Getting ready for next craft season
/by Helen EdwardsI have certainly not been idle since the last sale. I am now making boot toppers in single colours or two-colour reversible styles. Also added to my inventory are grumpy bum pants that I first made for my latest grandson. Basic styles come in pink, green or blue background, but custom colours are available.
Out of Hand Craft Fair a great success
/by Helen EdwardsWhat a weekend! It was my first time at the Out of Hand Fair and it was a great experience. I had a small Etsy Boutique booth – 8 feet x 4 feet -but it was large enough to showcase my slippers and headbands. I sold a few pairs of slippers – enough to justify transporting them there – but the headbands were again the best seller. I sold almost 50 of them and was frantically making more as I sat there.
My daughter posted to Facebook and drew more customers to the fair and to Etsy. As a result, I sold more headbands online.
Next week is the final sale of the season for me. I will be at A Touch of Saltspring on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is usually a great sale so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Second Sale a Success
/by Helen EdwardsMy second sale of the season was Calico Christmas, held at Pacific Christian School. It was great to renew acquaintances with old customers and to meet new shoppers. The headbands seem to the “thing” this year as they were literally selling themselves. I am working this week on adding to my inventory so that I will have enough for the last three sales this year.
