Yep - I made it through my back to back weekend shows (one a 2 day weekend and the other a 3 day weekend). My stand was looking really sad by the end of the last day. I have soooo much stuff I have to re-stock. WHICH IS A GOOD THING cheerl But man, I'm beat down. This past weekend I did really good! So worth my time both weekend, but I got a whole different crowd of people at this mall. It's weird how you go from one place to the next and see the difference in people.
My best sellers: kufi hats (weird being 80 degrees outside!!!), headbands, applique clippies, and flowers. I sold a lot of things at this mall that didn't seem to sell at the other mall I did, weird! Sold a few newsboys, not many solid bows??, and quite a bit of my baby items (burp cloths, tag blankets...) I took two custom orders, one for a wipe case (lady came back the second day with her COACH diaper bag to match a fabrics and give me her order - she also brought her mom and grandmother with her just to see my stand. The mom laid down $75 herself!!!!!!! CRAZY!). The other custom order was for a tutu, Birthday t-shirt, and matching hairbow set. Pretty neat.
I also got a couple of leads on some up coming shows with different groups that offer shows and met some really great other vendors that were there. Apparently my booth and one other in our location were the only two doing any good. A monograming stand had CUTE stuff and only sold 2 bags the entire 3 day weekend?? The weekend before Mother's Day!?!? How could that be!?!
I have pictures, but my stand is pretty much the same has my last post. Just a different setting. I will post them at some point.
