My first Craft Fair is behind me

phew, I am a tired girl. Those puppies are a lot of work! Here are a few pictures to share:

Overall it went ok. Sales weren't great. I think it was because it was at a college and 90% of the customers were students. The experience was great though. I was able to get a feel for how fairs work. I did a lot of people watching and was in awe at all the wonderful booths at the fair. Most of my sales came from other vendors which was really cool. Maybe they were sizing up my work, or maybe they really liked it ha ha.

I got A TON of compliments on my grid wall. My sweetie, Jim, built it for me. I am very lucky to have him in my life - didn't he do an amazing job? It comes apart for easy (but not light) transport. Not only did he build it but he and my brother-in-law Kenny carried that baby up 2 flights of stairs and assembled it for me THEN came back and disassembled it all and carried it back out. I was sweating just watching them lol

I got my vinyl sign from Empressive Designs. Carisa was great to work with and so fast. I like the vinyl signs better than the standard vendor signs you see at most craft shows.

I will be placing many of the items you see above in my ETSY SHOP this week - so stop by and do some holiday shopping with me.
