Craft Fairs

 I hear "You should sell your items at craft fairs!"
I have tried.
 I'm always disappointed.
 Then I wonder...
 Is $5 too much for an item which took several hours to make?
 Sometimes that $5 wouldn't even cover the cost of materials.
Then, I also have booth costs.
These are all items which I've tried to sell at craft fairs.
I think they are all cute and something I think should sell.
Obviously, they didn't sell.
I guess I'll have to give them to someone.
Or use them myself.
I wonder if they'd sell better somewhere else.
 Mom's bags have sold well at craft fairs and on consignment in a local store, although she had to give the store a cut and didn't make nearly as much.
I sold a shoulder bag to a friend, but I'm not sure I want to sell many at a friend's discount price. So, I'm not happy with craft fair results, but I'll probably keep trying.
