jenn,hang in there and keep trying.shows are tough right now.let the old man from n.c. tell you about a few of mine.i did a lot of shows in the late 70's and early 80's,mostly club shows.the first show we were talked into doing a craft show in southwest va.-i think i sold about 50 dollars worth of small cabs.the show didn't cost us nothing and there was a lot of good food and fine people there.i enjoyed that more than any show i ever did.we did the tucson show a few years,it is a good show to see and buy at but not to sell at.once we did a show in south carolina in august in a high school auditorum with no air conditioning.it was a 2 day show,friday and saturday.at 3 o'clock it was a total failure,one woman kept coming and saying she was going to buy a gold bracelet for 500 bucks.you all know how that goes.at 5 o'clock her husband came with her and got the piece she wanted and about twelve thousand dollars more.you never know about a show,i always figure it is all by the grace of GOD.best regards,ken
