I know everyone is not the same and although I'm doing a fair next week with a friend I have NO expectations whatsoever. Good luck with it and report back!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-1808359041171458072013-12-06T04:56:13.803+00:002013-12-06T04:56:13.803+00:00I hope you have lots of luck with the craft fairs,...I hope you have lots of luck with the craft fairs, the notebooks are gorgeous.

My friend and I had a sewing and gossip session this afternoon and both agreed that there was no way we could sell our cross stitch as people wouldn't want to pay for the time we put in to them.<br />twiggy Twiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065849697979313992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-90601185558263420172013-12-05T23:14:54.267+00:002013-12-05T23:14:54.267+00:00They are lovely Gina, and I hope you are successfu...They are lovely Gina, and I hope you are successful at your fair xvintagerockchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771490446494303513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-63979252970464381962013-12-05T22:24:10.327+00:002013-12-05T22:24:10.327+00:00I was frantically nodding my head in agreement wit...I was frantically nodding my head in agreement with your opening paragraph and after supporting a particular craft fair for several years I eventually gave up when a handmade, fully lined zippered purse in good quality fabric was considered too much at £2.50.<br />I have not bothered for over a year now and may go back to it if the recession improves. Best of luck with your fair and I shall keep an eye on your Etsy shop, just in case you understand. I love hand made gifts, so much better than shop bought.<br />xxIndigo Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045423692916533428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-69111473675631536102013-12-05T21:00:33.104+00:002013-12-05T21:00:33.104+00:00can't imagine you'll have any problem sell...can't imagine you'll have any problem selling those gorgeous little books Gina.Carol Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764184430436142517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-87584012295346592882013-12-05T15:19:29.825+00:002013-12-05T15:19:29.825+00:00It can be soul destroying at craft stalls, but tho...It can be soul destroying at craft stalls, but those books are lovely - at this time of year they should walk away.<br />pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434169681967783276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-34807117006261500162013-12-05T14:27:11.695+00:002013-12-05T14:27:11.695+00:00Beautiful little books.

I never did work out how one stallholder managed to sell all her wares. I imagine she bought everything in cheaply and just marked it all up to make a profit for herself. I used to try to keep my prices down which didn't seem to help. I sold four pictures at one fare just after increasing the price!<br />Love the little notebooks - great stocking fillers.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-2986113890583071182013-12-05T13:24:36.255+00:002013-12-05T13:24:36.255+00:00I find there are very few craft sales here that se...I find there are very few craft sales here that sell good quality crafts. I'd rather spend the money & get something well-made. I've never sold anything at them myself (although my sister, who does, used to pester me to add to her table). She used to join a group that was very arts oriented and they rented an old Victorian house for their Christmas sales. It was wonderful to walk room to room and see all kinds of beautiful pottery, hand knits, carvings ... you name it! All the rooms were so cozy & well decorated too. I miss that, and have yet to find one to match it. I think your little notebooks are perfect! That's just the thing to keep all your Christmas lists together (I'm big on lists).

Having said that I'm doing one this evening! !! ;)<br />It's a church one (more draughts) but the beauty of this one is they organise it as a community event and the craft fair is an attraction so they don't charge for the tables. It's the only one I do now as I have given up paying to stand in draughts to be tutted at or informed that "they could make it themselves" after having almost dissected the item!!<br />Your little books are lovely....good luck with you fairs!<br />V xxxgreenrabbitdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562034074399686544noreply@blogger.com
