Small, low priced items seem to sell best in most areas such as church bazaars and small town shows. Hot pads, mug rugs, dog and cat toys, collars, and leashes, place mats, table runners, aprons, place mats, wall quilts, baby items, covers for journals, Nooks, phones, etc. bags for laptops, small purses/bags, etc. etc.

First, good luck on going to a Holiday Fair with your items. For the grocery bags, I would charge $3-$5/ which is what most of them cost in the grocery fair, or you could charge a little more. For the previous 2 years I had a table at my church's Holiday Fair and I charged $35 for my quilted Bow Tucks bags, which sold quickly both years; then I also had placemats and table runners which I priced at $25, $30 for larger table runners, and $25 for Christmas wall hangings. I know I could have charged more at a larger fair, however, I was very happy with how well I did. Not sure how I'll do this year as shoulder problems have limited my sewing/quilting time, but I still have another month. Good luck.
