Craft shows

[lilk]

Has anyone ever had a booth at a craft show, or craft fair? I have often though about having a booth. We have quite a few shows in our area. If so, what did you sell? If you don't mind sharing.

I have also thought about doing this too. My grandmother (she's 83) does several craft shows a year, she has a creamic business and she really likes them. I have done quite a few with her, they are a lot of work, but really fun!!!

I think I would probably do some pretty basic things (qulits, bibs, doll clothes) and maybe a just a few other odds and ends things (like the liquid dish bottle apron or a purse or two). Those are just a few ideas that I would do.

If I lived closer to my grandmother, I would probably do a booth at a show or two!!

I did it for a year and it was really fun. I've been thinking about getting back to it. I did a variety of things. I made handpainted woodcrafts (which were big and I didn't have a lot of room to store), they were mainly outdoor items that you would put on your porch or stake into your yard. I also did handpainted household items and some sewed items (placemats & napkins).

My best sellers were the handpainted snowmen items for the house. I did candle jars and anything "odd" that I found at garage sales and auctions, old sleds, etc. All my snowmen "matched", so people loved the fact that they could deck out a whole room with matching snowmen!
