Just completed a spring craft show and I tried something new. I took the little yard flags that people have been showing in their yards and turm them into wood, the ladies went wild over them. I carried about 10 different letters with me and one custom made with the address on it, sold almost all of them and got 10 orders for the address signs , now comes the work, so be careful what you wish for, you may just get a lot of work out of it.
The ladys said he cloth flags were torn by the wind and faded and never hung straight. I created my out of cedar, had 2 coats of sealer and painted the letters and sealed it again.

Those are great! Even in todays economy you can make money. You just have to create your own market and come up with something different. Congrats on the sales.
