Guess what? I sold some lampwork beads to someone other than Anita. We went to the Holiday Craft Show sponsored by the East Ohio Lapidary Club. Anita set up and I helped with the Chinese Auction. Anita and one of the other club members talked me into selling some of my lampwork. I didn't know what to charge, so instead of putting a price on each bead, I put sets into medicine cups. The ones like the cups that come with NyQuil and cough syrups. We decided on $10 per set. I actually sold three sets today. I didn't set up a table but used a small corner of Anita's. Thank you, Anita, I couldn't have done it without your help and encouragement. She even made sure that people noticed them and then showed customers what she makes with my beads. What a wonderful friend!
We are there again tomorrow. Don't know if I will sell more, but was happy with just selling three.

ReplyDeleteAnita is a gem. I so wish I had a local friend like that again...all mine have passed on and it can be hard to make new friends at 61.
I am so proud that you sold your beads! Great encouragement for you to continue.

Yes, Anita is a gem. I don't make friends easily either. Too shy and withdraawn I guess.
DeleteDon't like selling things at all. I would rather give them away, but at some point, I will have to sell some.
I gave most of my earlier ones to the Rustbelt Theatre Group, because the director makes items to fund the Theatre. It made me feel good to do so.
Hugs,
