Feeling under the weather
.
Yesturday I was feeling really under the weather which is why I didn’t write. No, I wasn’t feeling sick, I was just feeling a little depressed and rather near tears.
The fair last weekend didn’t go as well as I had hoped. Don’t get me wrong it was a beautiful place, there were lots of visitors too but the average age must have been 60! So, ok, I might be exagerating, but not much!!!! That age groupe is not simply not interested in my bags. They are not my taget customer either. So I just sat there and smiled and listened to their stories about what they sew and how a few years back everything was much cheaper. To no surprise I didn’t sell much. It felt like a waste of time. Especially as it’s over an hour drive from Frankfurt. At some fairs in the past I haven’t sold much but have given loads of cards out so I’ve felt that although the sales weren’t necessarliy god, it was great publicity, but this fair wasn’t even that. So I don’t think that I shall participate again next year. I also hope that the other fairs that I have booked from now until Christmas will be better. I do think so, most are Fashion Fairs rather than Arts & Craft fairs, and there my bags are much more appreicated. Anyway, here are a couple of pictures, now lets never mention it again!
