The Good: I got to spend some quality time with my mom at the show and both my parents, brother and niece after the show at the circus that ensued at our house.
The Bad: We didn't have as great a crowd as we expected and therefore did not have as high of sales as we anticipated. It was actually REALLY slow. But we had a few customers who were really fun, appreciative of our work, and great to meet!
The Good: We learned a LOT from fellow vendors- everything from booth setup, to staying motivated, to earning customers. One of our favorite new vendors, doing fused glass jewelry was called 'One Peace at a Time'- I will find her card and add her info here- I'm blanking at the moment!
The Bad: We could not shop much at other vendors since we did not earn much.
The Good: We have excess inventory to bring to our etsy shop and Dabble, the gift shop selling on consignment for us. And, we really really like the new line we've created with fused silver pendants, so we really really think they'll do well in the shops.
The Bad: We have no way of knowing this for sure.
The Good: We're planning our next show for late July, hopefully at one of the lakes area 'art in the park'- likely Pelican Rapids or Detroit Lakes. Beyond that we're not sure, possibly a holiday show and focusing on our etsy and consignment shops.
The Bad: We are way behind and most of the good shows' deadlines for application have past. We learn and we learn...
The Best: Doing something we love to do, making new friends, and being creative.
A great attitude! I like the fused pendants..bet they will sell well!
