Default 1st Bazaar Experience!

DH and I worked our very first bazaar this weekend. We had a blast!
We have talked about doing it for several years now but other things have always gotten in the way. DH sold lots of his segmented wood bowls and bandboxes, was invited to join a local wood turners group and made lots of new friends.

I sold several items and several customers gave orders for some custom work. I especially enjoyed the father and his two sons giving a special request for their wife/mother with colors and patterns they would like to have. Another mother requested that I teach her how to use her newly acquired rotary cutter. I am flexible and thought that would be lots of fun.

The first 2 hours nothing moved. Then, a young man, about 8, asked to buy one of my candy canes with his money in hand. So, I sold it to him for 25 cents. Then, things started to move.

We learned a ton of things... #1... start in January! All in all it was an enjoyable experience and we decided we will do it again.
