    An absolutely fabulous family experience❣️❣️❣️ plus all that stuff that’s just what is sad around unused little bits of this and that and set that falls on the ground, you three put to use and profit😱👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. And such incredible memories and your boys are so enthusiastic and they enjoy everything that you enjoy about about it and talk about getting into the Christmas spirit. I am just so happy for you all, and Philip must just be smiling with such pride, and love for his family. Again excellent job Miami mind blowing Lee great job. Oh and I love the cloths you made to cover your table so perfect so your family and so cheap and reusable. It’s fabulous. I’m sure you all brought the Christmas spirit out of others there too, and that’s the best part of all and it wasn’t just you or you and your hubby trying to make some money. It was a mother and her sons with the support of her husband their father doing a project together and bringing your own boys to the sale. Their attitude and joy just was like not just the icing on the cake, but the cherry and sprinkles to.🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘
    MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS ENGLISH FAMILIA🎅🏼🤶🏼🎄🎁✨

    @mimiso2522 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thank you Elysia. My sister and I used to do flea markets. One time a woman in a neighboring stall came up to us and told us not to approach the buyer because it pressures them into buying. So we sat back and did what the woman said and sales dropped at our stall and the "helpful neighbor" started socializing with the buyers. We were duped. We went back to greeting people and sales went up again.

      We stay for respect of the host. I find it rude when vendors leave early no matter how much they have sold. I have ran events before so I know how much time goes into each preparation!

    Congrats! Great success and well done knowing what drives sales. My best markets were always those where I had lots of ornaments and stocking stuffer items, along with a few specialty gift or decor items at a higher price point. So wonderful to see the boys so engaged in creating and selling! They were clearly enjoying themselves. Fantastic project.

    Brilliant result, Elysia. I had no doubt whatsoever that you would absolutely rock the show. Congratulations. And thank you for the tour of the other stalls. It really stood out to me that almost all vendors reflected the location (i.e. Nova Scotia) in their offerings. It really warmed my heart to see how enthusiastically the public supports makers and crafters in your community. Can’t wait to see what you will produce for your new website shop! Love from Ireland!

    I think that everything you said Elysia was so 100% right on and exact!!! I have what I think might be one or two great ideas! LOLOL. Can you work on ornaments for more of this winter…. Even if you need a little break. Then, have some that Chase and Dayton do mostly on their own and let them get their own table next year for like $5 ornaments (You could even do this online) and then they can work their own table next to yours. They can sell just the stuff that they made and that would be a great draw! They can sell whatever might be left over online on your site after the sale as you could. They could make their own money for college or their savings accounts. You can be on a table right next to them. They can do more simple sea themed type merchandise as could you! Or just you can do more of the difficult things like the boats and some of the other stuff that is more difficult. You could do just a few things that are more expensive than even your second to highest amount. The people that aren’t mailing them can purchase those. And if your table was on the empty side in the last half hour to an hour then the market can probably support or absorb the cost of the two tables of the things that you have to sell! Lots of possibilities and options for you guys! And if you put 2023 on the new type of sea themed (or other) things people will repeat buy as long as they are different enough. I went online and purchased some of your ornaments (4) and I will continue to buy ornaments from you next year if they are kinda different and have a year painted on them. Even different colors. I should have been a business major instead of a nurse (just kidding), but I even have more ideas unless I told you them all. But an extra $900 or $1000 plus for your barn and corral and food and anything else for your horses is really a lot of money!!! Just think of what a vet costs! Anyways, no matter what you decide, I wish you and your family all the best! You might want to have a family round table to discuss it! LOLOL. Have a wonderful week!!!
    I typed the above with a minute or two left and you have already thought of some of the stuff that I put on here. Great minds…. lol just kidding!

    Looks like a waited for day from many locals. The Blue Heron is beautiful 😍
    I'm so tickled you did so well. Now is the time you need to make notes of what sold for you and others, if it's something you can incorporate into the future. If you had any seahorses left I would be interested in. I was raised in a small town in Massachusetts that had a seahorse as a town mascot 💜

    It bothers me So much when artisans are on their phone instead of presenting their work. And another pet peeve of mine is artisans eating at their table. So greasy and yucky and unprofessional.
