I had a sale last aug. All quilting/sewing/rug hooking/fabric/wool stuff. There was a line outside 20 deep before I even opened the door and it didn't stop for 3 days. I did VERY well and had alot of fun. :thumbup:

I have enough granny squares crocheted to make 2 nice twin afghans...boys don't want them now, so off it all goes....fleece to make jackets, fabric for SCA garb, millions of wooden shapes I will never get around to painting(did these in the 90's)...sooo much stuff...has to go...
SO, I am having a crafter's delight sale!

Would it be like our rummage sales at church -- we all buy each others "stuff" and then take it back the next year so they can sell it again. LOL

I think this is a good idea maybe 10 or so tables there are usually that many of us in an area and invite all the quilt guilds in the areas we could make some serious cash. Instead of a craft show we have a sewing sale

I tried having a yard sale once but as I was setting up I kept noticing things that I really liked or couldn't part with the excuses go on and on--So I did the only 2 options left-1 -Every thing came back into the house-2-I went Yard Sailing {not a typo} I sailed thru my comm. and into a couple more :-P But all of you that can sale are a true Blessing for the rest of us :lol: :lol:
