Well, I bit the bullet this weekend and did the Sandy Spring Strawberry Festival in Olney, Md. My first actually craft show, though I have done some business expos over the past few months....
It was HOT!
The event was pretty well organized but the 100+ degree temps were oppressive. We lucked out and got a spot inside the museum in the air conditioning. So the soap gods were looking down on me.
I had no idea what to expect, so I brought five of my best scents in soap and body butter. We did pretty well, but may have done better if it had not been so hot. I put out testers for the body butters, which I discovered most folks just used as an opportunity to slather on as much as possible without buying.
I had sprinkled sea shells around the table...and found that they were a big attraction for young kids....many of whom walked off with them. Perhaps little free pouches of shells for the tikes next time??
I was disappointed with my table design and need to figure out how to make it pop more. How does one learn to do that???
Of course there are pictures......
