...at my recent craft show event.
I set up this past recent Labor Day weekend in a little town known for a large tourist presence and saw lots of customers-though due to the heat (100 degrees) and virus fears, not as well attended as in past events. It's always a mystery as to what will sell. Some projects you think are terrific get little attention and something you thought insignificant will go immediately. All titles are how they are found in free catalogue should you want to see what they are.
Anticipating upcoming holiday of Halloween, I turned out several of those themed events-the Pumpkin Lights and Halloween Ghost Tea Light Holder. No takers. Only one of the Halloween Boos sold (ghost with "I'm just here for the boos").
Also on display were a few Christmas items: Reindeer Sleigh, Winter Christmas Scene and Christmas Box, but no one appeared ready to buy for Christmas.
Probably biggest sellers were spiritual designs-Five Religious Word Art patterns (have custom order to make 4 more) , Jesus Loves Me plaque, The Lord is My Strength, All the Glory to God Cross, and Layered Cross Plaque.
Had 20 Switch Plate Toppers and sold 6.
Butterfly Tray Puzzle was a hit, and I should have made more-note to self-puzzles are always popular.
Dog Hair Sign, Race Car Tray, Fish Come in 3 Sizes, Cowboy Welcome Sign, Countertop Wine Rack, Silly Signs (have order for more) were winners but my baskets-Stacked Ring Basket and Basket with Ribbon were not.
As you see, I like to make a variety of things, usually just one or two of each to see what is popular, and granted, price and skill level are factors, I'm sure, but I was happy that about half of my inventory went so I can go make some more!
Anybody else have a report?
