Craft Show
This weekend I did a craft show in Housatonic, Ma. Friday night it was from 6pm to 9pm and Saturday it was from 10am to 1pm. There was more of a crowd Friday night than there was Saturday. I made some new contacts for networking, which always make me happy. I found that there are more people out and looking at things than there are people buying things. That is the way you find good ideas for presents for christmas and birthday.

A Craft Show in Vermont
I was invited to go to a craft show in Vermont with my best friend and her mom. First there was an entrance fee. We stopped and looked at some jewelry, leather booths,wildlife picture booth and some food booths. I could not believe some of the prices that people were charging for things. I did see some nice jewelry and I did get a few new ideas.
One lady did some nice polymer clay necklaces, and bracelets. I asked her if she made them all herself and she said that she did. I also asked if she would consider just selling some of them that she makes and she got mad and said that she does not sell them. She was very rude about it.
I love pocketbooks and wallets. I had stopped at a few leathers booth because I had wanted a small leather handbag to carry everything in. The cheapest one I found started at sixty dollars. Sorry, I do not have that type of money to spend on a bag.
I love animals most especially wolves. I saw a few pictures of wolves, wolves eyes and some wild cats. The pictures started at two hundred and fifty and went up. Too expensive for my taste and my budget.
As for the food part that was expensive too. For a soup mix it was five dollars and it said it served four people but actually would have served two for a good bowl of soup. Some of the dips that I tried were really good but they where three for ten. plus you still had to buy the sour cream and what ever else you want for it.
After looking at this show I have decided that I will not go back next year. But the good thing I realize that my prices for my jewelry are very reasonable. I cannot believe some of the prices that they were charging.
