Well that was something of a washout - didn't make enough profit to cover the table costs!

Not the organisers' faults - one feature and 2 adverts in local paper, entered on various crafte events websites and 300 fliers plus posters.

Stall pic not so good 'cos I was in front of a window (lots of windows anyway). But it looks a suitable setup for a country market.

Sorry it wasn't profitable Elaine Sad
Maybe it's a bit early in the year? Was there just a general lack of people milling around? What were the other stalls like?
Your stall looks great, a good mix of products on there, what's in the sacks?
Hope you're enjoying a wee tipple now.

The stall looks amazing EJ!  I love those sacks of salts (?).  What a shame that the turn out was poor.  Still, you have some stuff left over for the next one EJ  Smiley

It looks so professional and yet country-ish EJ , the sacks and egg boxes are a gorgeous touch. Are those your bowls as well I can see-fantastic. Wish more people had turned up for you though . I would have if i lived there

Thanks for the compliments.

The sacks are covers for 2.5ltr tubs of bath salts - yes Sue, felt bowls with Woodland or Lavender Rose potpourri. I'm going to carry on with the eggs through the summer ('cos I like the boxes!).

There just weren't the bodies through the doors (Wales at home in the 6 Nations and on TV this afternoon and perhaps the gardening was beckoning).

Still as said, not so much to make for the Ruthin mart next month.

Out of everything EJ, what would you say was the bestseller of the day?

Khayyam fragrance - I sold all of two 130g soaps, box of eggs and 2 buttercream melts in Khayyam and a box of eggs in Nos Da.

No feltbowls and no Corn Dollies (mind you I didn't expect Corn Dollies to sell).

Plenty of people oohed and ahhed over the salts but nobody bought any (perhaps I should have had a few bagged up).
