If you two didn't sell anything, I bet the other vendors didn't fair to well either then because you two are stiff competition for any artists. How is the website doing?

Great looking display! Noticed there seems to be a lot of competition in the finished jewelry category in the shows we've been taking birds to. Your wraps look great and I'm sure it's just a matter of getting exposure and you'll be doing swell....mel

But the exposure is great. The wraps are beautiful.

it sure wasn't your display or your jewelry as they look great. my mom tried selling some jewelry in her bookstore and folks looking to buy a book and curl up are more likely interested in reading glasses and slippers than jewelry at the time. might be the same at a plant store - yard items are on their mind. long as they were looking you did good!

I don't understand why didn't you sell anything. The quality of wrapping is not the one to blame, that's for sure. Keep trying. Adrian

Thank you all. We feel the exposure with a different kind of crowd was worth it. We really didnt expect to make much money there. Just getting ourselves seen is what is important right now. Although it can be discouraging at the time to not get any sales, later we can look back and think of the different types of people we exposed ourselves to, that we can't do going to a jewelry show or flea market. Thanks again.
