2 Weekends, 2 Craft Shows

The very first craft show I did for Snapdragon was not a resounding success.  I only sold four earrings.  And that was over 2 days.

I learned a lot though, and applied it to this past Saturday's show, which was a lot better.  There was a pretty good crowd until later in the afternoon.  I sold seven earrings and a necklace and gave away a lot of business cards.  

I have two more shows in two weekends and I'm hopeful about both.  I may sign up for a couple shows in December.

I haven't sold anything online yet, but I should get some more traffic from doing shows.  I'll keep you guys posted.

All the pieces are coming together

It's amazing how a lot of things in your life can be going kind of terribly, but when one thing just works it brightens your day or week or whatever.  Creating Snapdragon Designs Ltd. has been that for me.  

I ordered a stamp, have business cards printed, tagged and labeled my jewelry, and acquired bags; I am ready to do this!  My first craft show is tomorrow and I'm excited and a bit nervous.  I'm still doing some last minute prep work, but I'm kind of amazed how it's now all put together, branded, and ready.

On a related note, if you haven't seen the website lately, you should check it out: Snapdragon Designs Ltd. I redid the PayPal stuff and have added some more items.

Man, I'm really glad I've had the chance to start to make a business out of this.  Having this to work on has mercifully kept me busy at a time when I'd be rather depressed without it.  Anyway, just wanted to give y'all a quick update.  I'll let you know how the show goes.
