Its really hard to know what will sell Simone - I only do 3 or 4 fairs a year and make a variety of thing and definitely only things I enjoy making. And I find that you can't predict what will sell. Something sells out and you wish you'd made more, you make more for the next sale and they don't sell but something else does! Is it called Sod's Law?! I think your cards are brilliant (of course). See if you can locate a fair that is being held to raise money for a charity - they are much more friendly!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549006313944585453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-69439720012652771152014-07-13T03:01:19.719+01:002014-07-13T03:01:19.719+01:00I think you need to follow your passion.....what m...I think you need to follow your passion.....what makes your heart sing a little bit louder? <br />at craft fairs, I'm always drawn to items that are unique and really feel "true"....there is something of the person's heart<br />that speaks to mine. <br />So I think my advice is "be true to your own beautiful heart."<br />that's my two cents:)<br />peace and passion, baby:)<br />-JenniferJennifer Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305032927925322733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-79167854006718742972014-07-12T10:56:49.788+01:002014-07-12T10:56:49.788+01:00hello simone, for what its worth i think your card...hello simone, for what its worth i think your cards are lovely!<br /><br /> So are your sprites.. how about making variations on them? small ones with brooch fittings attached, small ones on keyrings, a little sprite with a tooth fairy pocket, how about some halloween sprites in orange and black and silver... christmas ones in red and gold?<br /><br />leanne x Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573431221299174647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-72780356610112828422014-07-10T18:33:59.448+01:002014-07-10T18:33:59.448+01:00Make bags, we are all going to have to pay for the...Make bags, we are all going to have to pay for them at tills as from 2015.
