These are lovely ribbon flowers made by my niece.
Mum's cards were popular as ever and she sold over 150! My sisters jeans bags were really popular too, she sold several of them. And lavender hearts were my most popular seller - I sold........2. And a keyring! Having read so many blogs over the last few months written by people who had had disappointing sales at craft fairs, I really wasn't expecting to sell anything so I was not surprised. Or upset, because the evening was to raise money for charity and so I was more than happy that the table cost (which was shared between the 3 of us) went to a good cause. I did come home with less than I went with - along with the sale of 3 items, my niece took a shine to a few things I had made so she went home with lots of goodies (if you can't make things for your niece, what can you do?). My Mum and Sister had their eyes on the Trugs, so they went to good homes too. As I said, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, chatting to lots of people and is was great to see Mum do so well. I would certainly do one again.
I'll be linking up with Handmade Harbour (http://handmadeharbour.blogspot.co.uk/) for Handmade Monday, so join me there if you can.

Your stall looks fab. Well done on everyone getting such a lot of sales.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time. Your stall looks very inviting.
ReplyDeleteWell done for surviving your first fair, my first taught me lots of things and boosted my confidence too. I think the experience is the most important thing when we're starting out, and I bet it was great to have your family there to sell things alongside you. I hope you're planning to do more - I know I am.
ReplyDeleteWell done, it sounds as though you had a fantastic time at your first event - well done. 150 cards is very impressive - bet your mum was pleased. Your stall looks lovely. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Sounds like successful day! X

ReplyDeleteWell done on your first craft fair. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Your mum's cards must be amazing to sell 150 !!!! xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first fair. Sales are great, but sometimes the connections you can make with other sellers can be more valuable. Definitely worth doing.

Your stall looks lovely. Such a shame that you didn't get many sales. 150 cards sold though is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAww your stall looks so lovely and inviting! I'd definitely come over for a good browse :) Well done on your sales - i didn't sell a thing at my first fair! I can't believe your mum sold so many cards - that's amazing!
