How many craft fairs/shows are you doing?

[NikiJ]

Hi All
Just wondered how many shows you are all doing this autumn/winter season?

I'm starting to get really booked up and worried if I'll have enough stock.

How much do you make for each show?

Looking forward to your replies!

Not doing any this year, I have been asked to do some but turned them down, I just don't have to time to make lots of candles, that may not even sell on the day


A couple of years ago I did one and made £180

I tend to have one party at year at home now around November time, last year sold £500 worth, so I am sticking with Home Parties for now

Wow £500 that is great! I do an open house every year, I'm doing mine on 25th November this year.

Do you open your doors to everyone or is it invite only? How do you decide who to invite?

I send out invites, mainly to friends, neighbours, family and of course most of the school mums, I tell them they are all welcome to bring a friend

I normally have the party from 10am until 3pm and have free Mulled Wine and Coffee

I had a few booked but not sure I am going to make them as am moving house. Not sure when yet though. Was really looking forward to them. Tracey - I love your party idea. I can imagine me drinking too much mulled wine though and giving all my jewellery away!

I am booked for one late October and late November. This will be my second year at both places so I will see how well I do.
