First show ever
Holiday Extravaganza, Wmson Co. Pavilion, November 2013
What are the best things about art fairs
The diversity of Artists that are able to come together.
Best show ever and why
I did a small show in neighboring town at the VFW, didn't know what to expect. The actual turnout for the show was low and I didn't get many sales there but I did meet a new client who was/is very excited about my work and she has placed many orders with me and referred me to several friends who have ordered from me.
Worst show ever and why
My second show, also at Wmsn Co. Pavilion in Nov. 2013. It was promoted as Holiday Craft Show, but included several commercial vendors and turn out was very low. Barely made back my entrance fee. Will definitely avoid all shows that allow commercial vendors!
Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.
Google. Was looking for more info on Cedarhurst and found your site. It looked very interesting.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I like to challenge myself with new patterns, or new stitches, or new yarn frequently, it keeps me from getting bored and I am usually pleasantly surprised at the results.
