First Time Selling at a Craft Show

Thanks for all the encouragement last week about taking my first booth at a holiday fair! It happened on Sunday, and it went very well. Here's a shot of me and my space:

Most people hadn't heard of mixed media before but they seemed interested and I had quite a few sales. My sister Cathy helped me and it was great to have a second pair of hands and eyes. I was also really lucky to find a tag sale on Saturday where a woman was selling store fixtures for next to nothing. I purchased the best little dress and two metal racks that held my magnets:

  

I also had many sizes of canvases:

Last night I added the remaining magnets and canvases to my Etsy shop. Please pop over to see the full inventory if you're looking for any gifts, stocking stuffers, etc.   

Thanks so much for the visit.  Have a great week!

Your crafting space looks beautiful. Fantastic, that your selling was successful :)

Well done! Your table looks great. I always use black table covers, as everything seems to pop off them. (I use cheap black sheets from Wal-Mart) Love your display pieces...that was good timing, wasn't it? Such beautiful artwork, Marjie! Give yourself a pat on the back. Now that you've broken the ice, the sky is the limit! Yay, you!

Looks fantastic Marjie. I really like your display and the racks with the tags and smaller pieces. Glad you enjoyed the experience and will now do more......Table looked really nice and so professional. xox

[Annette Green]

Congrats Marjie! Sounds like you were successful and had a good time! Your table looks fab too!!

[Susan]

I love how the racks add height to your display. Perfect!
The next question is..... would you do it again?

[Terry]

I was wondering why I had not seen much of you and now I remember!! So happy that it all went well! The first time doing anything is scary, but GF, you just keep grabbing that bull by the horns! Very nice display! Hugs!

[Debby]

Glad it went well for you. I sold Longaberger and actually used to demo rubber stamps for an independent distributer and the craft shows were kind of fun. They seem to be losing their appeal around here right now. Love the displays you have. Good luck with future events!

[Brenda Brown]

Brilliant news, glad it went well, and what fabulous stands you acquired. I knew you could do it, your photo looks fab.
