Art fair

My little table was packed with paintings and a few glass necklaces today. I sold a few things, including one of the necklaces.

There wasn’t a lot of footfall and people were looking but not really buying. I guess they don’t have their shopping heads on at a health gym. They want to sit down in the cafe after doing their workouts!

The company was pleasant though. I had a lovely chat with the young woman who had the stall next to me. She was really friendly and we chatted about craft and art fairs and whether to try and get cards made from some of my paintings. She certainly had a lot of work, and was selling greetings cards, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pompoms, and other lovely creations. It helped the time pass to chat with such a friendly person.

My stall was dwarfed by the other people’s. It’s only three or four feet across, and with everything lying flat my stall didn’t have as much ‘oomph’ as some of the others. I might try and get some stands for the paintings. I had some metal ones I’ve used before but they are too heavy and sharp.

  2. What a gorgeous display Christine. Markets are hard work at times and people can be fickle ass to what they will spend their money on. I also do greeting cards and have sold them as part of a stall for my favourite causes.

      1. Don’t take it too personally. Think about the times when you have probably done the same thing. I know I have; I might like the items but due to lack of funds or a need for it don’t buy. What I dislike people who try to drive the price of things down! As you said your stall was swapped by others so it may be worth changing up your display. Have a good week. Lynn
