Old ladies tend to think that you have won a prize.... which can also work in your favour!

Fairs are long days, if you have a bad fair being comfy and happy about what you wear is important, if you have a good fair the same goes. <br /><br />I have felt happy wearing basic black, wearing other peoples jewellery, wearing fake pearls, dressing up ..... As long as you look smart and not frumpy (avoiding sweat shirts, track pants or bulky cardys is a good start) and feel happy about yourself you'll be fine.<br /><br />Dress for your fair just as most people adjust what they sell at each fair. If you are at an outdoor fair, the most important thing is - keeping warm in winter, keeping cool and not sunburnt in summer. <br /><br />On the shy thing and wearing your own stuff, i slowly (on the firm advice of friends) encouraged myself into it, initially it was hard - i felt i was showing off and being pushy. I think it's a nice attribute to have, nobody likes someone who is overselling.stylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835364094295097490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079917014970125238.post-63786165637652531962010-11-04T18:50:39.649-07:002010-11-04T18:50:39.649-07:00I think that is a really good point about if you w...I think that is a really good point about if you wouldn't wear it yourself...why should other people...<br />But I'm also with Colleen on the shyness thing! I can't really speak from experience as I don't make anything I could wear but I do feel funny about my own stuff, it makes me shy and awkward...I guess its just a case of getting over myself! :-)<br />Do send me photos of yourselves everyone! It's fun to share<br />xeviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742034819164052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079917014970125238.post-2078641130033055852010-11-04T15:30:02.313-07:002010-11-04T15:30:02.313-07:00yeah those dam rosette are little trouble makers -...yeah those dam rosette are little trouble makers - in my head they have always been more art than fashion. The first one I make was about 50cm and framed in a box fame - I'm really sad now that I sold it there's a small chance it will be worth some money one day:)dear colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00297782682713159741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079917014970125238.post-46275928616811557932010-11-04T15:19:44.109-07:002010-11-04T15:19:44.109-07:00I know what you mean with the rosettes - even just...I know what you mean with the rosettes - even just holding the one you gave me in my hand last Saturday I got so many comments on it from random people there!

I loved looking at the effort so many of the seller at craft2.0 put into dressing in their brand colours and looking pretty as a picture:)dear colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00297782682713159741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079917014970125238.post-40451203314916743112010-11-04T14:48:51.389-07:002010-11-04T14:48:51.389-07:00It sure is a good look to see a seller proudly wea...It sure is a good look to see a seller proudly wearing something they've made.<br />As a hobby crafter, it was only when I felt completely comfortable wearing jewellery I'd made myself that I felt comfortable selling it to someone else. If you're not going to wear your own creation, why expect someone else to?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04142808893550111522noreply@blogger.com
