Unfortunately, I wasn't able to actually attend the first craft show since it fell on the same date as a conference I was required to attend for work. Since I was splitting the table with my mother-in-law she was gracious enough to sell my items for me. I sold only a few things and wouldn't have been able to cover the cost of the table by myself. To my surprise the photo explosion boxes were a top seller. I had attempted to sell these on Etsy a couple of years ago with no luck so I didn't have high hopes for them at the craft fair. The magnets were also a big seller but that wasn't a surprise since they were a low cost item.
For the second craft fair my friend, Beth, was able to join me and brought cards and post-it-note holders to sell. It was extra fun to have her there since she brought her adorable two week old baby with her. My mother-in-law also split the table with us. For this show I made a few more explosion boxes and some large magnets. The explosion boxes sold out! I did a lot better at this show but again not enough to get rich.
Check out the picture of our table. I used dollar store wrapping paper and covered some empty boxes in order to create height and more space to display the stuff.
I would definately like to try another craft show as long as the cost for a table isn't too much. It's not a good way to make a lot of money but it is enjoyable and provides an outlet for creativity.
