Doing a craft fair!
#71
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!

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!
