This is why it's always a good idea to take work with you to craft fairs... when there are no more than 20 visitors during a 5hr period, you can at least get some making under your belt...

I always take something craftwork-wise to do at craft fairs. Today I finished off two partly made crochet bookmarks and two crocheted angels and make a couple of dozen miniature boxes out of old Christmas cards.
And the fair was quiet - but not that quiet (I took a bit over £60.00 which is pretty good for round here).
At least I made the table money back and a little profit, the majority of sellers didn't even make a solitary sale, let alone break even.
The next event I do will be a challenge though... I'm not allowed to use my pyrography machine. Apparently the fire alarms are so sensitive that the building once had to be evacuated one summer when the fire alarms were activated by someone spraying their office with fly spray.
I think I will take my notebook and do some writing while I'm there if it gets a little slow.
Si.

These are great, really well made too. Well done Ive been working on some wooden keyrings recently aswell. Its always great to see good work by other pyrographers!
The celtic knot design is really well thought out, i like how you've incorperated the heart shape into it too.
Good stuff.
