So Sat. we had a Holiday Craft Fair for a good cause CHILDREN.
The Garden Club had donated items at that table and 2 club members to run it they also had the plants I went to pick up for it and the order sheet so more could be sold. Well they sold enough of the items to cover the $20 table set up fee and made a few over and then sold some plants that will come by truck on the first of December from the grower.
I brought some of my fused glass items, beaded pieces and hoop earrings and candles. I should have brought more candles! I sold them for $2.00 a pair and I warn you they were pretty compared to these photos I took in bad light and rushed.
Paper, glitter and glue!
Poinsettia for sale also spent time in my kitchen.
I forgot to take a photo of my table but this is a cropped one of clubs table people on tables right behind us I did not have permission to make famous 🙂
So over all a great day and maybe just maybe a few new members!
Glad it went well! 😀
🙂 me too
Reminds me I need a poinsettia. Always have one on my hearth at Christmas, but it’s early yet. I haven’t even begun to think about the festive season.
🙂 We had to start in OCT to get the word out by Dec 2 all plants wlil be making their new homes gorgeous 🙂
I’m so glad it turned out good for you!!! 🙂

Thanks!
Over all worth the $20 though that night I went to bed at 6:30 PM lol
I too am glad you had a good sales day. Lots of work went into preparing for and making the items. Maybe you should up the price of the candles. They are pretty.
Thanks well All it was made from is glue and paper and glitter the $1 store gets $1 a long tapored candle so I figured a pair for two would send them on their way. Good to go to a Yankee Swap type gift. They were so pretty in person they really did hold their attention even over shiny wire hoops 🙂 which I was charging $3 for small ones and $5 for larger pair. Things really did not sell well that day for anyone so I was in the end thrilled with candles and Poinsettia 🙂
The candles look nice. I thought they were candies at first.
🙂 Thanks I did a lousy job photoing them or they would have looked very yummy 🙂
Hi Eunice,
Two dollars for a pair of fancy candles is a bargain! They’re really lovely.
Thanks yes sold like hotcakes 🙂
This bodes well for the holiday season. Do you have more shows coming up?
No I did not want to do that one 🙂 for a good cause so I did 🙂 I am in a lot of pain waiting for surgery on shoulder so just chilling for awhile oh and soon to begin story telling 🙂
Dear Eunice,
I hope the surgery goes well, and that soon you will be relieved.
Thanks 🙂
