Description from Luv2bead - Little Chick: Hello Chickies!!!
CRAFT SHOW NEWS:
The Bad News: The craft show I did only had 15 vendors & 6 were jewelry. Also, only about 50 people came.
The Good News: I sold the most out of everyone there :D and I'll have plenty of money to buy more beads!!! :D
I did try to take pictures but the lighting wasn't good at all :( but I'll show you anyway when I download them to dad's laptop!) :D :D :D
(btw: I sold 4 Chicky Nests and everyone who passed my table really liked them and thought it was a cute idea!)

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:So glad you sold some things Little Chick!
I certainly know how frustrating it is to do all that work and spend so much time for a show. But if you got $ for beads, woo hoo!
Glad to have you back!

Chicky Suz aka Susan Z says:Welcome back! Glad you made some money!!I am going to bring the chicky nests around to gift stores and hair salons and see if they will sell on consignment. Also Angels, earring and bracelets. Cute sells, no?

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Thanks! I will order beads today (mainly because I want those free beads from the “Birthday Puzzle” otherwise, I’d have thought more of what I want to order)

Pretty pick BTW!

Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:You worked so hard Little Chick! Congrats on your extra money for beads!
Would love to see picks of how you set up your displays as you and CAS had some great ideas going back and forth!

Look at it like this, Little Chick – it’s experience. The next one will go all the more smoothly, because of this show! So glad for you!!!!

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Thanks Chicks! I’m really glad to be back!
On May 11, 2009 at 12:23 pm #
CAS says:Pictures, even if the lighting was poor, please … I want to see how the display went (it’s one thing to have ideas, another to see them executed). I’m so happy that you did the best, Little Chick, and happy you have more “bead money”! This is a pretty pick BTW.
On May 11, 2009 at 12:27 pm #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Thanks! I used some flower petals on the tree (and white Christmas lights, which is what might have made the picture bad, hmmmm). Anyway, maybe I’ll download the pictures to dad’s laptop tonight….

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Glad you had a successful time. Bet the other vendors were a little bit envious that you were doing so well.
Remember, breaking even is good, money for new beads is even better!
Just curious: were any particular colors or styles selling better than others?

Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Congratulations Little Chick! What a satisfying feeling to know that you were on top at the fair, even if it wasn’t well attended. If you do it again next year, I bet people will come looking for you!
Pretty pick as well!

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Thanks! Happy Chick (sorry, I forgot to answer yesterday). I sold some lt. purple/lt. green jewelry…and I also had a “Clearance, $3.00 each” box and everyone looked at that & some bought. Also, the nests were eye catchers. I think that the more unusual combos sold.
It’s be really cool if they came back looking for me…
On May 12, 2009 at 8:08 am #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:The “Clearance” were things that were maybe 5 dollars already and had been older designs.

J Yee smart chick says:little chicky,
thanks so much for the update and lovely Pick about your results at the craft show this weekend! So sorry to hear that results weren’t what you hoped for but very glad that you were the most successful of the folks selling there… it’s a very tough economy right now… glad to hear that your “chicky nests” sold, can’t wait to see the pics that you’re planning to download!!!!
