I was weary. Then I took my stuff to the Crafty Apple and Especial Shops where the entire shop was filled with handmade wonders from ladies who, like I, had just gotten tired of the circuit and all the work. I whittled down to one show a year and after 5 years, I burned out on that one as well. I will say that I enjoyed meeting new people each year, and waving and chatting with the same ole' same ole' vendors like me. And I learned quickly that one can never plan on selling anything. As Crafter Jen used to say "John Q Public is not reliable". I've gone to shows where I had thousands of lookie lous and no buyers. One of those "in the hole" shows. Your stuff was really cute and should have sold. But you have some really awesome Christmas gifts now.Carole Beathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247297267983757197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407974079862768873.post-30224826670944880182007-12-09T20:29:00.000-06:002007-12-09T20:29:00.000-06:00Thanks so much for letting us know how your day we...Thanks so much for letting us know how your day went.

I think people tend to just buy what they need at Xmas and I'm hoping to have a stall at our Summer fete as when I did that 2 years ago I sold lots more. Thanks for letting me know what breed your dog is, we have a cross breed who is lovely but still a bit of a problem at times - she was a rescue dogAndrea,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17889486356338918015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407974079862768873.post-36108860366919731202007-12-09T14:54:00.000-06:002007-12-09T14:54:00.000-06:00awww...{hugs} they were great craft ideas!
