I have been doing shows for 12 years and I had seen the decline after 9/11, but this year things took an upswing for me, I usually do local churches and schools and most of them now want to see photos of my items and I am told that I am to sell no mass produced junk, so it works out good for me, I have seen people go to the Christmas Tree Shop buy $300 worth of stuff peel off the labels and resell at a profit, I try not to associatte with these people and won't sell where they sell because it cheapens my product line. good luck and I hope you do better in the future! woodman
