I've totally been there - working into the wee hours, feverishly preparing for a craft show... slaving... only to sell very little. It can be discouraging, but your attitude is commendable to say the least!

Stalls are SO hit and miss. I've been selling my Phoenix stuff for 4 years now and occasionally some homemade preserves and stuff and you can just never tell how it's going to go. But, the best bit is making the contacts so get yourself some little business cards made up and sprinkle them around and you'll soon be popular!

But, perhaps that wouldn't have been so good for my purse - I think I would have had to buy the whole lot!!! <br /><br />Your lovely, colourful things have inspired me - crochet is now number 1 on my crafts-to-try list!!!<br /><br />I've never tried selling at a craft fair or anything like that (I'm pretty new to selling my crafts). But, earlier this year, I held an 'open house' event at home. It was great, as it meant I was able to show people what I'm doing and make some sales (without having to pay out for a stall). It might be something to try if you've haven't done it before???<br /><br />Carly<br />xCrafted by Carlyhttp://craftedbycarly.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695531099646846114.post-84876453305152663382011-09-06T14:56:26.719+01:002011-09-06T14:56:26.719+01:00The stall looked fab, and the dolls look great, gl...The stall looked fab, and the dolls look great, glad you enjoyed it and fingers crossed for the next one, take care, Tabs xTabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897085369573778388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695531099646846114.post-49508807359620074732011-09-06T03:49:29.439+01:002011-09-06T03:49:29.439+01:00Wow!
