I wasn't planning on doing this this year, but at the last minute decided to give it a go. This was mainly horse related stuff as the event was an Extreme Cowboy event my daughter was going to.
There were about 30-40 people there with about 10-12 being youth under 18. My sales were first thing in the morning, then after the event was over in the afternoon.
I made $140 for the day with these sales:
12 ornaments - $4 each
1 Horse Candle Tray and charm set (Sheila's pattern) - $ 35
1 "I love you this much" (Steve Good's pattern) - $10
2 Mustang standup puzzles - $15 each
1 Horse Key Chain ( Combo of Sheila's horse silhouette and Steve's Dino egg pattern) - $7
(I also sold a new Horse book for $10)
(Gave away 2 fret work horse portraits and 2 key chains for a raffle.)
I had priced $418 worth of goods so I think 25% plus is pretty good.
I was really surprised about not selling but one horse key chain. I've made now about 25 of them out of different species of wood. (3 my daughter wanted! 1 my wife wanted! 4 or 5 given away!)
I thought they would really sell. Will try other venues.
As for my table, I bought a green fleece blanket from WalMart for $5, the runner and place mats from the Dollar Tree for $1 each.
Sorry for the tape on the sign, it is tacky I know. (Forgot the tacks.)
I will focus on inventory for next year and may try 2 to 3 shows.
