    Mom and I are going to take our collection of tote/hand bags to a craft show Saturday.

    We've got so many, it's ridiculous.

    :-o

    They're all gorgeous, but I especially like the blue one. What are you going to be charging for them? (if that's offensive please disregard....) Hi there, I see the info on the asking prices....Did you design this bag yourself?

    Oh good luck!! I hope you come home with pockets bursting with cash! I love the bottom one in the first group of photos. They are all just awesome--and it's easy to they are well made. May I ask what they sell for? Are they harder than quilts? :D

    I'll be doing my first craft show in November. Hope I can get enough stuff ready.

    Some more. We don't charge anywhere near enough ...

    I get $40 for mine, but my mom only charges $35 for hers. :? I keep nagging her about it. Some lady came up to our table at another show carrying the same purse and she makes them and told us she gets $65 for hers.

    Yeah, well ... some people have all the luck. I'd never charge that. I just wouldn't. It doesn't cost us anywhere near that to make them. I'm not a good business woman, I suppose ...

    Good Luck Cordelia! They are all beautiful, I don't think you'll have any trouble selling them.
    It doesn't cost us anywhere near that to make them.
    Don't forget you need to pay yourself for all your labor too, not just reimburse yourself for the materials. :wink:
