I have recently experienced selling some of my lace at a local craft fair. They were very simple lace outlines of a rocking horse, dala horse and a reindeer, all of which morphed out of the rocking horse design. You can see the first two at the bottom of my web shots page but the dala horse has changed design to include a saddle since I made the one posted there. http://community.webshots.com/album/149126673AmIpMo These pictures were sold in nice wooden frames from the dollar store for $12 pre-craft fair and $15 at the craft fair. I have sold at least ten of these pictures, I only have 3 in stock now and I think that was because of my color choice of background matts. I realised that white lace disappears on a pale green background under the lights of the craft fair so I will be changing the backgrounds on the remaining ones. I know that to us $12 is not much for something that probably took me 3 hours to make but it has put over $100 into our convention fund. We are considering making notecards of the reindeer to sell to lacemakers. I did use it for my christmas card this year so I am getting a lot of mileage out of the simple design. I don't think any of the lace bookmarks we had were sold and only a few of the Ufo glass candle holders with lace inside sold, but most people at the craft fair were looking for christmas decorations for their homes. Maybe next year we will make more christmassy things. Janice
