Lillian, thanks for sharing the lovely pictures, with us all. Sorry that there were not more people, to see your beautiful work. Hugs Yvonne
132773It looks like you had wonderful weather and had fun even if the sales were poor. I have never tried to sell any thing at an art or craft fair. Blessings to you

11473Well, you all look beautiful in the pictures and you got to spend the day with people you like. Your display was really nice, sorry you didn't have a good turn out. Maybe next time.;)
158559I just read one of the other posts and your comment about helping with the yard sale. You could always set up a table there too.
12985what a beautiful place for the craft show and a gorgeous looking day. Nice display too. Too bad there were so many other things going on to spoil it a bit for the show. Looks like you all had a good time anyway. Thanks for sharing.
12985Miss Lillian, thank you for sharing this with us - I am sorry you didn't do so well - but it does sound like you had a bad weekend. Hope the two of you (should I say the 3 of you, with Ray) will be visiting with each other many times. Keep us informed.
211078Thanks to Lillian & Ron I enjoyed the time spent with them at the festival. Although it was a bust as far as selling the weather was beautiful. Now Miss Lillian and Ron know where I live, hopefully we can get together more often. Time spent with friends is priceless.
10191I do festivals now and then with hubby, he usually does fairly well (he sells knives, bought and custom), sometimes I do well some times not, but we always have a good time and that makes the day worth while....I enjoyed your pictures...thanks for sharing.
8647Sorry to hear you did not sell much. But I am sure it is the economy. I think everyone is scaling back on their spending. It was nice you had a friend with you and your hubby as well. In that respect I am sure it was a good day. Weather looks like it was just beautiful. Hugs, Mary
33871Scottsboro, Alabama has a trade day every month the First Monday Weekend. The trade day is located around the courthouse. A lot of the items are your everyday flea markets items, but there are a lot of crafts also. If you don't live very far from Scottsboro that would be a good place to set up a table of embroidery. Here are links with the First Monday information

Thanks we did have fun, I hope to post some pic's of the lake so you can appreciate our outing even more. It is a man made lake, use to be a swamp, not joke, it is feed by an underground spring and the water is crystal clear when it comes out. It is stocked with lots of fish.
168959You just never know who will show up and purchase your crafts. When you do another show I hope you have an amazing turn out. At least you had a beautiful day to be out.
89895Wish I could have come ... nice to have friends to share with...
20582now maybe the selling part was a not so good thing, but lets face it...You had fun with each other and got to come back and post to all of us your pictures and knowledge that you did have a good time...So the LORD was with you in that way. I don't think it is going to be good for very many people all across the world...My friend here didn't sell 1 item at one place and only a couple at another place.....so i think it is mainly the economy right now....

It was a good time & a beautiful day. We were right on a lovely lake & it was gorgeous.
34246Thanks for sharing the pictures. I am sorry for the turnout, but a AL game day? I would say you had quite the competition. Sounds like one that my friend went to - she sold one item. Now that is sad. But, you got out and did it. Good for you. Hugs
44813Great pictures,Lillian. Sorry for the poor turnout.

Next weekend is the big Arts & Craft Show in Springville, Al. at Homestead Hollar. I want to go to it but not to sell, I would just like to see what is selling now. Their show is 3 days & they have people there from surrounding states also.
51302Sorry about the poor attendance but it was a day out.
18960I am sorry the show did not go well but you had a good friend's company, you hubby and a beautiful day to remember. I have found that most people are not spending alot of money on things that they do not need. It is a sign of the times. As Christmas gets closer, alot more will be buying last minute gifts but I am afraid most will still be "careful spenders" even through the holiday season. It is certainly NOT your work because you do such pretty things! I feel the crunch and I am not the only one!
24961Thanks for the pictures but sorry to hear that you had a poor turnout. Better luck next time
114488I am so sorry you had a bad day we had a fair week end at our quilt show. did a lot better last year.

32767Lillian , I am sorry your day wasn't as sucessful as you had hoped . I have had booths in Craft shows when I felt like , Why am I here ? I could be doing so many other things. And I have been in craft shows when I did extremely well and I left thinking I need to do this all of the time. don't let it get you dowm. At least you had a good friend to keep you company. ( and Hubby also ) Maybe you can find another Craft show to sell your items. They also make great gifts. Love Nancy

I'm thinking of Christmas around the square in Ashville if they have it this yr. Nancy. They are having Homestead Hollar in Springville this coming up weekend but it just this min occured to me I promised to help daughter with her yard sale this next Sat. yikes I am spread so thin.
16513I'm so sorry the turn out was so poor but as long as you had the Lord's blessing of a beautiful day outside in His garden I'm sure the day was not wasted.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

Thanks Meg. There's a big lake right in front of us with a sidewalk partially around us. I was standing on the side walk when I took the pictures. It was a beautiful place.
1228641) Getting Started
2)Getting Set up
3)Almost ready with my hubby in background on his mobility Scooter
We were first ones there & early so a lot was going on around us. Did we do well. NO! Not a lot came. those who did spent very little. Sara painted a lot of beautiful ornaments & mine was all embroidery work. We were competing with Races at Talladega, Al. & of course the big Football Game which is why I believe the turnout was poor. It was a beautiful day & we had fun.
