Strike 3 we are out! Over the past year we have now done 3 totally different craft shows. One in May, one in September, and one in December! Crafts shows are just not a great fit for us nor our product in this area. Our niche market is apparently at the Market we started going to in September! Back to the craft show.....it was very cold today and perhaps that influenced the traffic we saw or did not see today. The best thing about the show today was that I got to buy some Matreshka Dolls! I have always wanted a set and never bought any so today was the day! I am the very proud owner of 5 of the dolls and they are very unique as they are not all painted the same but differently. I will post a picture of them for you to see too! And then I want to go research the history of them. These were imported from Russian and the Russian Maritime Society was selling them today.
