Togglewire Goes to the Craft Fair

Mark you calendar for April 10 - to come out an support Togglewire at the Rogers MOPs Craft Fair. It's my first time to sell at craft fair. It's a small fair - about 40 booths.

Preparing for the craft fair has been a big learning experience. In the past to sell my jewelry, I've hosted open houses / trunk sales at my house. They are pretty easy to plan for because for the most part it's friends or co-workers stopping by.

Next time, I know to ask if the craft fair will be limited to crafters / artisians. Much to my surprise there will be independent consultants for things like Scentsy and Pampered Chef selling their wares. I was very disappointed to learn that it wasn't just a craft fair.

I'm pretty excited though because I have some great pieces - you can see some of the on the Togglewire fan page on Facebook. What doesn't sell will go up on my Etsy store at http://www.togglewire.etsy.com/.
