Happy New Year!

Yes, I do realize that it's January 9th.  A little late with my greetings, I know.  They are heartfelt though.  :)  
We enjoyed the holiday season here.  Hectic, as usual, but fun too.  We had company for Christmas Eve, Christmas day, and New Year's Eve.   Before all those festivities began I had a couple of craft events to attend and an Open House here.  The Open House went the best.  Even though some guests weren't able to make it over, those who did all bought something.  At craft shows, there's no way to know what people might be interested in.  And it's very easy for potential customers to get distracted amidst so many vendors.  I know many times I've wandered around at fairs and been a bit overwhelmed at the choices.  Or I'd see something I thought I might buy and then ended up buying something else at another table. 
If you sell at fairs, how do they usually go for you? 

Sweetheart that he is, my husband took a small bag of goodies to work and made a couple sales for me.   One of the guys bought a pair of red dangle earrings for his wife.

Another one bought his 94 year old mom a crystal bracelet!  I was really touched by that. 
If it wasn't this one, it was very similar. 

I am going to be ordering new supplies soon and adding some additional products for sale.   I used to make rosaries and I've been considering doing them again.  This is one I made for my husband years ago.   Except for the Swarovski crystals, the rest of the components were all from Jerusalem.  

Hope you are all enjoying a very happy New Year.  Wishing you fun times, good health, and much prosperity.
