debscent Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Well, this was the weekend for Open Houses. I had my 4th Annual Open House and it went fairly well. Over $1200 in sales. Food cost me around $200, but it's the one party a year I throw, so it's worth it. What a ton of work though. As Michi said, you work your ass off!Anyway my biggest sellers this year were: Snowy Pine in the frosted tumblers from Dollar Tree that I placed in one of their nesting boxes. Sold it for $12.50. And, also Brandied Pear from CS!I had alot of $12.50 - $20.00 gift baskets that did really well. Sold about 25 clamshell tarts. I have a few things left over that I'm bringing into work tomorrow and will probably get cleaned out of them. I couldn't tell you how many people came, but it seemed like the only thing I did all day was wrap candles & get paid.Oh, and today, I was promoted!!! I'm the new Trust & Estates coordinator at my job. A position that was created just for me. What a good day!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
