Are the contributions tax-deductible for the purchaser? If yes, you can charge a little more for things (think PBS and their fundraising).

think about what an upscale boutique in your neighborhood would charge for this, and price it similarly. You may also want to put a sign in the booth "made by local fiber artist Your Name" to help justify the non-thrift store price for the items.
It would not be a tax deductible contribution. When you receive something of value in return it's not a contribution.

I price table runners in between $30 & $40 dollars unless they're smaller than usual or made with batiks.
