A Promising Day

Yesterday was the tag sale at my daughter's school. People were invited to come in a sell their goods, be it crap they have from home that they want to get rid of or honest to goodness handmade crafts, like mine.

Set up began at 7:30am and I arrived at about 7:50am.....not knowing of course whether or not I would have any competition. It turned out that I had no competition and that was fine with me although I neglected to acknowledge that most everyone who would be at this tag sale was looking to pay next to nothing for what they wanted. I stood my ground on all but one of my pieces that I sold. It was one of my favorite necklaces, sterling silver with green amethyst. I had it marked at $100 and the woman asked if I was open to negotiate, so I sold it to her for $75. I wouldn't normally do something like that, but I was just as happy to make $75 as I was to make $100. It was a profitable day so I can't complain one bit.

Everyone who bought an item from me left very happy that they stumbled into my little shop. I was also asked if I might create a jewelry set for the school's silent auction in May. Granted I won't make a dime off of it, but my name will get out there and hopefully there will be some interest in my products from the school community. We'll see. Here are a few shots of what I sold at the tag sale.

So, am I back in business yet? Perhaps. It was a promising day a the tag sale that turned out to be much more profitable than I had first envisioned. So maybe that itch to start selling my products again will be too much to ignore.....we'll see.

Until next time......

Thanks for reading!
