Hey Scott, sure sorry to hear about the dud weekend. I sure have done that but it was just like the Griz said about picking the right show to go to. I was at a local monthly flea market type thing. I tried about 3 or 4 months of that and hardly sold a thing. Even had a lady cut through my booth in a hurry to buy an old jar that the vendor next to me had some stuff in. She gave him 20 bucks for it. I thought about trashing my saw and go looking for old jars to sell. Just kidding. Anyway I quit going to that sale and started looking for craft shows. Sales have gone up. Not getting rich but I don't go in with a cloud hanging over me wondering if I'll sell anything.  I always sell something  now.  We have a local town festival I have set up at the last 2 years and they have a band and carnival rides and a parade and I go cause I live a couple miles out and I don't sell enough to make it worth while, but I have a hoot so I go anyways.  But the craft shows are good. Check out the threads and see what items are selling for others  they may work for you. Check out the photos of some of the booths and how they display. I know Linster has some good photos in her folder.    Rots of ruck    gw
