Friday night, we set up the stand that my neighbor lent us - how great is that! He sets up huge sets for congresses, so this was small potatoes for him but a huge help for Ursel and me.
Herr Zoellner's son was a helper, too, so obviously, set up is child's play!
Saturday morning at 9 we got busy filling the shelves and the table with all our wares. Looking good! Ursel and I..
and with her nieces Ilke and Christina who made all the felted bags.
Pretty necklaces,
Yeah, well, it obviously looked a lot better to us than it did to the folks who came to the show because we didn't sell much at all - at all !! It was the wrong venue for us; everyone else there was a professional with shops of their own and commercial goods for sale.
But it was an experience and we'll consider a different venue in the future. Meanwhile, I have a pile of pillow covers and assorted stockings. Thursday I'm off to a shop in the little artists' village of Fischerhude to see if the Christmas things at least could be sold there on commission.
Getting started in selling is not so easy, we've found.
