sharyl55 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I had a great show today. Weather was just crappy enough that folks didn't want to work in their yards. Thank goodness they came to the show and were in the mood to buy. This is my 4th yr doing this show. I had several repeat customers from last year. One lady stocked up on clamshells. Told me Yank** tarts suck (her word not mine) compared to mine. Now that really made me feel good. Made up for unloading in the rain this morning. Sold out of my holiday casseroles except for the Brandied Pear which was my personal favorite. Go figure. Ended up doing just over 12x registration fee. Feels good to have repeat customers. There is an Eastern Shore web page. The man that runs it showed up and took some pictures. Here is the link. http://www.esva.net/cgi-bin/pix?Scrapbooks/Nandua_Craft_ShowMy stuff is the 1st two pictures in the 5th row - Memory Candle and Wine candles. I may have to contact him about taking pictures for a web site for me. Amazing what a pro can do with a camera. My pitiful attempts at pictures are here. As always I'm looking for input to improve my set up.Hope everyone had a great day. This was my 4th show in 8 days and I am totally exhausted. Heading to bed for a well deserved nights sleep.

dcroome2005 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Congrats Sharyl :yay: I wish I could have done it with you but with this change in weather, my nasty cold wouldn't allow me. Ladies, she kicks butt when it comes to air freshners. She did a show with me last week and they flew off the rack LITERALLY! It was bare by the time we left. I am sure they will sell off the rack again Dec 1st Sharyl Hopefully!!! :pEspecially when I tell them the story of my kitty litter box. haha!You deserve all this success girl. I am so proud of you! Gorgeous display and your products are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavenScentU Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Great job with your setup. I just finished a one day show and did just as well as I did last week and it was a two day show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Awesome! Glad you had the success today! That's a lot of shows in that time period so rest well! The only suggestion I would have is to mute out that red drape lol (but it's like the color purple, I don't like it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luci Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Sharyl, your displays look wonderful! I love, love, love that little boat!Congratulations on your success! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 I got the mini casseroles from Michaels. The boat makes my life so much easier for the votives. I can load it up at home and just set it on the table. I only use the red table clothes for the holidays. It is kind of loud. I'll have to see if I can get some dusty rose colored ones.

hometowncandles Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Congrats! Everything looks really nice. You've done more shows in the last 8 days than I've done in 2 years. I would be totally exhausted. *faint* I'm looking to add a couple next year, children permitting. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candles by DonnaMarie Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Very nice. They also have the loaf pans at Christmas Tree Shoppe for a buck. I have stocked up on them because my Halloween and Thanksgiving ones were a big hit. So many different designs. These are going to be my best seller this year.Question: I'm assuming that these are the 9oz pans? If they are, are you triple wicking and how much are you selling them for? I am finding that I have to triple wick these.Bob and DonnaMarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 I've had success double wicking these. It does take a couple of burns to get a full melt pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
