    One thing about bookmark - I'm getting so many that I'll have to start putting one in every book on my shelf. Seriously, just how many can you use?

    CLOCKS (really!!!) Check out the book, ;Fast, Fun &Easy Creative Fabric Clocks" - I can guarantee no one else will be selling them at your event! These sell well at fundraisers and bazaars.

    I bought some pot holders at a craft fair and loved them. They're the style where you can insert your fingers in one side, your thumb in the other. They're actually quite small and thus easy to handle. I bought some Insulbright now and am going to use them as a template to make my own. I think they sold for $5-6.

    I have always done well with a themed items - Christmas decor items (especially ornaments), fall decor items, Easter decor items, 4th of July, etc. Think seasonal decorations, hostess gifts, family or friend mini-gifts, office desk keepsake etc. and think about what you would give or like to get.

    Fit your products to the season and group by color/theme not by type of item. They display well at your booth and people know 'why' they are buying the the item they choose.

    EOS best sellers were pouch bags (coin,cosmetic,change)...different sizes. Also aprons. Mother /daughter. 2 of each sized worked good for me at Christmas for sisters and cammo for boys and men. Bib and waist both sold as well.

    I would suggest rice bags also, but we use feed corn like you feed animals, heat for 1 1/2 min or freezer. Everyone that gets one loves them. Also, I use the plastic lids from jars make two big circles like a saucer or dessert plate and another one inch bigger. Place the larger one on top with the lid in the middle of the sandwich fill the lid with fiber fill and sew around the lid (hand sew) it will form a hat use scrapes of ribbon, ric rac, etc. to decorate your hat pin cushion.
