I am so excited right now! I went to a small vendor fair at someone's house today. I was invited last minute (Friday). I have done a couple of school vendor fairs but they have always turned out to be a bust. I decided to do this one as I don't have many shows booked right now. I am so glad I did! I had around $100 in sales and 4 bookings! I was so surprised! I even talked to a couple of people that may be interested in the opportunity. One of them was one who booked. I'm really excited about that. Last month was really horrible for me and I kind of lost my enthusiasm. This definitely gave me the shot in the arm that I needed!
 
Congrats! What a great use of a Sunday!
 
Congratulations! I just love it when something good like that happens in my business! That is the way I am going into our Interstate Fair here in September ~ with the attitude that I'm going to gain a lot from doing it!
Great job booking those shows! It feels so good when you are having a rough time to all the sudden have such a great success!:D
 
That's wonderful! CONGRATULATIONS! :)
 
Congratulations on your successful vendor fair! It's always exciting to see your hard work pay off with bookings and sales. I'm glad you took a chance on this last-minute opportunity and it ended up being a great success for you. Keep up the great work and I'm sure your enthusiasm will continue to grow. Best of luck with your future shows and bookings!
