I would smile at them and say "can I see it when you are done?"<BR/><BR/>Your display was gorgeous and you had some wonderful items on display. They had an piece on the news yesterday about the price of gas and food being so high that people were having to watch the extras they were spending. Maybe this was the case here.GrandmaMarilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778351287627106876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878078.post-38932927523324309632007-10-17T18:47:00.000-04:002007-10-17T18:47:00.000-04:00have a gift for you.have a gift for you.Ruelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16899273978777673379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878078.post-28340484713326377972007-09-22T23:28:00.000-04:002007-09-22T23:28:00.000-04:00should have shown more leg.

M and I did mention more than once that there weren't too many 'shopping' bags being carried...<BR/><BR/>Thank you on the display comment. It does need work, as far as I'm concerned. Need a few more tall bust forms, maybe some signage, and a better tent, but hey, it's not like I'm doing this on a daily basis, like other vendors there. <BR/><BR/>I hope it wasn't a complete waste of time. My business card was picked up a lot, so I'm hoping to get some calls and site visits (sales!) from that at least.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry about your experience at the shows. Sucks that folks just don't have the same appreciation for quality anymore, eh?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139913832176062215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878078.post-64396367429322458932007-09-19T16:36:00.000-04:002007-09-19T16:36:00.000-04:00NA: LMBO!!!!!I was disappointed too, but, you're r...NA: LMBO!!!!!<BR/>I was disappointed too, but, you're right, we did have a fine day. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139913832176062215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878078.post-63319014414529394202007-09-18T09:53:00.000-04:002007-09-18T09:53:00.000-04:00my mom used to do these shows with her bobbin laci...my mom used to do these shows with her <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobbin_lace" REL="nofollow">bobbin lacing </A> and it would be the same they'd buy cheap junk and would be upset that her stuff was expensive - that she worked many hours on it didn't matter to them.
