RE: Lamenting the cost of doing business, and who do you do business with? Happy #NeedleworkMonday!
Love these! They are totally adorable and I know they would look great on any table!! I think etsy probably is the way to go. You could always sell them to the consignment place and lower your price so when they mark it up, it's more appropriate... But then you're losing out. You should see if your church or something would have a craft show. I set one up one year at our church and it wasn't bad. I got a lot of people to sign up to come (make up, jewelry, at home businesses) and charged each of them $10-25 for their booth space which went to the church ministries. Anyway, maybe there is a craft show in your area where you could sell them at some point during the year too! :)
Aww, thank you! I thought about dropping the price for consignment just so they'd be reasonable enough to tempt people but that's not exactly sustainable for me! Not if I want to use nice fabric, anyway. With all the suggestions for craft shows or flea markets I'm leaning toward giving it another shot if I can get enough inventory made up to make it worth it. I'm a little gun shy after my one and only craft show selling experience (dismal) a couple Christmases ago, but I did come away with lessons learned and I might as well put them to use sometime!
I never had much luck selling at craft shows either, but I always enjoyed going to them. ;)
Oh gosh, at the one where I tried selling, I wandered around and spent way more money on everybody else's stuff than I made! (facepalm)
