Show Report - the last show for this year!
« on: December 11, 2011, 12:42:49 pm »
Today was the last show of this year - the invitational one.
It was at a retirement home/nursing home. They have a big cafe down there, really nice. Today was their Christmas event.

Some traditional, soft music was played by a small band. Drinks and food was free (donations were welcome).
It was a really small show with small tables and like 5 sellers. We were in a small additional room right next to the cafe. Sale was open from 2 - 5pm - short but nice. The event was well visited and really crowded.

So the result: really great! made around 300$ in those 3 hours and nearly sold out on candle holder, ornaments, window hangers and my little Christmas trees!
I had the ornaments unlabeled from the price tags and sold them 1piece/2?(~2.75$) or 6pieces/10?(~13.50$). All toke the 6 pieces and soon I had no additional ornaments in my boxes. That was quite nice and I'll make it the same next time.

We will have to start calling you "Big T" for making so much loot!

Congrats on the good show...

If I had made that much on a show I would still be celebrating....

Thanks! Yes, it was a fine show.
Now I can focus on our own Christmas and will do come cutting for the family.

GB, I will claim for the "big T" but do think that it's too early. I still have "space for development", that's for sure.
