It's is actually just a regular crafts market. =) So I only bring headbows which non-loli people would like. I also have plain pink, saxe and white headbows, some with lace and others with faux pearls. I don't take them with me there as I want to save them for lolitas and people who appreciate them more! XD But thank you for your opinion! ^_^ And I'm glad that you like the set-up! :D Always takes ages to make it look decent. XD
I had been planning on selling at my (kinda) local con, which is the london mcm expo, but the tables are so expensive there. ;__; Then again, it is for 3 whole days. And thank you! The earrings sell so well. :D I do make dangly earrings (you can kind of see them in the first photo. They hang around the edges of the glasses) which are mainly butterflies, watermelon charms, apple charms, cakes and birdcages. But I hadn't thought of making sets! That'd be a good idea! Thanks! n_n I give out business cards at the fairs too, with my LJ, name and e-mail address on. My mum use to sell her things (lavender hearts, bags etc) at craft fairs years ago, so she's given me some helpful tips. Like not slouching in a chair when people are over by your stand. It makes it look less appealing.
And thank you ever so much! You've been super kind! =3
Oh I agree 100% with what you've said! I love going to table top sales and bootsales, but if a stall looks messy, or the person looks grumpy, messy and/or inviting, then I won't even go near it, as bad as that may sound. Presentation is key! I always come home with achy cheeks because I'm been smiling all day! XD
At this fair that I was at yesterday (the one I've pictured my stall from) the peopel next to me wear selling similar things made from the same materials (though in a different style, more... plain? Slightly metal-music-fan) and they just looked so annoyed... they didn't do so well in the selling department. I mean, they just sat there reading their magazines! O.O
And thank you so much! Means a lot that you've taken the time to help me! =3
Hmm... too big for studs for my liking... I'd love to see them as dangly earrings though, maybe like those gold star ones in the last photo (so pretty! they weren't there before were they, or did I miss them?).
Oh yeah, I could see how that'd be cool. I'd need to get some bails to pull it off though.
And yeah, I added 2 new photos a bit after I first posted. The dangly earrings at the bottom, and the one with my rings in. So yeah, you didn't miss them. ;) I'll be making a few of those earrings. ^_^
And thank you! I went through so many names before I thought of this one! XD
I have actually made some earrings that match! :D But the camera died before I could upload them yesterday. However, I've found my old retired camera and gave it some AA batteries, so I can upload them now. I'll post you the link to the photos when they've been uploaded. ^_^
And I know what you mean, I'm a sucker for pearls... =3
Hi, for some reason the pictures won't load for me, I don't know what's wrong. I'd love it if you'd hold them for me, but so I can see them, would you please email pics to me at data_lorch @ yahoo. com (sans the spaces :)))
Oh thank you very much!!! =3 I'll try and make some matching sets. Smaller ones, like, a ring with matching earrings, bracelet and earrings etc... Last one I went to was in Shoreham-by-Sea at the Shoreham Center. It's a monthly fair that takes place every 2nd Saturday of every month. I've got a fair this Friday in Lindfield at the King Edwards Hall. :)
And wow, really?! :D It's aweosome meeting people who live in the same-ish area! ^_^ And I don't really live "in" Brighton, but close enough. And it's easier to say Brighton as more people have heard of it then Haywards Heath, which I live closer to! XD Whereabouts do you live then? More west, north or east of Brighton? n_n
Thank you! ^_^ I should be at the next 2 craft fairs at the Shoreham Centre, but I haven't recieved confirmation yet... though, that's probably because I only sent the e-mail to them yesterday! XD
I've got a friend who lives in Eastbourn and I've met 2 of the Brighton Lolitas (sherbetsugar and ichigo_shock) as I bought a JSK and headbow from one of them and we met up to do the exchange and walked around a bit.
And some of the people from my college went to Southamptin! :D

Do you want me to hold a pair for you? And I'll let you know when I have everything ready to start selling?
