Holiday Craft Fair
A college friend at church asked if I would want to be a vendor at a local
craft fair this year. I was skeptical for a variety of reasons:
- Never really planned to make creating signs a business
- Didn’t want to make a bunch and sell nothing
- It would cost to be a vendor
- Life is crazy busy
After a few weeks of thinking about it, I opted to give it a try and decided
if I sold nothing I would still have a sweet time of fellowship with our college
girl.
Thus began 3 weeks of making several different signs. My garage looked like a
pallet farm with signs everywhere.
free standing I opted to create some kind of display that would bring in some
depth and height. It ended up looking like a mini stair case, and it worked
great!! Here is my display…
I had so much stuff. Way more than I thought I had created, but it went so
well. By 11:30 I had sold $1 and was pretty bummed. But, by noon I had sold over
half of my inventory and taken 3 orders.It was a fun day and I am excited to do it again next year. I got 12 orders
since from customers at the craft fair, and I have 2 more to finish this week!
So, sometimes taking a step out of one’s comfort zone is the best thing to
do!
