Toying With An Idea

CW & I took the Goobers to a local Art Fair (yeah..it was dumb but...)last Saturday. We went to meet up with a couple of his friends from out of state that he hasn't seen in a long time. Unfortunately the stupid thing started at 11AM (we got there around 11:15AM) and NOBODY, I mean NOBODY was fully set up! Not the sellers, vendors and even the local shops were unprepared for the crowd. What the..?!?! A couple good things came out of this though: CW got to talk (albeit briefly as the children were VERY hungry) to one of his friends, we scored a 1983 mint Godzilla for the eldest Goob for his impending Godzilla Birthday Party and the reason I am bloggin: possible selling of some crafts.

See, as we walked and scanned the half set up booths...I realized, "
I can make this crap!" Not that what people were hocking was crap..well...LOTS of it was but...some stuff was truly made by artisans of their craft. Anyway, so now I have been toying with the idea of making some stuff and seeing how it would sell at these arty farty shindigs. LOL! Okay, so I probably shouldn't deem them as such but this particular Art Fair...ugh! All it needed was a Goth Drag Queen singing ABBA!

But what to sell?! Aprons, totes, children's clothing, quilts, a combination? Something to mull around and decide if it would be something worth investing time and money into. Hmmm...

I think it's more interesting if people are selling unique, one of a kind items. ;) so just set up a table, fill it with stuff, and get goin'! :)
