The results are ========== that I have a big fat red face - I got to the craft fair and it was the previous week ! I got all dressed up - I was really looking forward to it - I got there & there were no cars. Darn it ! I came home and looked on the internet and it WAS the week before. gggrrrrrrr.........I was SOOOO Mad ! Their next one is Oct.15 --- I'm writing it on the calendar so I don't miss it - so the update will be alittle delayed ~~ **embarrassed smile **

Thanks for the report - only 65 days 'till Christmas and people are already starting tpo buy for it here...

Stacie, how on earth did you control yourself and not buy "something" at all? I could never have done that. Thanks for the info on what crafters were selling. I went to a biggie craft show in my town last weekend and it's just not the same anymore. It used to be super huge with so many crafters doing different homemade things. This year and last, it was jewelry, jewelry and more jewelry. I'm not saying jewelry is not a craft but most of it was not homemade. I did buy some homemade gingerbread felt ornaments I will use in decorative Xmas boxes and a snowman one. And two homemade felt mittens with snowmen in them and some greenery. Very reasonably priced is the name of the game when I buy at the shows. Some crafters go way overboard in their prices. I love country decorating and the one crafter who had homemade primitive country crafts, well, some of it was very sloppily done and not worth the money. I think she could have done a better painting job. Don't get me wrong, some items were fantastic but for what it was, way too high priced (i.e. for an old board and some paint on it with a simple saying). I look for things I can't make myself or things I don't do for crafts. I was thinking of having a table next year and doing a lot of things I didn't see there this year - and keep the prices within reason my first setup and see how I do. Again, thanks for the info, I need to know this kind of stuff. Sal

Congratulations! Maybe people will buy a little more the closer it gets to the holidays. You are so right, you never know what people will buy at shows, sometimes a crafted item will sell like hot cakes and at the next show, it just lays there. Good luck on your next show. I have one next Sat. at local Fire Station! :o)
