I am set up to work a few spring craft shows and to do a table at the one Saturday market. I will have my jewelry out and a friend and I are trying to start up a cookie business. Does anyone else do spring shows and what do you have that goes best? I of coarse have made up some pretty stuff with pinks and yellows as well as flowers and other spring like charms. Watches with charms and double/triple strand necklaces. Trying so new items.

i find that in my area spring craft fairs dont do as well as the ones held at CHristmas time. however, summer seems to go well because there are tourists that come to the city i guess.

That is my fear and as the winter ones where not so great, mostly just window shoppers I am praying this goes ok. I am hoping to play up end of school year teacher gifts and hoping that works out.

I have been very fortunate to make counted cross stitch cards. I have sold several on ebay I really need to get back to it but have been working on a larger piece for my grand daughter.I have about5 pieces that need to be finished one after the other. But I enjoy my cross stitching and knitting. it always comes about to help someone. I think after I am finished with the pieces for the family I will turn to makeing pieces for different shops or businessess. We don;t have many craft sales in florida. I miss it but I still find ways to sell on my own.

I like to cross stitch but I have to be in the mood for it..lol try selling on Etsy rather then Ebay. There is is a craft show only and people are there to buy what they like not to get a deal which makes a big difference.

I have a friend who I met her, but was run off by a few people (actually got her accounts deleted). I am still friends on Facebook and Twitter, and she makes jewelry and sells online and at a local market on weekends. I make jewelry, but since I don't wear it much... I would like to sell it.

LIttle spring flower cards I made - Two little flowers cards to announce spring
I missed our spring show....but usually do things for easter and spring flowers etc...I sell alot of greeting cards...little candies....my books and poetry..I hope you do well. The last few sales I have done there were not jewelry people...at one time I could do a sale and there would be as many as four to six selling jewelry...now....there is none!
