Way to go Randy! Your table is nice and simple. Are you making a decent profit at $4.00 ea.? How many hours do you suppose went into making all of those? You should check out some local shops to try to sell to.

Whooohoooo! I'm so glad you had fun and did well. Did lots of the kids ask questions about the rocks?
Way to go!

Amy- almost all of them had a question or two, and there was four of them that hung out at my table and talked about rocks for a good while. Then they left, and came back, bought more after persuading the parents to give them more cash, and talked for a while longer. Karen- I didn't make too much profit. The price limit for this show was $5 per item. I knew this going in and was doing it for the kids. It was a show for the kids to do some Christmas shopping at prices that are affordable to them. I make my money building restaraunts. Anyhow, this was my first craft show. Now that I know these pendants go over quite well, I can move on to bigger shows. I currently have two local stores that buy from me, and I've done some dealing with a couple board members as well. A few of my pendants can be seen at www.deltarockgallery.com , that's "rockyraccoon's" site. (She's a sweetheart) I suppose that my main goal is to have this hobby support itself, but a few extra bucks never gets turned away. ;D

Thanks bud! Those kids were just so darn cute, it was cool watching them all excited as they dug through the box. I'll be there again next year too, the school is right across the street!

WTG Randy. It always gives you a special feeling when someone is willing to pay money for something you've made. Its nice to have the validation of your love of rocks and your skill with them.
