Karm,
Congrats on the successful show. I have 2 questions 1. What is in the brown bottle and what is hanging off of it. 2. how many nights did you go without sleep to get all the work done. lol

Great work Karm! Could you share your recipes for the beer bread?

Karm, I'm so happy for you wahoooo on the profit. I hope mine next week will be half as good as yours. Quick question, your sugar cookies and wine cake etc. are the ingredients from a box or do you measure out everything but the eggs, oil etc. and how did these sell?

Debbie

Great job, Karm! Congratulations on a successful show! Where did you find the Santa Cans, or did you make them? I'm curious about the beer bread bottle too. Thanks for showing us the pics, they're great AND I like them big 'cause they can be enlarged to show close-up.

WOWWEE I'm impressed! You were one busy lady to get everything done and looking so GREAT! Loved the way you did the beer bread.......well with everything! What would you say was your biggest seller? What did folks gravitate to first?
Congrats and glad you did well! I can certainly see WHY!

Hi ladies,the bottles are beer bread with bear toppers,although this year I did find some moose that I sorta liked.Everything is mixed fresh and the wine cakes where one of my biggest sellers.I told people to go buy a small bottle of white wine for the vanilla cakes and dark wine for the chocolate cakes to add to the gift ,they loved that idea.One ladie said she loves different ideas and bought 3 of them.Now here in New York you have to have a special mixing license to make anything like this,you also have to have a separate kitchen and the state comes in and checks twice a year.But you can have people mix things for you as I do and then I design and package them myself.

Here is a really cute idea ,gum is from dollar store 25cents and the paper is just a shiny blue and tiny pompoms.The face I drew on with slick paint by tulip,it turns into like a plastic when dry.

here are some things I never got to add because of time ,but they are cute ideas too.I use to mix all my own and then New York went from 200 for the license to 400,and I only do one craft fair a year,so a friend of mine who owns her own shop does the mixing for me,I just tell her what I want and then go pick it up then I package it all myself.I also have an online person who does it also.Any way here are a couple more pictures of items,the gingerbread are made from gourds,but they can also be made from light bulbs and the snow girl and the other snowman are made from brushed cotton.Thanks for all the compliments and yes,I was so busy that I told them this will be my last craft fair,it is a lot of work.

My biggest seller is my beer bread,people seems to love the idea for gifts and they are one of my biggest profits.The wine cakes,cookie mixes and also the candy bars are great sellers.I start making things in August and September,October is my busy month for the mixes,I want them as fresh as I can get,they last about a year.Hope I answered all your questions and I wish all of you luck with your sales!
