What a fabulous looking booth & beautiful stuff! And those birdhouses rock oak deer, nothing short of amazing! I am the next person in line to agree with the others when they say to mingle with your customers in a sort of chatty, neighborly manner. Sometimes some things need a little explanation in either the design or thought behind it & some things just almost sell themselves with just a bit more of a nudge from you the seller. You can bet that if you are selling something that is different & a good seller, someone next year will be copying your stuff & they'll be at the same show. I like to try to change things up from year to year, but still do some of the same things, just kickin' em up a notch, if you know what I mean. Some of the reasons that one booth might do better than another is if you can find your stuff cheaper & sell it cheaper, your gonna make more sales. That's why I love refurbishing junk & GS finds. You have next to nothing in it & can turn it around & make a good chunk of change off it if you can think of the right thing to make it into. One year, me & DH made some unique signs & was selling them for $20. No one bought a single one, but I had 3 men literally taking measurements & notes on how they were made. I never seen them being sold anywhere else, but I didn't sell them either, only to friends & personal acquaintances. i wish everyone that's doing craft shows this year all the best of luck - we're gonna need it!

Larry, I bet they all grow and you'll be trying to figure out what to do with 600 onions. Paula, Ten bunches? Trying to set a record, huh? : ) I am only planting 7 bunches. My onions arrived either Monday or Tuesday but since the ground is so wet from this week's rain, I haven't planted them yet. Sunday is supposed to be a pretty nice day, so I hope to plant them on Sunday afternoon if not before. With clay soil, it pays to wait a few days for it to dry out some. It was drizzling when I woke up. I don't know why it always has to rain the week that the onions are due to be planted, but it does. Dawn

Ok, is Trygg or JT hanging around that gnome? That gnome better put on his seatbelt and get ready for a ride! (maybe some duck tape can help in this situation?) :-)

Tenderlee,

Yipppeeee! I am SOOOOOO Glad that all the items made it without damage! It was just too funny becuase the day before I wrapped them I had got all that packaging material at the hobby store my son patrons (and volunteers for free). They had just recieved a shipment that day and that was WAY too GREAT of paper to throw out! So, I'm sure it was really exciting unwrapping it all! :-) I'm so serious that it was so much fun looking for all those items. Some of them I already had and some of them I got real dirt cheap. I feel weird in that I was the first one sending it off. I thought there would be more...BUT, we still have a couple weeks. Thanks for posting a photo. Have fun deciding where to put it all.

Love, Jules

We're facing 110 temps so I am really looking forward to 'forgetting' that in the excitement of my box coming soon. AND in sending mine off.
