Anything from my shop is low-sew and totally market friendly! (Except maybe the funfetti bunny but you could probably sell that for a little more) I should have a duck tester call coming out really soon as well! :yellow_heart:

Have you been to this market before? I used to travel to different markets/conventions and it’s wild how different they can be lol

Around here, it’s all about ‘bougie homestead’ with the Gen X to Boomer crowd - from chickens to elaborate granny square blankets. Any squeel worthy amigurumi is a hit with younger crowds.

My standard sales advice is: know your customer and have a good price range - I can’t count the number of times someone couldn’t afford something they wanted ATM, but bought something cheaper and took my info for later.

You got this! Have fun!

My best sellers were dinosaurs, mushroom frogs(and regular frogs), whales, and little bears/hamsters

I’ve never been to this area before. I’m assuming that there will be a lot more kids and parents there, because all of us sellers will be 5-17. I’m thinking of doing characters that kids will recognize, such as Bluey and Bingo! I’m gonna create a lot of stuffed toys probably, assuming there will be a lot of kids. Thanks for the info!! :grin:

Oh wow! That sounds amazing!

Play sets are a big draw with parents of younger kids (veggies in a wheelbarrow, dishes and foods in a picnic basket, etc.)
