Yes, I've decided to do the Market again this summer. But I'm getting a bit old I think, to schlepp across the parking lot with boxes and boxes of jams and jellies. So I've decided that I'll bring 3 cases of them (3 dozen jars) to each market, for the bread and butter, so to speak. The rest will be other things, such as quilling art, dragon bags, nature craft kits, etc. Two years ago when I did the Market, I noticed that the little things sell, the more ambitious pieces, not so much. So that's the approach I'm taking. That means it's time to get busy on those little lovelies that will actually sell. I remember I couldn't make enough cards and tags, so I'm making just a bunch of 'em.
I also noticed that the blank cards were the most popular, so while I'll make some Happy Birthday, Anniversary, Get Well and New Baby cards, most of my cards will be blank for people to write their own messages. And I'm doing mixed media cards as well ~ Photo Art cards, photo art and verse, quilling art, and some cards with all three.
So, enough of Freaky Fish and Fancy Flowers for the moment.... now I'm just having some simple fun. :)

Good luck with the market!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula! Squeezin' in whatever bit of quilling I can right now. Focussing on cards and tags. Then I'll see what else I can come up with. Little things. ;o)
