Redford Craft Show

So i did a craft show alone today at the Redford Marquee on 5mile and beech (roughly) and it went surprisingly well!! Last time me & banshee were there we barely covered the cost of the space. This time i covered it AND made a couple extra bucks! (and i got a super cute pink crown for my niece)

lots of interest in the chainmaille. People picked them up and looked. I definitely need to price them individually with tags (which i need to stock up on) and need to make some duplicates of certain pieces.

and TONS of interest in the bottlecaps. That's all i sold today pretty much. People gave me ideas on what I should add to the collection. Lots of people took cards. And I even got 2 custom orders!!! (which i'll work on tomorrow).

AND one lady who is a newly certified art teacher wants to get with me to do a workshop or something. We're gonna iron out details.

So even tho i went in not expecting anything, it was a good day for me. Boosted my confidence. Made me feel like I was doing something (not just being a lazy bum) and got me out of the house on a gorgeous day.

on a side note, my friend H got a table and didn't do so hot, but she got lots of feedback. It was her first show, so i didn't expect she was gonna sell much, but now people have seen her and she got her product looked at, so next time people will prolly actually be looking for her.
