Most of them are made from the lighter blue denim but they did have some other ones that were really nice. One thing I liked about them is "They are hand made in the U S A by Seniors" and they will wear like iron.
This is a close up of one of their denim ones
I did sell one of my biggeer quilts that was Americana prints and this is the new happy owner. Her Mother bought it for her and she said her whole house is decorated in Americana prints. She was in charge of the bake sale and they had a lot of really yummy looking baked items.
I had a HUGE space since I rented a double and had it like a big "U" shape and some things up in front right in the middle
This is the rack I had with my quilts and tote bags and the table full of pillows was kind of behind it
Then to the right of the table of pillows I had another table and had a lot of the tucks and framed stitchings that Linda did for me. I don't know what I would have done without her..The stitched things she did for me sold pretty good (and now of course I will be needing more LOL).

I had an old door off of a video cabinet that I got at a resale shop...Billy painted it black and I made it look prim. I was going to try and sell it but forgot to mark it and used it to display some of the tucks I got from Linda....I have now decided to keep it since it worked so good for displaying them
I had one table with all the Christmas things and did not sell a single one...Maybe next time and there is another sale on Nov 12th I am going to call about tomorrow...it is just 4 hours show too. I will let you all know if I get in but I will not take as much stuff to the next time
This is where my 3 tables ended going along the wall and then had one coming out towards the front. It took a little over 2 hours to set it up and 1 hour to pack it all back up
This is 2 card tables I had up in front but you could walk around them to see the ones in the back. I made 12 jars of Apple Butter and sold 1...bummer
There is another show on the 12th..I might just get brave and try again.
I will be having another one of my big mark down sales to help with vet bill just like I did when Maggie had Heart Worm. I have decided that it costs as much to raise dog's as it does to raise kids...At least you know that when you punish your kids it usually works and kids can talk. How do you diciplin dogs when they just Love attention no matter how they get it. I will also be having another give away soon to thank my blogger friends for reading my blog and especially the ones that leave comments.

Sorry to hear that your sales weren't great. I would have loved to shop. Good luck with the next one, maybe you will sell out. I have a 3 day one that weekend too.
Your displays look wonderful! I know all about the vet bills, oh my, between my Kiah and the bunnies it is ALOT of $$$$$! Hope you have a great day and good luck at the next show;)
Wow Nancy... You and Billy had your work cut out for you...That was a lot of goodies..As for sellin only 1 Apple Butter who cares now you can have Hot toast with Apple Butter.. man taht sounds Yummy...Wish I had a slice for Breakfast..
So over all did you do well enough to make all the work worth it? I hope you did well.. Glad you sld one of your Quilts.
If you do the November show you ought to take a few more of your wood shelves/openfaced cupboards you have for Gatherings and use them to display your smaller things like you did your tucks.. Make it easier for people to see them at a glance. the tucks looked real nice on the door.
LOL..darned dogs anyway..sorta like the night Mama Kitty got loose and scared me to death tring to find her..
They just wanna have some fun at out worried expense..
Have a great week!!

Actually only cleared about $40.00 after expenses and that isn't including the expense for making the items that sold...The one on the 12th is in a Church and only lasts 4 hours and not real sure if I want to put any more money out or not.
I will send you some links for the fermented veggies.......... They are EASY......... Here is to good health..
Those girls are just needing to stretch their legs more. We have one female that pushes her nose thru the fence until she gets the hole big enough for her head. If she gets her head out, she's gone and she runs until she is exhausted. She will come right to us when she's tired. It's a game to her. The other stand inside the fence and bark at her. They must be cheering her on because she just runs around the house over and over! I give up trying to figure out what they are thinking!

BTW~Every sale and every day are different. Remember you told me--you gotta do what people like not what you like!
