Thanks Sue;

I couldn't remember where I saw that thread, so I started a new one.
 
What exactly do you do and how does this work? I have a Farmer's Market here as well but am fairly new so I am not familiar with what you do exactly?

Thanks

This was my first weekend at the Farmer's Market.

Yesterday was terrible :cry::cry: There weren't many people coming through
so no orders or sales. I was told by the other vendors that it takes time to
become established and the sales will come.

Today, was a totally different story.:sing: I received two orders and a woman really wants the cookware and she is going to make up her mind between a catalog show or cooking show. She was going to talk to her husband and some of her friends to see which be better.

Also, a couple of people wanted a catalog so they could order from my website. I will let you know how it goes :)
