Progress

So in yet another example of my advertising after the fact, I was in a craft fair today.

It did not go well because it was very sparsely attended. Few people displaying work actually recouped the amount spent to reserve the booths, let alone the cost of materials or time.

I didn’t sell anything that I made. I did however make back the reservation amount by selling some pieces of marble that I was using as display pieces to another crafter. She thought they were a great idea for displaying jewelry and insisted on buying them for $5 each.

There are three ways of looking at this…

1) Self-deprecating: “People would rather buy rocks than my work!”

2) Self-aggrandizing: “I’m so talented, I can sell rocks to people for $5 a pop!”

3) Bemused: “Heh, I sold rocks today.”

I think the third option is the best.

Better luck next time.
