The craft fair was a success! I didn't even have to turn it into a kissing booth although I was mighty tempted for one customer.
I would consider it a victory...I can't retire with my earnings but I had A LOT more fun than last year and spent A LOT less money on my inventory.
The make-your-own-bracelet station was adorable and I learned that I am a lot better at making bracelets than making earrings. One boy made a bracelet for his grandma...my heart! I had a lot of hufflepuff participation so thanks puffs!
Wreaths were once again not a big seller but I reallllly wanted to get rid of them so I introduced a special $5 wreath with any purchase deal to move a few. At one point I was yelling "wreaths, 3 for a dollar!" but I still ended up bringing some home so if you need a wreath...I know a guy.
The surprise bestseller was my North Carolina coasters! The Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and Friends coasters sold well too but those NC designs were such a hit! I'm already designing my winter line.
But while you're waiting for that release, I have a behind the scenes look for you. Here is a how to video on the paper beads that kept me busy all summer! Try to limit your inhales while you work and keep in mind this is HIGHLY addictive.
