I guess the words that sum it up best are blah, yuck, never again. It 
was at a high school, so I thought my handmade soaps and bath products 
would go over really well there. Ha ha yeah right. People wanted 
everything for nothing. This one woman actually asked if I had buy one 
get one free deals, because at $3.50 for a 4 ounce bar of homemade soap 
with all the ingredients you could possibly wat, that was just too high. 
I informed her politely that no, I did not offer those kinds of 
promotions. Then another woman asked me what was the difference between 
my tubes of homemade flavored lip balm and chapstick. Well, let's see, 
ultra moisturizing, flavored really well, and not a whole cocktail of 
chemicals. Not good enough. So to make a long story short, it was a 
bust. I barely made my table back, which is I guess at least something. 
And the ironic part is the people that bought from me were the ones I 
invited to the craft show. Have a great week and hope you have better 
success with your craft endeavors. Watch out for the crazy blind lady 
with the dolly. I have another show in 3 weeks. lol
