Seasonal items seemed to be moving at the craft fair I went to last week. Saw several Thanksgiving Table runners -- one lady had matching sets - Small wall hanging, table runner, and 4 placemats -- they were simple designs, but her fabrics were really beautiful .. more with a modern twist - not cutesy and not too traditional

The easy fabric boxes would be good, but please show several samples with something in it (large dog bones for pets, biscotti for humans, etc) - people need good visuals and they will buy them for Christmas gifts and put their own stuff in them.

Try the little mice with cat nip. I made some out of a scrap of gray sweatshirt fabric and used a leather thong for the tails. A lady bought one and then came back the next day and bought all I had left. Said her cat played with the mouse all night and kept her awake.

Make items that cat and dog owners would like to buy. Homemade doggie cookies are usually good sellers. Fancy collars and matching leashes, dog sweaters/coats for small dogs, dog quilts, mats to put under the dog dishes, mats for the bottom of dog crates, etc.

In our area seasonal potholders and kitchen towels do really well. Place mats and napkins do not for some reason. How about seasonal aprons for mom and daughter? I did well with little wall hangings made from panels I cut apart. Mine were about 12 X 16 and were for Halloween, but you could find Thanksgiving or Christmas panels too. Each panel made four wall hangings. Good luck. It's hard to predict best sellers and especially to price them. People want a real bargain without realizing the time and materials expense.

If I had a crystal ball I could tell you what sells at craft fairs, but since I don't, I might suggest little bags of cat nip, maybe coats for dogs, etc. I think small items might sell better, but maybe things geared towards pets.

laynak where do you get the squeakers to put in the toys. My dogs go through toys like crazy to break the squeaker then they are board with them. lol

I have a lot of luck with Microwave Baked Potato Bags. Fast and fun to make. Just Google a pattern.

Stilettos made from turkey lacers and beads and a little dab of glue! http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2012/...stilettos.html

They have some replacement squeakers on Amazon. Also, any toy that does go to the trash with an 'animal sound' squeaker still operational, I take it out of the toy and reuse it for a new toy.
