This is the first attempt to put a picture on this web site. I finally got my husband to do it for me. I still have a little work to do on this set up, especially signs of some sort and displaying samples of my cards. I have this set up in my living room at the moment to practice. The actually table I will be using at the craft fair will be 6ft. like this one but I think it will be somewhat deeper. Let me know what you all think and if you have any suggestions. Thanks, Carol

Wow Carol,...looks like you put in a lot of hours doing all this. I would also like to see these items up close. Please let us know how things work out for you. I did the craft fairs last year but didn't do too well, but all I had were cards. I may have to try my luck again now that SCS has taught me I can do so much more than cards! Keep up the good work!

If I can get my husband to help me again I'll try to get some pictures with the individual items. I sure wish I knew how to do this myself. Most of the items I just got off this web site. Carol

I think you may be under charging for items. They are very beautiful, one of a kind, handmade items. You put alot of time and creativity into each item. If I were to come to your craft fair I would buy everything up!!

Great display! In keeping with your crate theme, I think CD crates might work for the cards and would look very cute! I believe I got my last one at WalMart.

Your display looks great. This would make me stop and buy. I hope it goes well for you and you make a ton of money. I would also love to see these items up close if possible...please help her with this, husband.

You guys are so funny! I think some of my items are underpiced also but after talking to people lately that have done craft fairs it doesn't seem to be going very well for anyone. I was in JoAnne's yesterday and a lady that works there did a craft fair a couple weeks ago. She hardly sold anything and the girl next to her didn't sell anything. That scares me. I'll have a friend come over before the fair and ask her what she thinks about the pricing and maybe I'll change a few things. I guess I could start somewhat higher to begin with and always mark things down. You guys are so great!! Thanks, Carol

Since I recently did a set up myself I stopped by for a glance and the first word was "WHOA!" What a lot of work you have put in here. It looks fabulous! If the folks who attend don't buy they should!

WOW! Your setup and products look great! I wanna come to your craft fair! The crates really add to it! I like how you've got everthing in cello bags with ribbon - it really adds a finishing touch! Good Luck with your craft fair - let us know how things go for you!

It looks great. I love the pink cello around the candles. I agree, don't underprice! The only craft sale I did, I had a comment that "the cards are beautiful & cheaper than in stores!" I sold cards for $2.50 or 5 for $10.
