Thanks to my Mom, Bee, Val and Dav for helping and thanks to my family who came to support me :D
I had the cutest little girl as my first customer. She bought a froggy ring but she was a little bit camera shy and I couldn't get a good photo. She's the daughter of one of the ladies of

I heard two japanese girls repeatedly saying "kawaii" as they chatted in Japanese and looked at all the cute stuff on my table. It made me giggle.
I sold a handbag! Yippee!
I had a customer tell me that the little girl on my business card looks like me. Which is good because it is me!
Lesson learned: always check your money. I paid a toonie ($2) to learn this lesson. Actually, I'm not sure if it was a customer who gave me this or if it was in the roll that I got from the bank. Anyone know what the coin on the left is? I can't even read it.
Update! I figured it out with the help of some people in the Etsy forums. It's a Thai coin. 10 Baht. Worth about $0.30 haha
It was a good experience and I look forward to my next show at the end of March. :)
Hopefully I will get around to photo taking this week and get some new stuff in the
webshop.

Thank you! Bye,

Loved your table at the Market! And My daughter loves her little ring - although it seems to have disappeared already, she has a habit of hiding things around the house. I'm sure it will turn up soon and I will try to snag a better picture for you :) Thanks for the link to my etsy shop, I'll be sure to link back. Hope to see you at another craft fair soon. If you have a minute, please check out the forum on my website: http://www.ladybonesonline.com/forum If you scroll down to the bottom, there is a category about the craft business where you can share tips and experiences, post craft fair dates, advertise your own shops etc. I JUST set this up, so I'm sure it will take some time to get going, but I will be inviting all the vendors at every craft fair, so hopefully it will catch on and we can all learn from each other.
Thanks again :)
