It's been months since I last posted. Now that the annual Lincoln Center's Autumn Craft Festival http://www.craftsatlincoln.org/index.html is behind me I can get back to a regular schedule. Really! More on Lincoln Center!
This year's event was less foot traffic mainly due to a forecast of bad weather (Matthew looming above us), and Lincoln Center closing us down on the final day of the show (also due to inclement weather). Naturally we were disappointed, but this is the risk you take when vending outside.
Nevertheless, all was not lost. My team and I were happy to greet the customers including many return ones who shopped for themselves and others. The colorful scented felted soaps continued to be a good seller as a great gift item, as well as the felted scarves. Of course, losing that one day left me with a more inventory than anticipated but I already have plans to take part in 2 more events during the holidays. I will host an event in Jersey City on Dec 10th, and take part in a local holiday event in my town on Dec 11th. Stay tuned for more details.
My 2nd collection of Josie's Cloth Collectible dolls was a big hit again for the 2nd year so if you're in the market to buy a gift for a "doll collector" or someone who appreciates cloth dolls check my work out. The dolls were a big attraction and got people into my booth even if they were not spending money.
