Wood Art Fair
« on: December 13, 2011, 11:49:43 pm »
This last Saturday I did the Wood Art Fair at the Woodcraft Store in Ventura CA. I think I was the only scroller there out of about 22 Wood artist. It was a great day and my best sales ever! I had a variety of items from pattern makers such as Sheila Landry, Steve Good, Diana Thompson and Grampa among others. the top sellers were Sheila's sled ornaments and fretwork mini ornaments, Steves Ornaments and gift card holders, and Diana's Mini Birdhouse ornaments.
After adding up my receipts, I sold nearly $1000! Not bad for a long days work. The pictures were taken just before opening, I hadn't finished my tree yet.

Great Day for you Dan!

Lots of really nice merchandise.

WC must have really promoted that event or was it done by the club?

Local WC store here barely sends an occasional email for sales!

Glad you picked up some cash! And by the way..there was a lot more than 'one day's work' on those tables!!!

Hi DG, glad to see all your hard work come to fruition. A superb display and I'm sure the pictures,good as they are, don't do your fine workmanship justice.

I just go to craft shows with a single $1000.00 item. I figure, if it sells, I'll make it big! :)  Great job though with yours!! Nice stuff on display.
