I did my second a few weeks ago and made £10 after expenses and that wasn't taking into account the petrol spent travelling, the food brought and so on!!!<br /><br />I do wonder how people who do this "for a living" make money!!<br /><br />Victoria xxVictoria - Florence and Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614421769288092034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146026862748242024.post-54994352635194260612011-10-03T17:44:39.561+01:002011-10-03T17:44:39.561+01:00Some good comments.

It's definitely nothing to do with your stock, and your stall looks great in the pics.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Your things are lovely. I also think it will pick up more toward Christmas.

I am doing a couple of fairs and like you my confidence will most likely taka a big kicking! I am sure you second fair will be better, I think you have to give it abouy 5 fairs to get the hang of it. Look at stalls that do well, see how they display their stuff - are you too cheap?

I went to a craft fair on Weds... well it was more like a wholesale jewellery and scarf fair, very little was handmade. Christmas is coming up so hopefully you will make loads of sales.<br />DxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238587575008611610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146026862748242024.post-31202851528503544092011-10-02T17:01:09.021+01:002011-10-02T17:01:09.021+01:00Oh dear!
