I've had a good laugh about it, and realised that my first fair was better than I thought! <br /><br />Carmen - I have goblets left to turn into candles, so will keep you in mind. ;-D<br /><br />Annie - the Northampton Bazaar sounds fabulous. I'll have a look at that one. I'm the right side of Birmingham (should such a thing exist), and it sounds intriguing.oneoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498303914840868532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636987458317195444.post-43352338744751671382011-02-20T15:24:27.354+00:002011-02-20T15:24:27.354+00:00Crafters often have this problem, you will find bl...Crafters often have this problem, you will find blog after blog not selling anything! I think people are very tight when it comes to handmade :-( <br /><br />Im not sure where you live, but my daughter and I travel from warwickshire to northampton Bicycle Basket Baazzar once a month - it is a vintage and handmade fair which attracts lots of alternative types!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000027853260104521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636987458317195444.post-32726201583089481762011-02-19T09:17:31.853+00:002011-02-19T09:17:31.853+00:00It has happened to me too.

Your stuff is lovely.<br />I think it just depends what people have in their minds before they arrive. <br /><br />My friend and I have noticed...they always go for the food. If only your stuff was edible, you would have sold everything...now, there is an idea....edible notebooks and edible candles!!<br />Sue xxZuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13719392076328462619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636987458317195444.post-74434503510769311202011-02-18T08:25:53.337+00:002011-02-18T08:25:53.337+00:00Oh gawd if it's anything like the school fairs...Oh gawd if it's anything like the school fairs round here then Angie is right, more of a stand back or be trampled affair. <br /><br />Even so, am surprised you didn't sell anything. I would have had a goblet candle straight away. If you still are doing them nearer Christmas you can definitely put me down for one for my sis... and I may even treat myself too!<br /><br />Am watching your fair adventures with interest for when I get up the guts to do one myself :PCarmen https://www.blogger.com/profile/07968725221313800020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636987458317195444.post-21865347715934212702011-02-16T01:37:47.147+00:002011-02-16T01:37:47.147+00:00What lovely things ..such a shame that they didn&#...What lovely things ..such a shame that they didn't sell. A craft fair is probably best as school ones attract those after a bargain.... and cakes. You might have sold more closer to Xmas....but even then it is hard to guage peoples reactions to crafts. I did one about 10 years ago at xmas, when DD and I were into making jewlery. We had a stall heaving with bits ...all very cheap as we only really charged cost + a nudge ... all mounted on cards or sitting in boxes and only managed to sell about 20 pieces. The day was long and the hall was busy....we went home tired and frustrated ...never did one again.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177505346903016669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636987458317195444.post-70629799061710707712011-02-16T01:23:01.959+00:002011-02-16T01:23:01.959+00:00Very lovely indeed of her, and sorry all that ener...Very lovely indeed of her, and sorry all that energy wasted a learning curve indeed, we all need them at times, but they do seem hard!<br />Shaz in oz.xShazInOzCardsCalligraphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246279405851387500noreply@blogger.com
