    Jewelry Off to a New Show - UPDATE

    Automobile

     So, I've just spent the last 24 hours getting all the last minute details done and packed up all my jewelry to send it on its way to a new show. It's a small town show but suppose to be a good one and these days we need all the good ones we can get.

    I'm using some new displays and have included some woven pieces in my jewelry.  I'm anxcious(?) to see what kind of response if any these have on our showing. I'm sure I'll be on the phone checking on the shows traffic and trying get any feedback I can before the show is even over.  I get antsy. It's hard for me not to be there I miss that part of the process.

    Wish us luck and I hope all of you have a Great weekend.

     I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I would be a wreck too if I had to send it off with someone else to show. Good thoughts headed your way!

     From Arizona to New Mexico, I will be sending you "good thoughts and great sales" at the show.

    you have my empathy, I sent a few things with my niece to sell for me. I was wondering before her flight landedConfused.

    Have a Great Weekend, and think $$$

     Best of Luck! Be sure to let us know how things went. Sometimes, I think it would be better for me for someone else to take eerything to the shows! LOL!

     UPDATE;

      We made our fees back- so we weren't skunked as we say in my neck of the woods. (Meaning we sold something)

    While the show was well attended I'm afraid that everyone was more interested in filling their bellies and listening to live music than in buying for the Holidays. Even those that had been there last year and sold out - sold absolutly nothing this year. People just aren't letting go of their money.

    Lots of business cards were handed out and we had one lady that has asked for a private showing. And several others who took cards said they would be contacting us. Now we just have to see if they really do,

    I want to Thank you all for your support and well wishes.

    Happy Beading Everyone

    Well, at least you made your money back!  Sorry to hear it wasn't a huge success though.  Earrings were by far my biggest seller a couple weeks ago too.  I think that's nearly all I sold other than a simple necklace or two.

    Hope your private showing goes well!  If you do it, ask her to invite a few friends as well and make it into a home party.  The one I did a few months ago was a good success for a couple hours' work.
