Holy cow that is a bunch of pendants. I really struggle to get around 75 ready for each show but honestly pendants are usually a very small percentage of my sales at shows so I concentrate on other things. My biggest question is do you put price tags on every piece?
I only do rock and mineral shows because its a great time just chatting with all the other vendors that are into the same things I am. I tried one craft show at a church but felt very out of place there.
Kind of a funny story but I have a friend that always has the most impressive booth at every show and the last time I talked with her she was telling me that just for kicks she signed up to do a full booth selling her rock jewelry at a comic-con convention. She told me she made twice as much as she has ever made a rock and gem show. She said she loved it because nobody there was selling anything that competed with her stuff. She really got a kick out of all the people's costumes too so it sounded like a fun time.

My husband is a sci fi model and comic geek. I've been to more comic shows than rock shows. Rock people are great, but the comic people I have met are really great, too. |

I sold a more hearts then then pendants , one repeat customer from last year . And gave a lot of the sliced dyed agates and crystals and a few of Biker Randy's little cap pendants to all the kids that came and had a look at my booth around 100 plus happy faces . And a few parents that were confused why I was giving them away for free.
But I sold a lot of resin turtles , owls and cat skull and little jars of my tumbled rocks.
