It was all about the give-aways. I told you I was helping my friend Terry with her Stampin Up booth and she had way more then 100 people ask for the free item, a few people said "Hey I lost my Sheet can I have the free thing anyway" can you believe that?? Gee's!! I love your stuff... and I am so HAPPY with my Pumpkin head doll... I really want the witch with the Medicine bottle around her neck (so if you still have her I will mail you a check or we can do lunch or something one day)... "Any Who" I did have a lot of fun at the show, I won a door prize, I met you!, I bought my pumpkin doll, I bought some jewelry, and 2 new purses... OH Yeah... Plus!! the things you gave me...

Your crafts are beyond beautiful and I can't believe you didn't sell any of your candle mats!! I've done fairs like that, too, and it's such a disappointment. I didn't sign up for any this year because I'm newly pregnant and don't want to do too much lifting. If you have a lot of sales all the time and effort are worth it but when you have to pretty much pack up the same stuff that you unpacked that's terrible. Take a break, like you said. There's always Etsy, too. I think that would be great for you!! I don't know if you have a shop already but,if not, you should look into it. God bless. :)<br /><br />~ Wendy<br />http://Crickleberrycottage.blogspot.com/Wendy McDonagh-Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960081613348728607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841679284012330328.post-7597776711868077062009-10-10T14:28:34.010-07:002009-10-10T14:28:34.010-07:00Your booth looks fabulous!!!

But owning a shop...business is waaaayyy down everywhere, so don't feel too bad. If your thinking of ways to get rid of some things, maybe try to contact other store owners in your area and offer them wholesale?<br />Snuggle in a blankie, eat some comfort food and watch alot of chick ficks, you'll feel better in no time. PS, from what we heard of customers, they are saving penny's for Chirstmas due to economy.<br />Hugs,<br />AnneAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667723726417342021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841679284012330328.post-37994820370641696962009-10-09T18:03:27.794-07:002009-10-09T18:03:27.794-07:00Gina, everything looks wonderful and I'm sorry...Gina, everything looks wonderful and I'm sorry for the lack of sales, but I think too the economy plays a big part. With so many out of work folks just aren't able to buy like they used to. I'm sure it will pick up for the holidays, and you have all that stuff made up ahead of time, you can enjoy yourself while others are cramming:)Carmen S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13456401188562193384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841679284012330328.post-51663233165280368182009-10-09T18:01:11.531-07:002009-10-09T18:01:11.531-07:00Hey Gina..

They like to look but are thinking do I really need that? It's a shame that more folks aren't buying, even if it's a little something to show support... after all they are getting good quality, hand made in the USA goods. I have heard that many shows are down both in attendance and vendors this year. My last show I even had someone want to dicker with me to take a lower price on an item, can you imagine that! I am hoping that the holiday shows will be better. Try to focus on what's ahead and not behind.. your already well stocked for your next show and that will give you more free time to enjoy the holidays. <br />Keep smiling! <br />Hugs,<br />DebDeb @ Crows on the Cupolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800037113840714356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841679284012330328.post-65120917985563194202009-10-09T14:33:14.022-07:002009-10-09T14:33:14.022-07:00That's such a shame, so sorry to hear that, al...That's such a shame, so sorry to hear that, all the trouble you went through.

Your crafts are wonderful and I love your displays. That is why I got out of the shows and sales several years ago.

When the lookers started outnumbering the buyers by 25 to 1.....I stopped going to shows and sales.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359036658575961464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841679284012330328.post-20289523020910422582009-10-09T12:30:54.745-07:002009-10-09T12:30:54.745-07:00Ohh, Gina ~
