Well, my first "craft show" was an....experience. We learned some things relating to my setup/display that need improvements - but overall, I think it went alright.
For an event not "just" a craft show - but a street fair - and being in a 'craft show' that was really a 'vendor show' - competing with home party booths, massively marketed jewelry booths, "made in china" primitives, I didn't do too awful.
I received MANY complements on my jewelry, and it's apparent this is a unique market to be in - even though, as my neighbor at the show told me "EVERYBODY tries to sell jewelry now-a-days." It's ok, she was just cranky. *chuckles*
I had great interest in my star pendants - even though I thought the earrings would be going. In addition, there was a bit of interest in folks wanting custom pieces, and my business cards were flying off the table.
One BIGGEST thing I need to remember - the hand mirror goes BEHIND the shelf next time - not out on the table. I think that got the most interest......from kids, making faces, picking noses, etc.
I am looking forward to my next show - which will be strictly devoted to actual "crafts", handmade artisans with their wares.
All in all - I'm glad for the experience, and will do the show next year, for the local support, family support, and never turning down an opportunity to display my wares and get my name out there.

Getting excited
Getting excited for the show next week.
Been chaining my fingers off.
Lots and lots of colorful stars and earrings. I decided to feature smaller/cheaper pieces at this show but as always, custom orders will be available (shipping waived if ordered at the show), and will have few of my larger pieces as well.
My momma will be with me, and the hubbers will be in and out. He'll be helping us set up - then going back home to go to bed!
Really looking forward to it!
Hope to see some of you there!
