It’s hard to believe that after all the months of crafting like crazy that another show season has come and gone…and I happy to say that my last show of the year was great.
Here are some pics of what the booth looked like on Friday morning when the show started.
The window display…
The mixed media/junk style jewelry display…
The wall display with some of the prim collectibles…
The rest of the prim things were on the 5 tier shelf unit in the front of the booth and by the end of the show…there was only a few things left on 2 of the shelves. So there was not much left in the booth to pack up at the end of the show. Sold all of the mice in the Santa hats…sold all but 2 of the Christmas tree mice…sold all the snowmen but 2 of them…and sold out of the prim towels. Everyone loved the new jewelry that I made this year and several pieces sold. My sales were the highest that I’ve had in about 6 years. It was such a nice surprise to end the show season this way.
I’ll share what I purchased at the show in my next post. I wanted to take some pictures this morning of some of my favorite booths, but didn’t have time because we were almost late for the show. Our youngest daughter called us while we were on our way to the show and she was on her way to work…she had a flat tire. So we turned around to go help her…I took her on to work, while hubby put the little spare tire on to get her car back home. After dropping her off, I came back home to pick up hubby…then we picked up my sister, so she could go to the show with us. We were almost to the show…like a few minutes away and we saw a lady make a turn in her car…right into coming traffic. Luckily…no one was seriously injured and we finally made it to the show with a few minutes to spare before they opened the doors to the public.
Until next time……. blessings, Cindy

Cindy, so glad to hear your show was a success. Does a heart good after putting all those hours and work into the items to sell. I am not surprised that your Santa hats with the mice and the towels sold out. Loved the trees also. Enjoy your Monday and give yourself time to rest.

Oh, good Cindy that’s GREAT news about your show. I’m so happy to hear that it was your best show in 6 yrs. Your booth looked great! I think things are picking up again. Now you can relax and enjoy the rest of the holiday season. I’m still catching up after my last show. I’ve been busy with my Etsy shop and I am setting up another Etsy show for vintage too. Take care, hugs.

Cheers,

I’m so glad the show went well! It’s great that people are buying hand made things for their gifts this year! It makes me proud of you and of all of the ladies that work so hard to create beautiful things! Enjoy your week! ♥
