Craft Show Pics

16 years ago

Here are some pics of the craft show this past weekend. I did pretty good, I sold $381.00 and my booth rent was $25.00. The show was only 6 hours. DH help me set up Friday night and break down Saturday. I still had lots left, but neighbor who has a stained glass store is going to let me put some totems there on consignment. It was really fun. I came up with an idea for my next sale. I have had garden clubs ask to tour my yard, I think maybe I could have a show and sell for them. What ya think? Sorry pix are a little blurry.

froufrou...that sounds pretty darn good to me (especially for a 6 hr show)! And your tables looks gorgeous...but, boy, I'd be holding g'kids hands to stop at your space! Lots of beautiful glass!

what sold the best? How 'bout those darling bottle bugs thingeys? Were there lots of lookers? People going thru quite often? TFS! Jeanne S.

Way to Go, Frou. Super display, and I think your sales were really good for just 6 hrs. How did the little Bottle Angels do?
Your idea for your next sale is definitely a GOOD one!

hugs, Karen

Lovely display!! Glad things went well & you made some money! Are you wanting to sell to garden clubs? If so write up some of advantages of having glass in the garden---adds interest,adds color before plants start blooming, ties an area of garden together,adds a touch of whimsy, etc. That way when you talk like that they will think they need just what you have!! Also I didn't see any bird feeders or baths, be sure to have them around in garden if they come as many gardeners are also birders!! Good Luck!! Jan

Thanks guys, the best seller was the votive/bottle bugs, everyone loved them. Surprisingly, I only sold one angel. I sold some of everything else. I sold four large totems, people like the ones that were feeders and the blue and white ones best, I sold 3 blue ones and one green one. The bugs were $10.00 and $12.00 dollars, plate flowers $15.00 (plus pole $3.00), the mini-totems $12 & $15.00, teacup feeders $12, mushrooms $12 & $20, and the totems $25 and $30. It was a lot of fun.

Syble,

Your display is absolutely stunning! Very nicely set up. And you really had a lot of cool items. I am not surprised you did so well. It is all about presentation and you had that down pat!

I'm glad I wasn't there because I'd be broke! lol! Love all your creations and it sounds like other folks did too and proved it with their wallets. Congratulations on the great sales and good luck with the garden tour if you do it. I think it would be a great idea.

Glad you had such good sales. Your booth sure looks pretty. I like your idea for the garden tour/sale too. I think people would like seeing them in a garden setting, then you could end the tour with a display of items for sale at the end. After seeing them in your garden, bet lots of them will want their own. ;o) Luvs

Absolutely gorgeous!
As a crafter w/ 35+ yrs experience, I'd like to make 1 suggestion to you & anyone else reading...
The display is perfect, clean, orderly, BUT, get some dark green tablecloths.
First, that will give the "garden" appearance. More important, it will "set-off" all your beautiful creations!
Weather I sell at a show or online, I use a forest green background. Started beacause I had a whole 18-yd bolt of polyester ($1/yd at Walmart). It brought out the best of everything, my sales increased, and I've done it ever since.
It used to be crafts, then H&B, now, yard art too.
Something so simple can make a BIG difference!
Tryyyy it, you likeeee it! lol
