It's All an Experience...

Today was the second of two craft fairs I'd signed up for during the christmas season. It was marginally better than the first, but there were more product consultants than crafters. From partylite candles to pampered chef they were abundant. Which kinda sucked but at the same time people had an appreciation for my bracelets when they realized that in fact I had made them myself. There was appreciation and surprise when I answered yes to their question of 'You made these?'. Sales were ok, not super but at least I made back the money I spent on the table.

At least my wonderful hubby came with me for the event, which made it much more fun - see corresponding photos :)

A Newbie Feature Blog??

I've been thinking of some fantastic way to get my blog going, and to have people WANT to visit and comment, etc. 

I think I'm going to try creating a Newbie blog, one where I feature new Etsy sellers and their stores, stories, etc. I think it will go over well, and it will help new people get their name out there, just like I want mine :D

It might have to wait till new year though before I can spend the time to set it up, but we'll see. Maybe there'll suddenly be 30 hours in the day to get stuff done!! ;)

New Venture...

I'm trying my hand at some scrabble tile pendants, because they're so darn cute and I have some beautiful origami paper that needs to be used for something pretty. I still need to pick up the little necklace pieces, but I've managed to put together a set of really nice little red tiles for my second craft fair of the season next Sunday. I'm hoping that by adding a little more to my table it will draw more people in and BOOM! More sales and a very happy Sarah will go home. I'll post pics when they're finished, which hopefully will be Tuesday. Yay! I love new stuff :D
