First Craft Show of the Year

Anyone who does craft shows knows that they're anything but predictable. You can make a ton of money or not have one sale. Knowing this, I go into craft shows with low expectations, but lots of positivity. This weekend I went to my first craft show of the year at Art Walk in Lancaster, PA. It had its highs and lows, but overall was a great experience.

The show was in the parking lot of an art gallery. It was small with about 8 vendors. The first day another vendor and myself were kind of tucked away out of people's view which I was not happy about. I kept a good attitude however and sold a few headbands. I also met an awesome girl Brooke from Brookiellen Designs . She and her family made the day go by super fast. The woman in charge, Mary, was super nice and helpful. There were bands playing all day too.

The second day I expressed my concern of our location to Mary. She was very helpful and Brooke and I got moved up front and the bands were moved to the back. This made a huge difference. We got a lot more traffic and I sold some more headbands. Overall the show didn't get a ton of traffic, but it was the the first time for the show and that's usually what happens. I met some great people though and the weather was gorgeous. All in all a good first show of the year.
