My New Stall

Hi Everyone :wave:

Some of you may know that I have been booked to do a stall at a Dog Show August 5th, and I have just got all my knitwear out of storage to make sure that I had enough stock.

:lol: :lol: I have got loads, a full table plus a black bag full that can go under the table :thumbup;

Thought you might want to have a look at my trial run on the stall:

Hopefully we will sell quite a few and then we will have to start knitting again for the Christmas Fair at the end of October :thumbup;

The dog was a gift from Speakerabbit who also made us the Jumpawz sign for around his neck, I have tried contacting Manda a couple of times but no reply, she doesnt seem to come onto CB anymore :(

What a great range, Sally! :thumbup; I did hear a suggestion that you occasionally reduce the amount on display if sales are slow, to give the reverse impression ;) It's always good to be able to bring something out of storage in triumph :D

I am getting a bit nervous about it all now as the fair is this coming Sunday :blink:

Virginia I have had a few American Flag jumpers and they have all sold before :thumbup; I think America is a tad too far for a craft fair ;) :r :r

Hi Sally,


I have just noticed this thread for the first time.... Sally your stall looks fabulous, you two have certainly put lots of hard work into it too!!

Dont be nervous or else you wont enjoy your day with your wonderful goods..


Just think... what will be will be ??


I dont think you will have any trouble as long as they all have dogs ... your stall will be a winner,

I am really looking forward to it - just slightly nervous, but I know that on the day me & Lou are going to have a great time, hopefully the jumpers will sell as it is at a Dog Show, most people will have their dogs with them :thumbup;

Well what a complete flop that was :groan

We managed to sell 1 jumper @ £4.50 and have come away from there £5.50 down :groan

It was a lovely surprise to see Manda (Speakerabbit) doing a stall too, and we had a laugh, but after a few hours sitting in blazing heat we decided enough was enough, there were people packing up at 12.30, we waited until 1.30pm :groan

After speaking with a few stall holders it was obvious that no one had done well, some sold nothing :(

Oh well, back home now and I need a soak.

Lesson learnt dont try to sell dog jumpers in August in a heatwave :groan :r :r
