That looks like a busy show - I hope you had some good customers? <br />A first show (or first for some time) is hard - I recently did my first craft show too, and it was a very small show, with a low attendance, which made it rather difficult... lots of hard work before for relatively few sales. But it was an experience, it was practice for another time; I covered my costs, so that was okay. I enjoyed it - I hope you did too! <br />As for your work being an extension of you - I can relate to that, I think I probably share those feelings (in fact, I think all artists do!). It takes some courage to get out there and offer your work for sale - more so when it's face-to-face. Well done and I wish you many more successful Craft Fairs in the future!Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856790990852385895.post-70679273663657006372010-12-04T13:48:43.952-08:002010-12-04T13:48:43.952-08:00You are so right Susan.

The comfort level goes up when they've seen you around a bit. There are plenty of things I buy just because I "know" about them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11758526025749551046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856790990852385895.post-19322818998774470492010-12-04T10:15:04.142-08:002010-12-04T10:15:04.142-08:00Hi Lori,
Your table looks really good and enticing...Hi Lori,<br />Your table looks really good and enticing. I think sometimes people need to see original work a few times to get used to the style, no matter how good the work is. So the more shows you do do ,the more people will respond to them. Craft shows can be very visually overwhelming with all the stuff to look at:)<br /><br />The rabbit is very cute btw!joanherlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13180266334927596167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856790990852385895.post-76401510252418405062010-12-04T08:23:11.082-08:002010-12-04T08:23:11.082-08:00Your booth looks fantastic!

It does feel like you are put your "heart & soul" out for people to judge. The thing I like about these fairs is meeting artists I have only known online in person. I also try not to have high sales expectations and just think about chatting and connecting with customers. It is very exhausting, but fun to do every once and a while. P.S. your banner is super cute!Susan -https://www.blogger.com/profile/13340676857107333636noreply@blogger.com
