Well, to say the least, I was a little disappointed in the weekends craft show. I had such high hopes but they put me across from a couple who were selling commercialized ornaments and wall signs. They had such a crowd that the whole aisle was block with people looking and people trying to check out. They had their cash register up front and I know I counted 12 in line to check out for at least a half hr. It was just a steady run for them all weekend. Their customers had the aisle so blocked people were turning around and going a different way. No one looked my way passing by unless they were looking for me. They would even stand back to look over there and block the front of my displays!
Around Saturday afternoon, another vendor came by and asked how I was doing. She was two stalls down from me and said all of us around were doing badly because of our couple. She said a lot of people had already complained about him and that I should too. I am not a complainer. The point had already been made and I am sure the promoters didn't need to hear it again.
I did manage to make as much as I did last year at this time. Plus I have a few orders to get finished. I guess I was just spoiled after the first year. So far I haven't had a show top it. C and I have discussed branching out a little more and doing some shows a little farther away.
C took our Santa hats to work today. I will let you know how they do there! I had a lady look at them Sunday and asked me if I did this for a living. I told her if I had to rely on this to pay the bills, I'd be out in the street! lol!
