Craftalicious

So my freind Nadia has finished designing the poster for the craft sale - I think it looks pretty awesome! Two of my favourite fabrics are part of the design, gotta love that.


It seems real now! Any advice you have re: cheap ways to advertise is appreciated. So far, we've set it up as a facebook event, will be forwarding to our sellers this week so everyone can forward to their list of contacts, we'll be placing an ad in the community newspaper, and postering key areas. Anything we're missing? Our budget isn't grand, since we're hoping to charge very little for tables (we're thinking $30 per seller should about cover our costs).
In other news, today is day one of my sewing vacation. Too bad my baby is on day three of stomach flu-can't-keep-anything-down. Poor muffin. She's upstairs, sleeping it off in my sewing room, which is the room that can be made the darkest. And I'm down here, surfing when I'd rather be sewing. I've got a few hand projects to work on though so I'll pick those up and see what I can get through this morning.

It looks fantastic! Great job, Nadia!

I wish I had some advice, but marketing is not my forté!

It sounds to me like all the bases are covered.
