I am strongly considering renting a booth at Quilted Bear and trying to sale beaded watch bands and some hair bows (possibly some seasonal wood items). I can't decide if I should or not! Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I know you have already seen these picture but these are some possible items I would sale there. Also, if any of you are interested in working together to do something like this, let me know. I would love to do this with someone. My husband might go crazy if I do this all by myself. PLEASE give me some advice.

Just a heads up on the Quilted Bear. I used to have a booth there and they take 10-15% of your sales plus you pay a booth rental. Also if they have things like that already for sale in the store they wont let another vendor come in and sale the same things. When I did it I didnt think it was worth it. But check into it for yourself. Also I love all the things you have made.
I think you have a great talent, and a fantastic eye about what looks good. I think your stuff would sell, I think I already mentioned that I want to buy that white beaded watch... ;)
I think you should follow Beckie's advice. I would weigh the costs. I LOVE Bumble watches (I already have three bands and I need another face so if you have any in stock..). I also look at hair blogs and some of them sell bows and it looks like they do pretty well, so maybe you should try that route first (lower overhead). Good luck!
Go for it! It sounds like a lot of work. I know that anytime I need a bow for Molly (and I'm too lazy to make one), I head to Quilted Bear because they seem to have a good variety at good prices (that's down here in Provo, not Ogden).
I also love the watch band. Very cute!
I think they are way cute. I like them. I don't know if I would rent a booth at quilted bear. I would try something else like a what women want expo. That way you don't have to pay so much in sales fees. Just an idea.
Cute Ideas! My sister-in-law does a booth at Quilted Bear and has had NO problems, Her and a friend have the smallest booth available so it's cheaper to split between the 2 of them. I would say to maybe have an open house for your items and see what everyone likes and their comments, then you could go from there i think you could make more mula doing parties or something, so no one takes out a % it's all to yourself! I'm actually having my first hostess open house down at Justi's next Wednsday for all my crafts so I'll see how that works out and maybe do more parties and craft shows. But I do know that those watches are very popular right now, So I think those would be really great and even the bows are darling. I was always searching for CUTE bows with Taige. Also, this is getting very long sorry-I put alot of my stuff up in Tremonton at a boutique store called "Everything your Heart Desires" it is a darling store and gets alot of Business, i don't know if you would like to drive that far or would be interested but, I could give you more details if you would like. Mindy Crowther who married Jared? used to put alot of her stuff in there too. Good Luck sorry for all my opinions.
Candice I got your message and I won't be able to come because I have a meeting at my house tonight. I would love to come over and see your bows sometime though. Sorry about tonight.
