Title: Craft Fair.
Post by: Keefie on November 18, 2012, 01:45:07 pm
I have just finished a 2 day craft fair. There wasn't as many people coming in as I would have liked but I still sold quite well. I sold £138.50 of my bits, and I sold raffle tickets for the " Santa" (on r/h side of table in pic) I made £79.00 profit in ticket sales for the santa which is a lot more than I could have got just selling it. In total I made £217.50 so not too bad a profit for 2 days selling. I have attatched 2 pictures, but sorry about the quality as they were taken on my phone.

Keefie  I did a conversion to US and that would be about 350 USD  Takd the money and run!   You have some nice looking stuff there.  Hope I can do as well in a couple of weeks.

VERY  nice things.  It's a wonder anything is left.  I think raffles are illegal in the the States without a permit number.  At least it is that way in North Dakota. But I sure would have bought a few tickets on your Santa.

Nice job!  It's always good to sell a few things.  Whenever I sell something it gives me money to buy some more material to make more things!  It's a vicious cycle!

Good Job!

I was impressed with the easel in your first picture, Keefie.  That looks like a really nice way to display portraits.  Is that something you made?

Yes Coffeepot, it was knocked up from 2x1 scraps with a few nails spaced out to take the pictures, I thought it looked better than trying to get another table crammed full of portraits and not being able to see them.

Hi my Friend....  Wow! is all I can think to say at first view.  Your area is set up very handsome.  Luv the stand you built for your portraits.  I think I will borrow your design for my next show.  Great idea on the Raffle....  Did you do good selling the ornaments?
