I got my first wholesale inquiry last weekend and even if nothing comes of it, I'm glad someone was interested enough to ask. It did also get me thinking that I really should get my portfolio ready for that sort of thing. My big goal for this year was to do craft shows and I've been trying (haven't been accepted to as many as I'd like, but oh well). My big goal for next year is to try the wholesaling side of things, but it didn't occur to me that I'd be unprepared if someone contacted me THIS YEAR. Guess I better get on that.
I spent the weekend making large hair clips with the paper flowers I showed last week and I really like them - so much so that I've already been "test driving" them myself. They got quite a positive reaction - even from the fellas! Totally unprompted!
That's always a good sign. :)

That's awesome! Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteWill you be vending at Stitch Rock in October? Hope so!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately not. They didn't accept me originally and by the time they did, I'd already made plans to be out of state on that date. Boooo! I'd been hoping to catch up with crafty folks and meet new ones. Oh well. I hope it goes great for you, though!
ReplyDeleteWell there is always Retro Indie and Odd Duck next year. You will be missed!
