Preparing for Craft Festivals    Sunday, May 20, 2012

The summer season means preparing for craft festivals.  Outdoor fairs take a toll on jewelry so the preparation starts with cleaning and polishing jewelry from the year before.   Earring cards and necklace tags need to be replaced so they look new.  I take inventory of my stock, and adjust prices to reflect the rising cost of materials.  Unless of course, I am tired of hauling around a piece of jewelry.  Those pieces I put on sale at a discount.
