Bazaar 411

Well, I did it.  It's over!  I shared this TINY booth with a friend of mine, Melanie.  We had no idea how small it would be with all our stuff in it!  We set up the day before and we had no room for anything!

Crowded much?  

My pouch display.

Table runners/toppers/coasters/placemats/baskets/baby items


The day-of we did more rearranging, but basically, we had to stand outside our booth so that other people could go in and browse.  

I think the tight space hindered our sales because people passing by would see how crowded it was and just keep walking.  Boo!  I did sell two quilts, the Prince Charming/Puddle Jumper one and the Rainbow charm square one with the Noah's Ark print on the back.


My and my craft apron all ready to go!  Please excuse my fly-away hair!  I couldn't even hang the banner I made because we didn't have room (and weren't allowed to use the wall for our signs)

While I did sell a good amount, I have tons left!  If any of my blog readers are interested in anything, please comment or email and let me know.  I'll cut you guys a deal since it will save me from having to list so much on etsy!  If you want close up pictures of anything, most items I made for the bazaar can be found here.

  3. Got any good diaper clutch type pouches? That would fit some wipes and diapers?

    And I'm trying to decide if Scarlet needs that Ruby quilt. ;)

  5. You can just set aside a boxy pouch for my month of the bee! :) And you must be set for Christmas.

    I have noticed at craft fairs (and stores) that less is more because it's easier for customers to see what there is.

  6. Hi Kelly
    Glad to hear it went so well for you babe!
    I would love to help you out too. My Christmas sewing list is endless. Do you still have the family table runner left? I'd definitely be interested in that. And what tote bags & box pouches do you have left?

  10. Sorry it wasn't a sell out, and that your space was so small. I remember getting my first stall at a teddy bear fair and staring at this tiny table while thinking WTH?! Hope you get an online sell out :o)
