Lets all wish Red....

Red- think about grouping like things together. The pitcher, glasses, plates and cake plate as a group and price it a couple dollars cheaper if they by the whole group, also set a price per peice. This may increase your sales at the next sale. Also only put a couple of the same item on the table, it looks like there is just a few of the same thing available. Some people don't want the same as someone else has so they look for the different.

Now have said this, I think your things are beautiful and I am like the rest, the economy is hurting everyone at craft shows. We have one here the first week-end of the month and from talking to thoses out there, sales are way down. Friends of mine that have had things set up for the last 30 years, have said this is the worst year they have seen. They have stopped doing some of the shows because it has cost more than they made.
As long as you enjoy doing the show and make back at least what it cost and a little more, go for it and enjoy.

Curious how the show was Red ...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. There were a few such as the step ladder that I was not able to use due to space in the two cars that were filled but will most likely use it eventually. Tweety the show was ok..I sold 463.5 and was told by the other venters that they were selling from 50-100.00 for this fair..so they thought I was doing well.... however, they also told me as it was my first, that this is not normal and that they felt that it was related to the economy also. I have another one on the 18th..and it is an hours drive away versus 5 minutes from my daughters house so I do not have the means to get it all down this time. Right now I am trying to decide what to send. I am still painting, but mostly wood as of now. I have so much inventory in wood that I want to get rid of ...so I will stry to sell more of it next time. I really appreciate all your support...

Sparkey I am going to do a fall mailbox. I wanted to do it friday and just didn't have the time to relax and make it happen. As soon as I do I will post it ok.... also Tinkerbell..you are right about that..I did have about 8 cookie jars for halloween and only two sold... thanks for your thoughts...I did have a picture book from online that put the items into sets with a discounted price. Alot of people asked me if I had a web site..and they took my card. They also were asking about peices of glass that they had and they wanted it all painted with the same decoration..asking me if I would do that..of course I said yes.... lets see what happens...love Red
