The black ink is drying!
Five vendors held an Artisan Af-FAIR at my home yesterday amidst food, friends and fun.

Sales averaged $100 a seller. Modest to good if I say so myself!

We kept expenses very low by volunteering for various tasks:
1. Donating snack trays and drinks for guests;
2. Donating goody bags to hand out for visitors who brought a coupon we distributed with a flyer in prior weeks
3. Making and posting street signs for about 1 mile in 3 directions.

I also provided a nice lunch for my sellers. We played radio music in lieu of finding a live musician.

These are new crafting buddies in my internet group the "California Crafters Club of Etsy".

I made a pin for each to wear, to serve as an easy lead in for offering a visitor a business card or coupon to their internet shop.
