My Mom makes those scrubbies. The cost of the nylon net has gotten so high, that she barely breaks even at $1. Also for those who haven't tried it yet--the nylon is very hard on your hands.

I agree with Tartan. I ONLY buy the items that I don't want to make or don't have the time or don't have the talent to make.

Had an aunt that watered hers with tea water...a little from her cuppa....grew like crazy.....all my inside plants are silk! Outside..I buy perennials, and Mother Nature takes over, I just keep weeds out!

As far as buying a craft fairs...if it something really unusual ( and I cannot copy) and reasonable I may buy it......but like mentioned, many things lately are manufactured and brought in, or just mass produced stuff...not interested at craft fair prices

You are asking a crowd that can make their own items and probably do not buy handmade things because we make our own. People who do not craft or sew are willing to pay more money for handcrafted items. I am always shocked at how much money non-crafters are willing to pay.

I'm a looker, not a spender. I love to look for new ideas. If I do purchase something, it will usually be a plant or food item like local honey.

I was going to say the same thing dottie! Really hard on the hands, and worth far more than a buck
They also make good cutting mat scrubbers, I have two in my quilt room.

I don't go to craft shows--the "cute" factor is usually too high for me.

I don't go often, but when I do, I buy dish towels that have knit/crochet tops (you can hang the towel on your fridge or stove). I try not to pay more than $3.50 each.
