I think another important thing to think about when doing craft shows is your demographic. I live in an area with a lot of unemployment. Went to a large, well-attended craft show a few weeks back and nothing was selling. Like Earlylace said, usually the $15 items sell--not this year. There were table runners, potholders, etc, for under $30 and late in the day the lady said she'd only sold one tablerunner (don't know what they charge for a booth) but she said she wouldn't return; she'd been coming there for about 10 yrs. I hope things are different in your area and you do really well--good luck. Just thought I'd share my recent experience.
