Finished my first show for the year (Halloween). The show is for 4 days and has one check out (they take all credit cards). You set up your booth and have to work 8 hours. Their are about 40+ venders and I would say that 85 to 90 percent is purchased merchandise. I can not belive how much I sold the show was w
wonderful came home with emply boxes. What sold redneck wine glasses, halloween plates, light strains with fabric,fabric wreaths, all of course all of the p--p sayings. I need thank all of you for the great ideas and sites that you share that gave me such great ideas for the crafts that I made. Next show is in October then a show or two everyweek unitl the middle of December.

Congrats on the good show!!! Yes some crafters are wonderful and helpful. Hope your next show is fantastic also. Liz

So glad your show was a success! Sounds like you are going to be very busy right up until Christmas.

Congrats what a way to start to year end.

I just saw the redneck wine glasses - can you tell me how much you sold them for? We are dong a show this weekend and are making some of them. TIA! So glad to hear you had a great show - that's always encouraging!

Good for you ! always uplifting when you come home with empty containers-- right ? Now, you have to get busy and fill them up again ha ha

Thank you for the kind words.

I sell the wine glasses for $6.99.

sounds like a profitable show, and well organized. What type of fabric wreaths were popular? Also, am unfamiliar with "light strains with fabric". Can you explain, or better yet show a picture? If you are not too busy getting ready for the next show. Thanks.

The fabric wreaths, I buy wire wreaths at Joanns or Michaels the have 4 rings and I cut fabric 2" wide by 7" long and tie to the rings. The lights I purchase at 99C store and tie fabric between the strands. It is a easy project just takes at little bit of time.

thanks for the info; my kind of project! Fairly easy and great results.
