    Your stuff is beautiful! I am sorry it didn't sell and you have other possibilities out there. The upside to this is whatever you don't sell...you have lots of ready-made gifts!! Think Christmas..you may not have to shop at all!! LOL

    Don't be too discouraged. You keep them for next year and by then people will start to buy. Sometimes, and I've found this with craft shows I do, that the 1st show, people just look. The 2nd, they are getting ready to buy, and by the 3rd time they see it, they're buying. You did great work - those pin cushions are sew pretty!

    People don't want to pay what things are worth now days. If they don't sew or quilt they have no concept of what it cost to make all that stuff. Wow you were a busy beaver. Hope you can sell your things at other places.

    Everything is lovely. Sorry you didn't sell much. It happens to all of us. Years ago I had the same experience as did all the other crafters at the sale. By the end of the day we were all trading back and forth. None of us had made any money but we all went home with crafts different from those we had taken. It actually turned out to be a fun day.

    Remember, the craft fair was a flop not you! Your items are very cute and well made. Keep up the good work and you will succeed.

    Your fair items are so pretty. Don;t get discouraged because not much sold, Christmas is coming, spend $10 on a church bazaar table and watch your handiwork disappear in a heartbeat. I love your pincushions...I collect thimbles but recently my sister asked "do you collect pincushions, too?" I didn't intentionally collect them, I just ended up with lots of them! Nice work, thanks for sharing your talent and skills in pictures with all of us.
