I aimed for a red, white and blue theme including some jubilee union jack bunting on the gazebo.
Best-sellers of the day for me were candles, vintage fabric, brooches, vintage knitting patterns and bric-a-brac. Unfortunately my tea cosy, mug warmers, pincushion and bunny didn't sell...

Some of Stacy's lovely bags (right of photo) and she had lots of cross-stitched badges and cards that will shortly be for sale at Vintage Rose in Selby, North Yorkshire http://www.vintageroseselby.co.uk/
It's a shame the warm sun didn't show it's face but thankfully it didn't rain!
so glad you had a lovely day. Your stall looks great and a leisurely flask & brownie before opening - so organised, I'd have still been flapping about so I'm very impressed!

Good work! I am glad for the sales you made and hope your other lovely wares will soon sell. A friend and I set up a table at several craft fairs last fall in the Portland Oregon area. It was my first time and even though I sold very little I had a good time. Isn't it amazing to see all the creativity?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stall photos! Thanks for sharing. I do like your idea of whipping out the flask & brownies before the show began! :-)

Hi Sally, I think you're very organised and your stall looks brilliant, I love your friends coffee sack items.
ReplyDeleteHey it's interesting what you found sold and what didn't, I'm taking that onboard for my craft fair in 2 weeks. I've had similar experience before where some of my 'makes' just didn't sell yet the fabric & raw materials where what people wanted to make their own.
Some great things in your pop up shop.

Glad you had a good day, the stall looks fabulous. I've heard stall holders mention that things that didn't sell at one fair did really well at another, so you'll probably find the same.
ReplyDeleteYour stall looks lovely!
