Compliments don't pay the bills!

Today was the big day of the Oktoberfest craft show. I got tons of compliments on the purses, however I only sold a few. The first to go was the garden clutch with the bee button, next was the Gator tote (like I said, I knew that one would sell) and the third was the nesting doll purse. Don't freak out, the nesting doll purse was marked as sold but someone else wanted me to make another one. So I technically still have the nesting doll purse in my posession until I deliver it to it's original intended owner.
The most looked at and complimented purse was the little mod black and white one. Everyone loves it but no one buys it. Weird. I even had one lady tell me that if the one I have sells, to make another one for her. Umm, okay, why wouldn't she just buy the one I was already selling? I think she was just trying to be nice? (Remember, I go to church with a lot of these people).

Anyhow, while I did sell some, I am overall in the red. Good thing I have a job waiting for me next year I guess!

Here's a picture of my little table:

Hey, if you didn't sell that large tote that I love, lemme know.

I will fight the intended owner for the nesting doll one.

Put them up on Etsy!I am sure they will sell.
