This was my first Pre Christmas sale from 9.00AM Saturday until 3.00 PM. It was in a little community hall in Wynndel which is a one horse village with a general store and post office and some houses. It is ten miles from the nearest town of Creston BC and it poured rain all day in heavy fog. We really didn't expect many to turn out and the walk in traffic was way down from last year.
I had rented a double table and was hoping I would meet expeneses.
Much to my surprise I came home with a clear $425.00. after the price of the tables and lunch for my wife and I.
About 85% of my sales were from wood turnings and the other 15% was from scrollsawing and fretwork.
Sometimes it's scrolling that sells and sometimes it turning. I just take it as it comes.
I couldn't get the whole table length in one picture so I am posting a left and right shot of it.
Every time I do a craft sale I find that it is lots of smaller inexpenesive items that sell the best at the sales in my area than just a few big ones to make up the end total.
I only had 12 spurtles and wished that I had made more. I took some back orders for them and I will make at least 20 more to take to the next sale in two weeks from now.
