Title: Craft Fair in Wrexham Post by: EJ on March 21, 2009, 12:28:00 AM Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
Shutting down now 'cos I've some labelling to finish. Title: Re: Craft Fair in Wrexham Post by: Ɛyɔn :-) on March 21, 2009, 12:32:06 AM good luck EJ.
Title: Re: Craft Fair in Wrexham Post by: Helen on March 21, 2009, 08:51:14 AM Best of luck EJ - Will be thinking of you. Don't forget some pics and I can't wait to hear how it all went :buttrf:
Title: Re: Craft Fair in Wrexham Post by: corrie on March 21, 2009, 11:01:04 AM All the best for today EJ, I'm sure you'll do great!
Looking forward to seeing pics of your stall ;) Title: Re: Craft Fair in Wrexham Post by: Beastargazer on March 21, 2009, 12:52:52 PM Hope you are having a good day EJ. Can't wait to hear how it all went. x
Title: Re: Craft Fair in Wrexham Post by: EJ on March 21, 2009, 07:27:24 PM 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. Title: Re: Craft Fair in Wrexham Post by: corrie on March 21, 2009, 08:03:40 PM Sorry it wasn't profitable Elaine :(
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. Title: Re: Craft Fair in Wrexham Post by: Helen on March 21, 2009, 08:04:56 PM 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 :)
Title: Re: Craft Fair in Wrexham Post by: Suegardner on March 21, 2009, 08:18:05 PM 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
Title: Re: Craft Fair in Wrexham Post by: EJ on March 21, 2009, 08:45:22 PM 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. Title: Re: Craft Fair in Wrexham Post by: Helen on March 21, 2009, 09:43:23 PM Out of everything EJ, what would you say was the bestseller of the day?
Title: Re: Craft Fair in Wrexham Post by: EJ on March 21, 2009, 09:53:36 PM 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). |
