Craft Shows

This week they had a craft show where I work at and they told me to bring some of my stuff in, so I did, but nothing sold. They said there wasn't that many people show up. But it did start snowing that morning and the roads where slick.

I was at another craft show in Wawasee, the same day. This was the biggest craft show that I had done, I think there were over 100 vendors there. They did bring in alot of people, but it didn't look like they were buying that much, just a lot of looking around. I hardly ever saw anyone carrying bags with them, when they came by my table.

When I walked around the show, I found someone else selling the yarn scarves that I had showed a few weeks ago in my blog. They were selling them for $13.50!!! I sell mine for $3.00-$5.00. A lady behind me had some too. I saw her the first time at the Warsaw craft show I did, that is were I first started selling the yard scarves. This time she had made some up and was selling hers for $10.00. There was another lady selling jewelry and she had some of the metal crochet necklaces for sale, she had $30.00 and $40.00 on her necklaces, I was selling the same thing for $8.00!!!

So, after reading all the price wars there you would think that I did great at the show. Well, I didn't. I made just $6.00 over my booth price. Live and learn.

Work

Well, I had my first elevation at work and she told me that she had never given anyone such a high score. The highest you can get is 23 and I scored a 22.

Kids

Dylan's birthday is today! My baby boy is 17 years old!!! He started working at McDonald's a few weeks ago and seems to like it, but came home one night and said "life sinks, when you have to work". Ahhh, my baby boy is growing up.

Etsy
