Nice job, Larry! Where was your show?

The show was at the O.L.Davis Fire Station in Endwell.  At Hooper and Country Club Roads.

It's a small show, Only about fifteen crafters were there. A couple 'bakers', cookies, bread & cupcakes.

Knitters, jewelry... I was the 'lone' woodworker'. They have the show twice a year, fall/spring.

It is a nice small small show  that I enjoy. 

If you are interested in attending the spring Craft Show:

O.L.Davis Auxiliary Craft Fair

c/o Donna Hobart 310 Hollerith Ave

Endwell, NY 13760

Glad you had a good day Larry.  Look forward to seeing your pictures but I believe it happened even without them.  ;)  :D  Glad the birdhouses were good sellers for you.

 

Well Larry, you didn't get rich, but, you did make a descent amount of money for a one day sale. I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures after you've posted them.

Really,,, I enjoyed telling people about making the bird houses....because some of my houses are 

'siblings' ....or the 'step child' houses  post-5492-0-14857300-1478482602_thumb.jpg these are called

the J&S Houses or "The Negatives'  These are the scraps everyone else tosses away after they 

cut the 'parent' houses.

I would start telling about how I make them and that attracted other customers. This promoted the selling of the 'Positive' or the 'Parent' houses.

...... but regretfully.....I have no pictures of the show.

At one point I had to quit making notes of what houses I was selling so I could attend to 

another person wanting a bird house. 

My notes show I sold eight 'Parent' and one 'J&S' houses but I know I sold more than one J&S.

(J&S stands for Jesus and Susan .Without whom there would be no J&S houses...Susan is my Wife)

I refuse to do an inventory ... to much of a hastle since I really am not sure of  how many I've made

I think I've cut about 72 houses and from that have made an additional 50 J&S houses...

Think I'll do a BLOG... to be continued...
