How to Prepare for Your First Craft Fair
I've had never sold anything homemade face-to-face like that before and I was a little nervous.
I fretted about it for weeks and in the end I chickened out and decided to go with yard sale items instead.
But since I promised a friend I would try, I brought 4
handmade items just to see how they would sell.
And here they are...
Well, to my great surprise... in 5 minutes, 3 were sold!
Before the fair even opened!
For the rest of the day I talked up my shop, handed out my cards and sold almost everything!
So all in all it was a great day!
I learned to be brave and to put myself out there!
and oh yeah...
to wear sunscreen even if you don't think you'll need it!
I am so proud of you! It does take guts...AND YOU DID IT! Good for you! You have great stuff. I'm not surprised. :)
