I did another show the first week of August. It was the hottest day so far this year. It was also humid so it made it almost unbearable. Not a lot of people shopping; most of the people were on the beach. Another thing I learned… no more August craft shows. I’ll be looking for one in the fall and one closer to Christmas (inside, of course).
One thing I do find that is interesting at Craft Shows is watching people. Many people were happy that I didn’t have jewelry. I have nothing against jewelry (I have a lot of it myself) but there are a lot of booths selling jewelry.
One woman came in my booth and looked over my American Girl doll clothes. She made a comment that with a coupon, she could get the clothes for practically nothing at AC Moore. That may be true but my clothes are made in the good ole USA and don’t fall apart after many washings. I really didn’t get offended because I probably make the clothes better than I should and like to finish all the seams. It’s just me… I like to make quality items with extra details. Sometimes I think we Americans have gotten used to a lot of the junk out there.
After craft show #2, I learned even more things. Mostly I need to get sides for my tent and other props for displaying my items. Wish me luck for the next one!
