Those sound like nice ideas! I would like to buy pre-mixed "bread in a jar" or "cookie in a jar" gifts as well. I would especially like to buy those together with a jar of jam. What a nice gift that would make!

No matter what you sell, as long as it comes "ready to give" with a pretty ribbon and blank tag attached, I'm sure you'll have lots of customers. I love to buy homemade gifts made by someone else to give to my family and friends!

Craft Ideas

Hello,
Maybe you could make some pot holders, pillows, and dishtowels. If you know how to cross stitch or embroider, you could do that on some things.

Blessings!
We do craft shows 4 times a year. Something we began 10 years ago and really enjoy it:) Here's some ideas for you...
Soap bunnies, ornaments (we do all kinds), hanging dishtowels, bottle aprons, gifts in a jar (because they do not contain raw perishable ingredients and they are not cooked no permit is required), quilted hotpads, pincushions, ornament earrings (very inexpensive and fun to make), housewives, silly remotes, snowman poop, pig/cow seeds, tax shelters, quarter pounders...I guess these are a little visual but I can privately message you and explain some of these if you are interested:)
Most of these are very simple, fun to make and folks love the humor in them.
We just really enjoy our craft shows and the money we make is saved for Christmas and birthdays.
God be with thee!

Clothes pins bags?

Posted by lerdman4 on Wednesday, September 19, 2007 at 11:07 - Link

Me being the NON sewer that I am :o) I go to craft shows and always buy Clothes pins bags to put my pins in to hang my laundry. Did you ever think of making those?? I think about 5 years ago (I bought 2 that time) here I paid $6 for each. I actually have my last one hanging up on the line and need to find some more to put in my closet because this one is getting ratty.. Brenda if you want a picture of it, email me and I will gladly send you one. They look simple enough to make anyway.. Maybe that's a thought??
Blessings to you and our family,
Lisa
