It's that time of year...

Craft show season wheeeeeeeee!

I got invited to do a farmer's market a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I had to turn it down since it is outdoors and my soaps etc will melt in the sun.

Last night I got another invite to another craft fair. I'm going to go for this one. I can get an indoor spot for $35. But the money has to be there by 10/15. I emailed the lady back asking if I could pay that via paypal instead of check since I was worried the check wouldn't get there by then. It's in Hudson (around Crystal River/Dade City/San Antonio area). A 35 mile hike. It will be worth it. I just need to get my name out there more. So projects on my radar for the next few weeks are finishing up making peach lip balm, strawberry lip balm, and wild berry lip balm. Making more Amber Dreams soy candles. Pineapple candles and lotion bars. Strawberry jam candles and lotion bars (complete with red glitter for the holidays!).

I need to hit the lottery so I can afford to make a ton of stuff LOL

Right now running a special on the Etsy site. All candles $3 through 11/18. I've had the sale running for a few weeks but no takers yet. I'm thinking everyone is holding their money for closer to the holidays.

I also purchased a mailing list and had postcards mailed out to 100 people. Those were mailed out mid-September. No nibbles yet.

It will all happen when I least expect it. That much I know. Success isn't something that happens overnight. You have to bust your ass to get there.

One of the other things I've signed up for is a business card trading group on Etsy. This way when people there sell something they will include my card in the purchase. Helps us all get more exposure. I'm taking my huge biz card holder with me to the craft show to display my cards and the other cards people have sent me.
