My First Sales Event and Recap of the Weekend!

Thank you for all the support and comments over the weekend on facebook and twitter about the show, it means so so much to read your comments and feedback! I couldn't wait to share my photos from the event on Friday with you all, see below!



The display was a HIT and it was amazing to see people's reactions as they walked by my table. I sold a good amount of my items, met some really awesome people, got the email addresses of my customers, and handed out so many business cards! My mom and I became instant friends with the woman and her daughter-in-law sitting at the table next to us, and just had a really great time :)
Thank you again for all your encouragement!!

On Saturday, I picked up some new fabrics for pillows since they seemed to have "flown off the shelf"!



I love them all and can't wait to see the pillows!

This weekend, I also decided to try something new, photographing my items at the beach - I have realized that on Etsy, and other online marketplaces, it's all about the photography so I gave this a go!


What do you think??

Thanks for reading everyone, and Happy Monday to you!

  7. THANKS!! I think the beach photography is a go - it's just transporting the items in my little jetta to the beach, and now, in the cold!

  8. Love the shots taken on the beach..., the products look fabulous..., and I got all excited! And that's what you want. Not that I'm thinking of buying anything..., with planning on selling our home that's just not a good idea right now. But I do believe in presentation for sure.

  9. Your table looks fantastic!! It sounds like you had a good show, and that you met some good new clients!

    I also love the new fabrics you picked up...especially the one with the fancy typography on it (I'm a sucker for fonts. :-) And naturally, I'm loving the beach shots. I mean...it's totally shore chic!! The colors and detail of your work also seems to "pop" really well against the white tablecloth you used at the event, too.
