last craft show of the year

I signed up for this one a few weeks ago, without much hope that i’d do well, since the last 2 craft fairs I did… well, they sucked.

I got there super early to get a good spot, something i seem to be terrible at doing, but i found out our spaces were pre-assigned. I was in the back. next to a woman selling really dopey looking christmas ornaments and across from a woman selling dog treats.

i set up and then sat there for almost 2 hours for it to start at 10am. at around 9:30, another vendor came over and asked me to set aside 4 pendants for her to buy later.  Sure, that’s great. but what if she didn’t come back? At 11am, i had already made almost $100 in sales and brought her pendants to her and asked if she still wanted them. she did.

I finished the day with $450. Not bad. another woman there made $700 with jewelry sales. she had nice stuff. that’s ok. i wish every craft fair was like THAT one but damn am i tired.

goodnight.
