Well, my first craft faire has come and gone! I had so much fun preparing for it and was a little nervous, wondering how people would respond to my stuff. Everything went pretty well though, and I learned a lot from watching what people did and didn't buy.
It was hard deciding how much to charge for the goods, and about halfway through the faire I even changed the price of one of the items. The gift tags were most popular, I think partly because they were the least expensive.
I also had some Christmas-y and non-Christmas-y blank cards and little gift enclosures with matching envelopes.
Figuring out how to package everything was just as fun as making the cards and tags.
I was itching to do some patterns after being inspired by the Japanese pattern book, so made just a few saddle-stitched notebooks too.
I can't believe how much fun all of this was! Much thanks to my wonderful hubby and friends who came by to visit and to man the booth while I went to the bathroom. Haha. One brought me lunch, another a Peet's vanilla latte, and a third milk tea from my favorite place! Boy was I wired in the afternoon.
