With all the problems I've had since 8/29 when I cut my fingers on the table saw & my car accident 3 weeks, I still managed to get in my 5th show yesterday. Two of them have been 2 days and I have my last 2 day show next week end. Yesterday was my Ag center show that I do several times a year. I will be there 12/10 & 17. Sales have been really good, which is surprising. Yesterday this lady was looking at everything on the tables and tree that had my card holders & angels. At first she didn't notice the angels so hubby pointed them out to her. She said "Perfect. I need 30 of them." We talked for a bit and she has 30 people under her at work and she gives them gifts each year and thought the angels would be just perfect. She asked if I could discount them a bit since she was ordering 30, and me, the one who says the price is the price, no change blah blah, discounted them $2 each!!!!! What can I say? I'm still making a good amount and I know I will have a repeat customer next year.

Congratulations Betty for a good show and the tenacity to stick with it through all that you have had happen recently. Isn't it amazing what folks will buy though.

Well done, Betty! You've had more than a few challenges to face. Yes, to sell 30 ornaments to a single customer, I would have offered a reduction too. She may well be back next year for another 30 items.
