Valley Lutheran Craft Show Comments and Results
First Christmas Bazaar I've done this season.  Trying to concentrate on getting online sales going but need these shows occasionally for exposure.  This was a great show for me last year out earning any show I've done.  This year sales were down  but still made significantly more than the booth fee.  I don't know if sales were down because of the economy as everyone says or if last year was just exceptional.  I was a little disappointed but overall I deemed it a success and will likely do it again next year.  It is very close to home so can't beat it for convenience.  Table location wasn't the greatest but folks did find us ok and a great side benefit was that I made some good contacts that likely will be ordering more stuff.
Haven't been updating the blog and website lately because most of my days have been taken up with cutting projects in the wood shop.  That has been a serious handicap for me because the blog and web site need to be kept up so you will keep coming back to see what is new.  I've been using facebook a lot to post pictures of new things and direct you to the blog and website.  But there hasn't been a lot of new things lately. 
Got another show coming up in two weeks (Nov 17th) at Frankenmuth High School.  This was a great show last year as well and I have high hopes for success there.  If your in the area stop by and say hello. 
I'll be doing lots of cutting in the next couple of weeks and hope to get the website updated and a couple more blog posts in the meantime.  If you're on facebook send me a friend request.  I'll be happy to add you if you are not already on my list.
