It was an average fair but I did ok despite another Soap company being there with very average M&P, bath bombs, lotions etc (none made by him and not a label in sight)
Anyway, thought I'd share a couple of pics before I toddle off.

I know, it's surprising how it fills up!

Just had a look at the other website - no "about us" page or any real info!

C you made such a fantastic job of your stall and it is so full!!!  What was the 'hot' product of the day?  Is there anything (other than the table cloth) that you would change for next time?  Fab jobbie C !!

Fabadaabah Display. All those goodies. I do agree about the table cloth it is too dominant and not in keeping with your theme. A much plainer fabric would be better so it doesn't detract from your packaging. You filled the table well and that is a big table to fill XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Did you find your boxes sold better at the fair than when you had your open house ?

Corrie, that is such a lovely display and so many cool goodies! What are the round things though, I can't quite make that out in the pic. And is that you in the pic, is it is it?

What could  help as a filler---maybe a few of your wonderful log soaps in the background--not to cut but just for display. You could use ones that aren't quite cured yet.

I sold a few boxes but not as many as I would have liked. Though I got a lot of good comments on the ones with the flowers stuck to the top. The mini jute bags went well, Xmas cake soap too but most surprising was the bath salts I bought from AW, I just sold it by the scoop and put it into tin tie bags with a label. Also their Himalayan salt rocks, I put 4 or 5 into a cello bag with a label.
The round pots are EJ's felt bowls, I didn't sell any but people were very interested in them and they looked great on the stall, I'll try them at the next one.
I'll get a plain cloth, cream or brown and maybe rethink the boxes at the back with the single soaps in, they were a bit tight in those and didn't show them off too well.
I emailed the other soap seller today to ask what is in their organic soap, just curious........ :mwaha:

Personally I would use a light coloured cloth. Brown can be quite a difficult colour and your boxes will get lost.

It is a fact that light colours draw the eye. Perhaps lighten the inside of your brown boxes ?

Good ideas Ruth. Most of the stalls had plain black cloths which looked good for most products and makes anything coloured jump out at you.

That looks fantastic C.  Well done you Mrs for getting that ready (seeing as you had "no stock").

I agree about a plain cloth, and your banner looks fab too btw.

Is it possible to rig up a sign or banner that is eye level. Your banner is great but it does get lost when it is a knee level and below.
