Jim Finn Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I was a vendor at a small town (population 3030) festival today (Sat.) here in west Texas . I had a pretty good day. Grossed about nine times my space rental. About the same gross as last year at this same venue. Most of my sales were boxes with inlayed images in the lids and some intarsia. Sold some toys I made with my scroll saw also. I was the only wood worker there. Most others were selling made in China stuff so no competition there for me.

Jim Finn Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 It is rare to see anyone selling hand made wooden things here also. Just a very few of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 the one show i did EVERYONE commented on the quality of my work.i guess they meant detail?Like you said lots of jewery.chinese stuff.lots of woman stuff,hats dishs(painted).beads,baskets,book authors.Maybe thats why i did $190.00 and nobody out of 10 venders did anything.i gave away what ever they wanted thru the show,litle things.wish i could store up and display like you at a sale.
