Still exhausted
I need some time to get used to this selling-on-a-fair thing. On Sunday we woke up at 4:30 am, to get to Budapest in time. We got there well before it started, which was nice, so we had time to set up our booth. Do not think anything fancy though.
As you see, I don’t have a huge stock. But it is all I could do besides my three jobs and family, in a few months time.
I was half asleep all day long. No matter the six coffees I had. I’ve been crocheting all day, to show the craft, and to pass my time. I have manged to finish up three bracelets and one necklace, which I brought with me, and started and finished one bracelet on the spot.
My hubby was so patient, he was there sitting with me, helping whenever I needed.
I didn’t need too much help though…. We had not even one buys until 3pm!!! Thousands of people were passing by, asking, touching, complementing, but none of them bought anything. We were quite dissappointed, even I had tried to prepare myself for this.
Then I said to my DH, listen, I bet we will sell out in between 5 and 6. And this was the case. We made a nice profit in an hour, just before the market closed. At 6 pm I was tailoring a necklace for a lady, who came back to buy her second! And she even ordered two more for April.
All the sellers had the same problem. I guess because this was the first event after the winter, and everyone was just eye-candying. Next time it will be outside, where a lot of people passes by, and hopefully we will make better. I will definitely go in April again.
We were quite happy at the end, but sadly, this will not make me to go to the silver clay course. I have to cancel it tomorrow. My heart is bleeding. Sigh….
Gosh, there were so many beautiful things! I had a walk around a few times, and I saw such clever and beautifully created things! I’m so glad that we have so many talented people around!
I have received an e-mail from a girl who makes lampwork beads (literally the one in Hungary, who does it professionally). She and her friend is setting up a homepage, something like Etsy, for Hungarian crafters. She asked me if I wanted to join, and of course I said YES!! I hope many of the crafters from the WAMP will join this site, they things would sell like sugar, I’m sure.
