Unity Arts and Crafts Sale

Well I survived my first intentional craft sale! I say intentional because this was the only year that I purposefully set out to make things for the Unity sale. It was pretty good considering our minister announced that she was leaving Lawrence and moving to Maui! Folks were pretty upset. I was downstairs and missed the announcement. People were very sad and selfishly, I wish she would have announced that on another day!

In years past, I have made things at the last minute and decided to do it but this year I have been working since summer to put things together to see what people think, what they would buy and really what I can do well. Here is my table. I shared it with Jacob who made Konfetti Kaos bottles.








Fabric Bowls:









I was happy the Dysfunctional Family Christmas cards went over very well and I actually sold out of the "I hope your family is as happy as ours..." card! The dancing goddesses were well received buy I do not think their fronts were defined enough. People looked confused. Here is Red Hot Mama and her friends:

I did not sell alot of memory wire bracelets and that surprised me because I thought they were really cool and well priced.



















Also, the fingerless mits I made did not sell either and again cute and well priced. Oh well, I have inventory for Biz Baz next November and I still think that some of the things that did not sell will do well in other venues. I will post pics when I get a free moment. Mom helped with the set up and it was very cute--somewhat crowded but cute.

"Spirits of the Woods" This was a last minute inspiration--it is fibers, beeswax, fabric and Fimo clay. I love it and am not terribly sad that it did not sell! I will probably try some more of these as it was really fun to make!
