Thursday night a friend and I did an open house at the local winery we began selling at. The show went really well and we had a great turn out! It was nice that people could browse, eat, drink and then browse again. It was a very laid-back setting and people enjoyed that :)
My lasered items were by far the hit of the night! And coasters to be exact. I sold 14 set of coasters and had already sold another set the day before the show! People loved that they could customize the coasters and the ideas started flowing! I had several people tell me they would be ordering more for up-coming weddings as well!
Here is a set of coasters I made special for this winery. They have this painted on their patio wall and people just love it! This is the set of coasters that sold right away, so I've made more to take down! I also made a lasered wood plaque with this image on it as well. She just so fun :)We're hoping to do another open house/craft show this fall or winter at the winery. I love their set-up and the location is perfect! The owners are great people and I'm happy to be working with them :)
Isn't it fun to see what sells at different venues? I love your albums but I can see why the coasters did well--they were at a winery and I am sure they like to drink! And what a great idea for wedding gifts.
ReplyDeleteYour set up looked great and it's wonderful you had so many sales! I would love to see all those albums in person! The coasters are really cute too!
ReplyDeleteYour display looks beautiful! I have yet to make that many items to sell :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your sales! Great idea to sell personalized coasters at the winery. Perfect!
Such a great opportunity, to be working with the winery! Looks like you have found a niche. Love the coasters!
ReplyDeleteEdi, that is just the awesome-est!! Venues where people can hang out, visit, and buy are especially great.
ReplyDeleteYou go, girl!!!
Oh yes, and alcohol consumption helps, too!
ReplyDeleteWow! Nice Edi! I'm sure you'll do well especially with the wine coasters. A great product for the winery to sell.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute logo! And that's great of the owners to let you have a little show! I guess the drinking public needs coasters - now, was that planned? Any 'ol way, it's a winner! {:-D
ReplyDeleteFab"U"lous Edi! Those coasters are great, and so many custom orders too. I'm just so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats ~ sounds like you had a great time! Those coasters are great, I can see why you sold so many! :)
