It's been a couple of weeks since my first craft show and I've been meaning to post something about how it all went. The verdict is that I think it was pretty good for my first attempt, I sold about 15 things which I'm chuffed to bits with! Not the fact that I made some money (which of course was nice!) but the fact that people actually liked my stuff enough to buy it. My little girl tiara and headbands went down really well and I did a roaring trade in converting earrings to clip on's for a steady stream of 8 year olds. Also sold loads of little bracelets and had a ton of interest in the button charm bracelets.
Basically though it was loads of fun, knackering but really rewarding, I felt like a real little craftswoman, sat at my table making stuff whilst people watched.
I'll post a piccie of the table, this was at the end of the day so not that much on there. I think I made a stuff up with the colour of the cloth, which was pretty and festive but took away from the jewellery a bit too much. Still, not bad for my first one! Let me know if any comments on how I could improve it for the next one (oh yes, there will be more next year!)
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteMy first fair, I sold ONE thing. To a family member. I ended up losing lots of time and money---booo! So, I'm quite happy to hear you had some success.
They'll keep getting easier, too, I'm sure.
P.S. I find the phrase 'chuffed to bits' hilarious!
