Unfortunately my table was down a corridor from the main foyer, in a seperate room which I shared with a lady selling leather handbags and another selling handmade recycled material patchwork pictures. I was tucked around a corner and think that a lot of people looked through the doorway, saw the bags and did not bother to come into the room. So the day wore on, I had a few customers but did not sell very much, however I did learn about other craft fairs that were worth considering for next year. To make matters worse I was told that the middle Saturday of the 3 was always the best one - I only booked a table for 2 Saturdays- guess which one I did not book!!! They have got me down as reserve in case anyone cancels and I do have the last Saturday to look forward to, although that is normally the most quiet one. Oh well, put it down to experience, at least I am not a craft fair virgin anymore,lol. I may have a table at a school Christmas Fair at the end of the month and am told I should do well there, here's hoping.

Oh Eileen they look gorgeous and what a clever girl you are. At least it was a learning curve and you will know the procedure next time, where I know they will be clambouring for your creations.

PS. don't know where the time is going at the moment but I haven't forgotten that we will meet up.
Beautiful Eileen! Glad I didn't post picts of my table, you'd have laughed!!! :) My fair was slow as well. Not sure if it is the economy, or just the church we went to. Not a lot of traffic. But good practice for next time!!!
