I didn't get a chance to post yesterday as I was worn out! I had my first ever stall at my son's school fair on Saturday. I took £70 in sales in 4 hours I've worked it out roughly and after taking off the table fee (£7) and the materials, I've made about £30 profit

My best seller was the dog biscuits! I was up until 1.30am yesterday morning bagging up dog biscuits thinking to myself that I'd totally lost the plot. They were the first item I sold and all 8 packs had sold out in the first hour :rotfl:

I've got plenty of stock left and two more fairs at my daughters schools on the next two saturdays. I did try and take a photo of the stall, but camera batteries were dead, so I'll have to try again next week.

Thanks to everyone on this thread for all the support :)

As anyone got a pic of there dog biscuits bags and how much do you sell them for

bumpybecky

still no camera batteries and I sold them all anyway, so nothing to photograph! they were in a cello bag with a topper thingy, all of mine are white card with something printed on, corners rounded, folded over and double sided tape stuck down. I sold them at 50p per pack. I'm selling at school fairs, so trying to sell some cheaper bits. I'm also keeping everything to £1 or 50p multiples as it makes adding up and change easier

I'll be making more for this weekend so will try and photograph then.

dont be dis heartened with the poor turn out at the craft fair. personally i wouldn't turn out on a weekend with all that snow if it wasn't necessary.

I did a xmas market last week but luckily it was indoors and i was extremely pleased with the £410 i brought home but more pleasing was the empty spare room upstairs.. at last i can see the floor to clean up

I have been thinking about doing craft fayres too, but I haven't the nerve
Do people ever share stalls?
This thread is ever so inspiring
I'm doing a range of Christmas sock animals, but I wouldn't have enough stock to fill a stall.
