Thanks Country1, wish we lived closer, it would be fun to meet. One thing I regretted was not going around and meeting other vendors. We did enjoy the two vendors on either side of us. The young gal next to us was making a killing on the old window panes and frames which she had stenciled on with sayings. She almost sold out. A lot less labor and great sales.

She had 6' planks of wood with growth markers running up one side and then the saying of watch me grow. It was about 6' tall 8-10" wide by 2" for $40. She sold all but one and people were carrying these planks throughout the bazaar. You could easily track them by their height.

I love your DH's baskets. It looks like you had a lot of fun stuff.

A friend and I did a craft bazaar - oh 10 years ago now - and didn't sell much, but had a really good time. I think if you offer a product that's unique and priced right (ie, you can't put a price on your time!!) you have a better chance of selling. You'll still get lots of looky-lous, but people can't buy everything they see. I'm glad you had fun - your stuff looks great!

There's a lot of talent at your house! Good to hear it was an enjoyable day/experience. Meeting all the people is fun!
