I am jumping in feet first.

I have decided to do a few craft fairs, provided I can find some to enter last min. I am so hesitant on selling my crafts. I always feel they aren't good enough to sell. After much persuasion from DH, my family, and his coworkers I am doing it.

Now to figure out what to make! I have a million things I would like to do. I know I will do a handful of tutus, 5 or 6 cupcake stands, post it note holders of various types (thanks Mrs. , pencil packs, magnets, and book marks. I will need to make a few other items.

Ah!!! I started making a list of supplies yesterday. Now I need to see what I have and need to get started. My first show is tentatively Nov. 4. I have to wait to see if I got in. If I did not get in that show, my first show will be Nov. 11.

I think Tutus would sell really well. Can you do fairy wands too? I always loved those. You know, little sticks with tule and ribbons. GL!

Good luck, I hope it goes well for you. I have only done one craft show, I'd like to do more, but I need to get my inventory up.

I would totally buy this. And hair bows and other girly things.

MW Do you sew? I'll hire you to make a costume (snow white) for Amanda. I thought about asking AKA, but I think she might be busy for the next couple weeks.

Could you do anything Christmasy? Christmas ornaments, wreaths?

I do sew. I am leaving next week for a cruise and I am going to be gone until the 24th. I won't have time to make it before Halloween.

Heather- I am not on etsy

Lurky- That is the plan. Christmas items are my #1 goal. They tend to sell really well.

DARN! Well start up an etsy store so I can buy some tutus and magic wands already!

YAY for you!! growing up, my mom made christmas ornaments and sold them at craftshows for extra money for our Christmas presents. I would go with her and have so much fun!

That's very exciting!

Question - care to share how you make a cupcake stand? Or care to sell one to a lazy mama in Chicago who has to plan a birthday party??

Give me a second to find it. I have made several of them so it is stuck in memory. I need to see if the link is still up.
