anabanana's candles Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I just finished setting up for my VERY first craft fair. I have to give myself kudos. My table looked darn good. Very inviting. I will post pictures tomorrow morning. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anabanana's candles Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Well, I will be leaving in 10 minutes and I am SO NERVOUS. I think that I might spend the whole time in the bathroom. Maybe not, just the jitters. I am excited though. I will post pics this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Have my fingers and toes crossed for you. Please post pictures and good luck. Know what you mean about being nervous. I never sleep well the night before the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabanana's candles Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 Well, my mom took the pictures so they will be up tomorrow. It went well. Okay turn out, but no one seemed to be buying much from anyone. I did okay. Table was $20 and I made $130. Not too bad for my first time out. I do have a FUNNY story though. I sold candles for a while with this girl that I went to school with, but stopped when people started asking for soy and scents that she said that she couldn't get (even thought I found them just fine). Well, she was there. First, she was giving me terrible dirty looks during set up and then during the craft show was the best. My mom had aprons made for me a couple weeks ago with my buisness name so that we would look more professional. Well, wouldn't you know that 2 hours into the craft show someone comes up to her booth with a apron with her buisness name on it. It looked like they had RUSHED to make it. It was so obvious. I never laughed so hard. It didn't look like she had much buisness and it might of had to do with the fact that she had 4 people working with her and her 2 month old baby on her lap most of the time. I actually felt kind of bad, but the apron thing was priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
