Well, everyone. the "show" turned out to be a great big junky flea market. (sighs.)

Mom and I each sold one bag.

Huggyface, you're right. If you ask more than $20 for it, you take them back home. It was clear from people's reaction to the $35 price, it wasn't worth it to them.

And, of course, they're carrying cheap knock off Vera Bradley bags they get for $10 at K-Mart of Wal-Mart.

Unfortunately, it costs every bit of $20 to make them.

But, some people recognize value when they see it and pay.

And if you live in a depressed area, then those folks can't afford to pay more for an item. Designer products are luxury items. (Vera Bradley) Our bags are made to be middle of the road, unique, fanicful well made totes at a reasonable price, not a luxury price.

At any rate, we've had much better luck selling them at craft shows. From now on, we're only going to craft shows we know.
