Pretty nice setup, everything looks good do you mind if I ask what the best sellers were or did everything go around the same?

Thanks Marg. They sold very well as they always do. I think I sold about half my stock which was about 150.

The mini birdhouses were the best sellers followed by Christmad ornaments and puzzles. But everything sold well.

Thanks Rolf! Top sellers were the mini birdhouses, Christmas ornaments and puzzles, but I sold a lot of everything!

Very nice display and you do have a nice assortment for the people. You mentioned it was drizzly, how did that work out for you???  I only did one outdoor show and it was in the summer. I just do not want to take the chance with bad weather even with tents. I talked to many crafters that had disaster stories. But a fair like that sounds inviting because of the amount of people attending. I saw some crafters behind you with no tent set up. I am guessing the rain was not all that bad or their stuff would have been ruined. Anyway thanks for showing and good job.

It was a light mist, not a constant rain. Once I put up my wall on the back side, I had no problem. I had done this show three years prior and has always been very hot. I saw those dummies behind me without a tent. They were selling jewelry. When the mist got heavy, they had to cover their display with tarps.

It's expensive, $175 for an in between space, and $195 for an end space. This was a one day show, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.

My next show is in two weeks. It's a two day show and runs $125. It's an indoor show of local crafters and has been running for 36 years. This will be my fourth year.
