Tomorrow is the day, the craft fair. I have not participated in a craft fair in years and to be honest I have never really done very well when I have. The last time I sold these beautiful clocks that I made using chip board and scrapbook paper. They were really pretty, and elegant. A lot of Anna Griffin Paper and soft colors... if you know me at all you know I am pretty much about soft and simple things. Anyway, I set up my table and it looked so pretty. People all day long would pass by and tell me how beautiful my clocks were. One person told me that I did not belong in a craft fair but should be in an art show. That was quite a compliment but that person didn't even buy one of my 12.00 clocks. So I am bit scared.
Why am I doing this...well... someone contacted me through my ETSY store and asked me to join the event, they thought my work would fit well and I could also represent Memory Works. So I said yes thinking it was so far away, perhaps they would forget about me or I about them. Well, neither of us forgot so tomorrow I am going to set up my table and displays and give it another shot. I am not going in with high expectations, not that my work is not worthy or nice but as I said...I'm a bit scared. I will bring a book to read and wonder around to other booths and talk to "my people". I love crafters so!
Wish me luck, my Lovelies!
Well an update... I didn't do very bad at all at the craft fair. Had lots of support from friends and family. Here are some pictures of my space.

You will do fine. Everything happens for a reason and there is a reason you were invited, maybe to make sales, maybe to learn, maybe to meet new friends.
You enjoy what you do and are good at it. I wish you all the best at the fair.
Do tell us how it goes. WE LIVE AND LEARN.
I love to make cards too and I have been inspired and mostly intimidated by everyone out there.
All the best at the fair. I would by one of your works in a heartbeat if I every came across your table.
