They say there’s no way to tell how a show will go. One show, business will be slow and the next, you’ll be swamped. I don’t know because I haven’t worked my tush off like you have to make your cool wedding signs and get up at midnight and wait in a long line to put up a fabulous booth like this. I’ve been looking forward to this post ever since you started making your displays, and I’m disappointed for you about your lack of profits. Your display rocked; I loved that screen door! Clearly, your Etsy customer’s gain will be Kentucky Flea Market’s loss! Enjoy your hard earned break.

aw… I’m sorry Gail. I was thinking about you and hoping that you sold LOTS! 🙁
I absolutely ‘love’ that chalkboard saying, “As two families become one… we ask that you choose a seat not — a side”

Well that just sucks—but there’s probably some “reward” around the corner looking for you-!

Every thing looked great Gail! I love the ways you displayed your signs. Sorry you didn’t have a better sale, that’s always a bummer. Enjoy your little bit of time off 😉

Ugh, I’m sorry it was such a bust. I hate that. But you’re right about having a ton of inventory for Etsy now! Silver lining.

Well your booth looked amazing! So sad it wasn’t a more successful weekend. Maybe it just wasn’t the right venue. There are so many variables to a successful sale and many of them are out of our control. But glad you are looking on the bright side!

Been there done that. It’s so frustrating. Do you know why, was it a different type of buyer, or was it that everyone wasn’t selling? For me, it’s the TIME packing, driving, setting up and standing there… as you said, time you could be creating, that is so annoying.
