We have a winner
Saturday's Show may not have been a huge financial success, (you need customers in order to make sales), but it was certainly a success for me. I not only met a ton of wonderful people, but I gained confidence in setting up my booth, talking up my wares, taking credit cards etc. Space was a bit tight, but I even had a great time being sandwiched in between Moonlight Bindery and Penelope Designs, because both crafters were uber nice and fun to chat with when the customers were scarce. I am feeling so good about the fair, I am now planning to do another show in Woodbridge on March 8th that benefits the Gar-Field Highschool PTA.
In More exciting news- I have randomly selected a winner from the drawing I held at the Craft Show! I ended up with 19 entries to win this lovely handmade Sterling Silver and Multicolored Beryl bracelet.
The winner is: Kelly P. of Columbia MarylandI will be mailing out her new bracelet tomorrow via USPS first class mail. I hope you enjoy it Kelly!
I had a lot of fun running a drawing and I think I'll do it again at the Gar-Field Craft show in March. In this case I mostly had other crafters participate, but I hope the next show is busier and I can get some real customer involvement.
Who cares though! Free stuff is FUN! Woohoo :)
PS. Thanks to Lourdes of Glass On The Square, who put the entire show together. Thanks for your hard work Lourdes.

Oh man. I wanted that bracelet!! :)
It was so nice to meet you Jenner (and everyone else). Your jewelry is beautiful, as was your set up. Best of luck with your next show!
I'm glad you had a good time at the show and met lots of wonderful people!
Your drawing was a great idea!!
Wishing your next show to be full of customers who need their jewelry boxes filled! :)
Shows are great! I always meet interesting and friendly people. I love the flow of creativity in a real world venue. Sometimes I have my 13 year old son along as sales help - the women love him and he gets more sales than I do- the down side is that I go shop. Between that and what he eats, I probably lose money :)
