I have to say I love they way you set your stalls out! I'm currently getting back into sewing again and am thinking about doing a craft fair or two later in the year when I've built up lots of things to sell. Keep up the good work!

I am tinkering with the idea of doing some craft fairs over the summer. I would love some 'up close and personal' feedback, which I sorely miss over the web. I hope to do so soon,thank you for sharing your experiences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830839072675368385.post-88038625917634285312011-05-17T23:22:14.797+01:002011-05-17T23:22:14.797+01:00It's interesting that it's so hit and miss...It's interesting that it's so hit and miss for others as well as me ... I've been doing fairs for about a year now, and there seems to be no way of predicting how I'll do. I remember one fair I went to I sold a lot to other stallholders, but nothing to the people visiting the fair! I wondered if established fairs were more reliable for sales than smaller one-offs, but your experiences suggest that's not the case. Not that it'll stop me! I enjoy the whole experience too much :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830839072675368385.post-82147376544262889752011-05-17T22:09:26.673+01:002011-05-17T22:09:26.673+01:00Thanks for all the comments!

I look at yours and know I would make a beline for it from the other side of the room, I thing that's a good sign :) Its good to hear that they can be hit and miss too, it must be tempting just to give up if your first one is rubbish. If I do do ever do one I will keep this in mind.<br />Kandi xKandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765946096687063480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830839072675368385.post-65904473990196152212011-05-16T23:43:06.276+01:002011-05-16T23:43:06.276+01:00Invisible squirrel I'm glad you agree!

It is lovely looking at other people's stalls, and finding new ways to display items. One of my products is cotton bags - and no matter how hard try I can't find a way to display these!!<br /><br />Sam xSconchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720336419515139682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830839072675368385.post-83485685974151912502011-05-16T17:56:24.329+01:002011-05-16T17:56:24.329+01:00Im a newbie to the world of selling on stalls too ...Im a newbie to the world of selling on stalls too & if mine looks half as good as yours I will be happy.
