This is fantastic how you went through things and commented on things. I'm glad you had a good time and hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip to Madison!PersimonDreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105015955842841242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773745495682976010.post-16690217465001113682010-08-17T09:36:09.901-07:002010-08-17T09:36:09.901-07:00What a wonderful write up!

I had not done a craft show in over 20 years, and that was back in Europe when I was young and hip (now I'm only slightly less hip and much younger) - this was a truly fun experience. I could not believe the lines either. A great shout out to Naomi! Note to self: must look into the Propay thing.Clay Imageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975795346252988381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773745495682976010.post-61616478991371287292010-08-17T07:38:03.641-07:002010-08-17T07:38:03.641-07:00Wish I could have been there but enjoyed the show ...Wish I could have been there but enjoyed the show through you.

Now...just waiting for it to work and stuffs. Can't wait!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091511341761293939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773745495682976010.post-55686782125953831822010-08-16T21:56:53.691-07:002010-08-16T21:56:53.691-07:00I had that very discussion with a vendor at our Se...I had that very discussion with a vendor at our Second Saturday art walk this weekend. The woman works with her aunt, who makes these crazy-but-awesome-looking ceramic animals. We were trying to tell her that she could easily charge twice what she was (and I heard random comments along those same lines). The niece totally agreed, but it was ultimately the aunt's decision. The aunt was aware of it, too, but she was so worried about not making sales and used the recession as an excuse. At her current price point, she practically sells out every month... which I said would probably guarantee that even a 50% increase would work. I also tried to argue the concept of devaluing her work at those rates. The niece told us on the side that she was determined to get her to budge by the new year.<br /><br />Also - For those rocking the iPhone/iPad, Square is about to take the credit card world by the stones. They're new and still working out some kinks, but they provide a free device that allows you to swipe cards and have gotten great reviews. I think they're cheaper than ProPay, too, though I'd still have ProPay on hand in case phone reception was an issue. I'm hoping to get on it soon. https://squareup.com/Tina Jetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08505154806951244992noreply@blogger.com
