Ok so I was the first person ever selling bows at this craft show. This was very evident when people were asking me if the korkers were for on the top of packages. It also was a very poorly attended show, so all in all I didn't do very well. I made $60 and my DH who took carvings made $30.
Here's some pics of my display


My DH goofing off:

My Xmas stuff:


I made a bunch of flower pots with bows in, all different sizes and didn't sell any at all.


Even though I didn't do well it was great to have the experience. I was happy with the picture frames I used to display the bows. I got mine all at good will for under $4. And then the shutters I got from my mom and MIL, they worked great to hold the bigger bows. I also put out a piece of paper where people could sign up for an email list to get exclusive online coupons for when my new store is up and running.

Oh my gosh! That is incredible! I love the shutters. I like how you had the bows arranged by price on the boards as well...that makes it easy for a shopper. The flower pots were way cute!

Too bad about the attendance, I would of bought from you!

Well, I guess we could put korkers on the top of packages!

Awesome job and great looking bows!

No I didn't sell any I'm not sure if I'm going to try to sell them online or just hang onto them for shows next year.

Thank you, my husband has been carving for ten years and he really enjoys it. Pretty much all of our Xmas presents are homemade because he carves stuff or I make bows so it works out really well. I attached some more pics of my favorite santas he makes.
