Each one will be a learning experience. Enjoy them!<br /><br />Erin - I also only do one show a year with a cultural center that I am happy to support. You should go for the second show, it never hurts to try and see how it goes. <br /><br />Good luck everyone on finding shows and selling your jewelry.Heather Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555102264780529839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-1844309475106862662009-04-15T15:27:00.000-04:002009-04-15T15:27:00.000-04:00Great tips Heather!

I am considering the Festival of the Arts that is similar in February/March (that would be enough of a separation). I try to focus my search on events like that in which the purchases will help a cause I support. Your clientele sound just like mine! If I had the wherewithall (is that a word?) I would travel to larger cities and have oodles of time to create my masterpieces...but for now, galleries and high end boutiques are going to be my focus. But all great tips in case I decide to enter farther afield. Enjoy the day!

My best business comes from art walks and gallery open houses, and from shows that I host in my own home.<br /><br />For my home shows, I team up with my friend who sells Mary Kay, or with a Papered Chef person, or a person selling other quality items. This way, we benefit from each other's mailing lists. We serve finger foods and refreshments, and have a great time. You can bet the ladies that come are ready to buy!<br /><br />AliceAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545020113679133121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-91713517747066270272009-04-14T16:10:00.000-04:002009-04-14T16:10:00.000-04:00Thanks so much for the great info!
