I FINALLY found some time to get started on my holiday inventory. Every year I do a few craft shows, and every year I find myself stressed out to make enough inventory. My challenge is that the things that sell at craft shows are
not the same things that I stock my Etsy Shop with.

I've found that people like holiday themed, small and inexpensive stuff. Every year I tend to go overboard and have too much of a variety, so this year I'm keeping it simple. I'm focusing in on a few things that I think will sell well and have more quantity of those particular items.
LESS IS MORE!
The plan this year (I thought) was to get a head start by starting to prepare in early September. Well, here we are more than 1/2 way through and I
just started this weekend! Oh well, it's better than October, I suppose.....
So here is a sample of I was doing all weekend...
 |
| Wall/Door Signs |
 |
| Quilted Patchwork Bibs (awesome scrap-buster) |
 |
| Patchwork Dish Mats |
 |
| Pin-tuck Pillow Covers |
 |
| Holiday Signs |
These were my "prototypes", and I'm pretty happy with the results. So now I just need to focus my energy on quantity!
I am thinking about doing a couple of craft shows this season, any tips you can share? I keep hearing keep it simple and most want to pick up cute small items.
