Craft Fair #2

I got a last minute invitation from my card making buddy that she would like to share a table with me in the Kensington Community Center craft fair. Since I have some left over stock from last time, I'm more than happy to be there.

From the last craft fair experience, the lollipop is a success. I'd decided to make a bit more of those. And so I bought a big pack of M&M and also make a few more cards.

This craft fair is held in the gym of a community center. Size-wise it's much smaller than the previous one. As well, the atmosphere is a bit different as this one contains more traditional Christmas items and less of artistic stuff. There are also a few of card making tables as well.

To my disappointment, the lollipop doesn't sell this time. Kids are not interested in it ... not to mention there are way less kids came by. The fair is fairly quiet, compare to last one. Despite the traffic, the organizer is great, though. There are free fruit and snack (muffin/donuts etc.) for the vendor. As well there are door prizes for customers as well. However, since I'm not doing as well in this craft fair, I don't think I'm going to come back next year (as a vendor). It's a good experience, though. Same card design get to sell all in the previous fair but just one in this time. Location, location, location is not only important in house market but also business! My table is in the last aisle and I guess it does affect the sales.
