    You have been given some great advice. So here's mine:
    coasters
    fabric postcards
    tissue covers (for tissue packets in purses)
    Other than that, I think you have a great assortment of items.
    I wouldn't waste my time making casserole carriers. My friend made one, thinking she would sell them at her booth and said too much work! She couldn't sell them for what she would have to charge.
    I like the idea of selling water bottles. And I like the bowl of candy. Just a little hard candy will bring people over. If you have an assortment, they will have to stand there to decide what kind to take. While there, you strike up a conversation and, before you know it...$$$ by golly! A sale!

    Burnsk, I have that saying and I laugh everytime I see it. I plan to make a wallhanging with it, but I haven't decided what material to use with it. Eiltcoq.

    I have done quite a few craft fairs, but our town is small, so I certainly don't see 1000 people. I usually have several small quilts for kids or throw size for adults, placemats and table runners, hot pads. I haven't made any totes, but that should be a good seller....use eyecatching colors and prints. Last time I did one, I had a real cute doll quilt, but no one was interested. I guess little girls don't play with real dolls any more. I ended giving it away at the end of the day to a cute little girl carrying a teddy bear! Bring plenty of change, a safe place to keep your money, and never leave your money to shop another booth!

    Susie if you go to the Picture Section of the Forum that is where the photo of the Grandma Paddle is. I hope this helps. They are really cute.

    I have enjoyed reading this thread.....great ideas! I just have to ask, though, about Uncle Dave Macon Days. I am from Macon Georgia and wonder who Uncle Dave is or was.
