My first craft fair

Wins!

I did pretty well for a first time I think...I made the money back that I spent on all my supplies and then plus 200. Got rid of half of my inventory I made. Discovered some things that just weren't popular. It stings when it's the item you personally enjoy the most, but now know next time not to bother.

I made all kinds of bags and people really seemed to enjoy them. I'll stick to that. I learned a ton. I've never been so anxious in my life since I've never sold to strangers, only people I know-but now I know I can. That's pretty cool. I'm not sure I'll become a full time craft fair girlie, but now I have the confidence to really try with an online presence. Maybe make a tiktok account and see what happens.

Only downside is you learn who your friends are. I invited a group of friends to come see my first fair, not a one showed up. I guess I am stronger for it, but it made me a little sad in that area of things. Anyways, happy crafting. Good luck to yall.
