No longer a craft fair

I recently started researching craft fairs that I could set a booth up at for all the stuff I quilt/sew.  In doing this I realized something.  I am a "boutique vendor."  I love the fact that they are now called boutique vendor fairs.

the booth...not too shabby for my first time if you ask me

I found one that is scheduled for October 26th and applied for a booth and got it...then I found out about a second one that was happening sooner (September 14th) so I signed up for that one too...then while at Merry September, I was invited to set up a booth at Lovebug's Boutique Bazaar Christmas Show.

Saw this on Pintrest and had to go buy a slinky to give it a shot.  Love the way the cards look in it.

I am glad that Merry September was my first event.  I made more money than I spent...and considering the fact that I was right next to a table full of cupcakes, I definitely consider that a success.  I took home three cupcakes, one for myself and two for my husband for making the awesome quilt stand/display for me.  Another reason to look forward to Fall'iday is so that I can get some more of her cupcakes.  The organizers of Merry September were really nice and on the ball also.  I had sales to almost 10% of the shoppers.  I had sales to 11 people and there were only 126 shoppers because of some other event happening in town at the same time.

Fall'iday Bazaar is happening on the Saturday before production loads in to the arena for CMA's and the Boutique Bazaar is the day after I finish wrapping the awards and Christmas show so I'm going to be busy making inventory on the weekends.

Tomorrow I teach my first sewing class.  I'm a little nervous.  Luckily, it's at Stitcher's Playhouse...somewhere where I feel right at home.  Busy busy busy time of year.  Can't wait until it slows down just a little bit so that I can get back into more "boutique vendor fairs".
