It's a tough life for a hand crafter...

November 28th, 2009 at 11:13 pm

I haven't been a vendor in a craft show for at least 10 years. This year I decided to do one Christmas event because I have the time and I really enjoy the shows. WOW, have things changed! My sales didn't even cover my table cost. Only 30 people showed up. And usually other vendors buy my product or we trade. This year the vendors weren't even buying because they were not able to sell anything. Only one vendor covered the cost of their booth. The vendor beside me mentioned that she went to a show two weeks ago to sell and only 6 people showed up. But I still had a great time - so many nice and talented people. So I have 71 home made angels with crystals and healing stones left if anyone wants one!

    I haven't, but if I had any kind of crafty talent, I probably would.
