So, now you have to let us all know how you made out! For me, this has been a bad season as far as the shows are concerned. My best one was back in June and it was a lousy day for a show. Rain and wind and chilly...more like October weather. Even with the bad weather, the people showed up and they actually were buying stuff! Made over $200, not too bad. So far this fall, the shows have sucked. I barely made back my booth fees on a couple of them. Two more to go, then done for the season...whew!! At least then I can get back in the shop and do some projects for Christmas presents. John |

Well the sale was okay for me. Sold $441.00 in 5 hours. Expenses were $50.00. Attendance was down a bit but over 500 people showed. We had snow, rain, wind and all that unwanted stuff. For a small town of 1100 persons I think I did okay. Got to run now I have to get ready for the next sale in mid Nov. I have to replace some pic's that I can,t keep. 3-d pic's from Roy & Scot I got 5 yr's ago. Good luck to the other scrollers that do craft sales.whitepinejack1 |

I did only 2 sales this fall. The 3rd sale fell through. I did okay in sales ended up at about 10 to 15 % over last year. I still say thank god that it is a hobby with me and not a full time job. I love scrollsawing but i also like to go to my camp. No hydro there so i can not scroll. Good luck with your sales in the coming year. I hope to do 4 or5 sales this summer and maybe 4 or 5 this fall ( i am retired). Good luck Whitepinejack1 |
