Mom and I are going to take our collection of tote/hand bags to a craft show Saturday.

We've got so many, it's ridiculous.

:-o

They're all gorgeous, but I especially like the blue one. What are you going to be charging for them? (if that's offensive please disregard....) Hi there, I see the info on the asking prices....Did you design this bag yourself?

Oh good luck!! I hope you come home with pockets bursting with cash! I love the bottom one in the first group of photos. They are all just awesome--and it's easy to they are well made. May I ask what they sell for? Are they harder than quilts? :D

I'll be doing my first craft show in November. Hope I can get enough stuff ready.

Some more. We don't charge anywhere near enough ...

I get $40 for mine, but my mom only charges $35 for hers. :? I keep nagging her about it. Some lady came up to our table at another show carrying the same purse and she makes them and told us she gets $65 for hers.

Yeah, well ... some people have all the luck. I'd never charge that. I just wouldn't. It doesn't cost us anywhere near that to make them. I'm not a good business woman, I suppose ...

Good Luck Cordelia! They are all beautiful, I don't think you'll have any trouble selling them.

Don't forget you need to pay yourself for all your labor too, not just reimburse yourself for the materials. :wink:
