Does anyone do craft shows around here? Art fairs maybe? Around the Christmas season, usually starting in October, I start doing craft shows in the area, selling different things that I make - crocheted necklaces, steampunk jewelry, ink drawings, etc. I had a booth at a craft show at my church two weekends ago and tomorrow I have one at a craft show in a school about 30 miles away. I did okay at the last one, but not nearly as well as I've done in previous years...so I'm kind of nervous about tomorrow. I only work one day a week, so this is pretty much my only source of income for the holiday season. I wait all year for this and save what I make as long as I can. I have one more show that I know of after this one...hopefully anyways..their signup stuff isn't online yet...and then maybe one or two more after that. Maybe some spring shows too. But tomorrow's the big one so I really need to do well. I used to share the booth with my mom, but she's given it all to me this time. That means I get all the profit, but I have to do all the work too. I'm excited to get all the money though...but I also had to shell out the $37 for booth rental. Really though, the only bad thing about tomorrow is getting up at the asscrack of dawn to get there by 7am to set up my stuff. Oh well...there will be coffee.

tl:dr; I IS SELLIN' STUFF AT CRAFT SHOW 2MORO.

I'd like to hear anyone else's tips/tricks/stories/etc. about selling their stuff at shows and fairs!

For Sale: Lots more FOR SALE HERE and HERE!
