One thing about gearing up for a craft fair is that the fear of the unknown is always in the back of your mind. If you were selling items that you didn't make yourself I feel like you would be less attached and there for only worry about making money to cover expenses. Selling things you have worked hard on opens up a new level of worry.
It doesn't matter if it is nerves or excitement each fair is an experience. I am gearing up for the 25th Annual Sourwood Festival in Black Mountain, NC. This will be my first festival of the year and I always worry I don't have enough stock. I have been coming close to making two hats a day for the last two weeks and I still feel that I will run short. I wish I could say that I believe I will sell out, but the fear is actually that I will not have enough for people to look at. I have also been working on displays. My display last year was cute and whimsical, but it had three flaws. It only held three hats, it was large and it was heavy. This year's display has all new possibilities.
I have two more days of pricing, making, sorting, and organizing everything that I have made. I unfortunately also need to clean and pack. Life it seems is never short on stuff to do.
Ta Ta for now.
