Your painted dog ornaments are beautiful, you are extremely talented .
My story I made baby clothing for family and friends others wanted me to make some for them. My father kept pushing me to go to the stores and show them what I could do. He believed people were taking advantage as I was only charging for materials. A girlfriend sold at the market so I thought I’ll try a stall that would get Dad of my back 😂 so I made a heap of different designs. As I was setting up a woman came up and asked me who was the designer 😮 I told her I was, she bought the lot on the spot for full price, not only that she asked me to supply her 5 baby stores she owned and would take as much as I could make and any other designs she wanted to see them first 🤯 And of cause my father was I told you so. I have just retired after 35 years of manufacturing children’s clothing, all because I went to the markets to keep my Dad quiet. You never know who’s watching

You are such an astute business person. Our company sold at a professional trade show every year (Toy Fair NYC). Your advice is equally spot-on for a multi-million dollar company or a sole proprietor crafter. I hope you hand each customer a card inviting them to join our Elysia English You Tube family.

Great advice. I did invest in nice bags to pack purchases in. More and more though I find people bring their own. I stamp or use stickers with my info on them and have business cards too. It’s surprising how many people contacted me for items after the shows. It would be a great way to promote your channel too! Good luck this year.

The pet portraits are adorable! ❤❤❤ Loved all your advice and the ornaments you’ve been making. The sailboat ornaments are wonderful-I’m sure you’ll sell out again. ❤️👍❤️

Your imagination is limitless. You seem to learn something new every year. I personally love the ornaments you make from naturally gathered materials. I can see you with your sons and grandchildren still enjoying successful craft shows.

thank you for being so SANE! When I did craft shows long ago, my partner daughter me ....$20 is tops. But remember everyone needs presents for teachers, neighbors, stocking stuffers, just something very nice that is OBVIOUSLY hand made and not from overseas. Also your tables always look lovely but not so FULL of stuff that no one can see anything! Also, think, just because something is easy or cheap to make ... is it something that YOU would be "I have to purchase this." The "I can make that", no make your own thing and think about something you would BUY!

This may be only the second comment I have ever left on a YouTube video and I watch A LOT of videos! Also, I almost never watch a video that is greater than 20 minutes. However…I stumbled onto this one and watched every bit and here I am leaving a comment. Great content. Great presentation. Thanks so much!

Thanks for this video! Perfect timing-- I'm doing a show at a church on November 4th and 5th. Your tips are very useful and I'll be taking a lot of your advice!! Thanks, Elysia!!

Years ago, I did a craft show, as a favor to a friend. She was putting on the event.
I was in the basement, of the ymca, in a room at the end of a hall.
I expected zero sales and was super disappointed in my location.
Earth shattering? No, but I sold a lot .
I was shocked 😊

You’re the best! I’ve been a long time follower of yours and you’re such an inspiration.
I’m doing my first farmer’s market sale up in cottage country (northern Ontario) at the end of the summer. I’ve never put my art up for sale. I used your tips and created things that are affordable, keeping with the theme of the area. And I made a display that I can hang ornaments from to add some visual appeal too.
Here goes nothin’! 😊💕

I'm excited for your family to be doing 2 craft shows this year. Elysia you are an amazing artist. The dog ornaments and the puffin heads you painted have such detail and realistic features. Your advice about being present when your selling your items is spot on. Best wishes to you all for having 2 successful shows.

[aileenhaggarty]

You are getting me all excited with your craft talk. Looks like this year will be the best for the English’s . Bless 👍🙏🏻❤️

[tiffanycave]

Cant wait to see what the boys make.

And u mom.❤❤❤🎉

[kysunflower]

Some good stuff.
Here nearly all vendors are sitting down. Personally when I am the shopper I prefer the seller not engage, just be available.

[ktdidits]

Love that the boys and you make the ornaments together. Can't wait to see more. Ya'll come up with super cute items. Happy crafting ❤

Some of the most practical advice I've seen on YT. I'm getting ready to retire and need to supplement my income. This will be extremely helpful. Thank you.
