Re: Fire Mountain?

Congrats on the good experience Cindy! I was terrified when I did my first
show, so much that I remember my hands were shaking as I handed someone
change from my first sale ever. I had Linda2 as my show buddy though and
she's plenty experienced in shows which helped a lot (she also had to twist
my arm to go!).

The craft show was this past Sunday. Very small turnout and not many
vendors either, but it was really more of a little festival with
entertainment (bad!) and food (good!). It was my first time and I was
so nervous! But, I had a lot of lookers and actually sold a bit,
including the first bracelet I ever made. I cleared enough to pay for
the canopy I sent my son out for, lol. My mom was one of the people
running the festival and they had a tarp-like covering that was
absolutely horrible. The wind kept knocking it down. So, cell phone
and son to the rescue!

I got some very encouraging comments, even from one of the other
jewelry vendors. So, now to find some events in Virginia and try it
again closer to home.

Thanks for asking!

Thanks Karen! Going to go check these sites out now. I think I'll be
passing on Halsteadbead.com for now. Most of my purchases are under
$30 at a time for now. Maybe someday . . .

Doing my first craft/flea market type of thing next weekend. It's a
little local festival near my mom. Tables are only $10, so that should
give you some idea of what the market will be. I've never tried to
sell my stuff before but these people pretty much all know my mom, so
they'll be nice, lol. At least that's what I'm telling myself so I'm
not so nervous. Anyway, they are 10 hours away from where I live, so
it's not like I have to face them every day, LOL.

I dislike FMG for many reasons. Quality is definitely one of them.

If you want a good "bang" <G> I highly recommend Monsterslayer.com.
They're great to deal with, have excellent prices, and a good website.
Halsteadbead.com is great, too, but they're wholesale only and require
a
$100 minimum order. I've gotten good results with CGMfindings.com as
well, but their paper catalog gives me a headache. (You can order a
catalog off their website, if you're feeling brave.)
