Well I had my first craft show on Saturday. It was a bust. We had a snow storm go through. The show started at 9 am and the snow started at about 10:30. I made a total of $44.00 minus $25 for the booth charge. Not too good. So I am a little disappointed. Maybe the next one will be better. But the mom's that did buy bows from me said that they would contact me for more. So keeping my fingers crossed.
I have attached pics of my table. Any feed back would be nice. Since this is the first one that I have done and I have been making bows for about 5 mos.

That's too bad about the snowstorm. I don't have any advice (I have my 1st craft show this week). But, it's great that you did one and your setup looks good to me. How many bows did you end up selling? You have a lot more inventory than I will...

I'm so sorry to hear that about your show. Your setup was nice and your bows look beautiful. I hope the next show will be better for you. But the good thing is that you still will have those moms as customers.

Hi there, Wisconsin! Your storm came over and kicked Michigan, lol!
We were up in Marquette to pick up our son and it was horrendous driving...

But now you have a show under your belt and can look for things you'd do differently (unfortunately, changing the weather isn't one of them!) and you know what things you'll keep the same.

Congratulations on making more than enough to break even with the fee and here's to re-orders!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.

OD- the best thing about the standing rack is that it was free. At work we sell robot arms and CNC machines and the Robot dept use that mesh material for making saftey walls around the robotic system. This was scrap that was left over. So they gave it to me.

I sold about 12-15 bows. Not too sure just going off of memory. But that sound about right.

Free is good. Your display rack looks great!! was this a large craft show? I think a lot of time it has to do with how well the craft fair was advertised.
