Fall Fair Show

Ok, We are all set up. I'm trying to drink my coffee but there are too many people in our booth! I hope some of them spend some money!!
It's looking good so far. I'll post pictures later.

Good luck Terry!

Yes good luck and please share! I have a craft fair I could attend, but just don't know what to make? I thought of the Lincoln head penny banks, but for the cost of material I can't make much profit. I found using a clear pine board is about $28.00 and I don't know what I can get for the banks? The rule of thumb of double the price of material, not sure if anyone will pay $56.00? I thought of heart boxes. Last year I tried nut cracker X-mas tree ornaments and few other different ones. Then some wildlife carvings natural and painted. I brought home most of the items I made!

So if you don't mind sharing please tell me what sells! Of course anybody else that has suggestion I would appreciate it!

Well, even though attendance was down a little, this was the best craft fair I have had for Wood Wisdom. As for the best seller? Cribbage boards led by about 4 to one. Recipe boxes were second. We had a good assortment of items from signs to awards and even Photographs for sale. But they really liked the cribbage boards. They ranged in price from $40 to $70 each. Kathy and my son, James did most of the work.

Hi,

Great cribbage boards.
Would you post a picture of the recipe boxes? How much did you charge for one?

Hmmm.... I might have a picture or two to share. LOL

The Dylan board was a custom order. The 12 and 14 inch round boards were just bearly out of the CW.

We did another craft fair today. It was the first of a two day event. We sold a few cribbage boards, second was the recipe boxes and third was a house address sign. Not bad but hope tomorrow is better.

Two other pics show the peg storage cut out I put on my cribbage boards. It is one by two by a half inch with a sliding door.
