Thank you for the well wishes everyone
Sales were better than I expected. a town of about 300 people, maybe 150 people went through the bazaar, and I sold 8 pieces for a little over 300.00. I am happy with that! I wasn't expecting to sell anything, as I recently had to raise prices on my items, but I did, so I am happy.
The highlight of the day, to me, was a woman stopped by my booth, told me she was at a jewelry party the night before, and my pieces ranked right up there with what she saw at the party. Made my entire day. I had ooohhss and aaahhhhsss, how pretties, and wow what beautiful works....so...maybe I have enough confidence now to do another bazaar? I am seriously considering it.
My confidence does not lack in my product, I know that they are secure, solid, good stones, good metals....my confidence lacks in myself, so the bazaar was a big help to me personally. There is another bazaar for the ice house parade, day after Thanksgiving, I am thinking seriously about that one.
Thank you for asking, I appreciate it.
Marie

$300 is a really good day, congrats!! Bazaars and craft shows are as addictive as making the stuff that you're selling.

Marie, that is awesome. You did a great job and your wraps are really beautiful. We had a bazaar at my church also on the 6th also. Chris and I took some simple stone pendants and some of his wraps. One of his wraps sold, he does not that yet and together we sold about $100. of simple drilled pendants. The wrap will be a surprise for him. Since we probably only had about 30 to 40 people visiting the Bazaar we were thrilled with that. We are going to try again and I am going to drill more stones with my Dremel. Thanks Adrian for that wonderful tool.
