mini albums and a lot of tags. I guess you never know.
One confession: At yesterday's fair I didn't sell anything for almost two hours. That is a very disconcerting feeling. You start to think the whole day may be like that. But then within the course of just one hour I sold seven scrapbooks. Like I said, you just never know.
