New Products to Debut Tuesday Night!

 My goal for Amylou for the next couple of years is to have an online store, and do a couple of vendor events and craft shows throughout the year, maybe once a quarter.  This Tuesday night is "vendor night" for alumnae at my high school.  It's an opportunity for alumnae with small businesses to set up a booth/table to sell items, and an opportunity for alumnae to shop as well.  I'm sure a lot of them want to come get a head start on Christmas presents!

I'm a little nervous about it because I've never sold anything at an event like this before.  I also have never attended the event myself to shop.  So I really have no idea what to expect.  I thought about maybe just attending this year to get a feel for what it's like, then selling next year.  But then I came to my senses and realized this would actually be the perfect kind of event for a first run. 1. It's a place I'm familiar with and comfortable with.  2. The price to participate is minimal, and the money benefits my Alma Mater.  3. And, of course, there are sales to be made.

So I've had to rush a little to get ready for this.  I only just decided a week ago that I was going to participate.  One issue I have is that most of my items I sell are made-to-order because of the size options.  So, I won't be selling any of the special sizing items there - just taking orders for those (tutus, onesies, and headbands - all of which I'll have plenty of samples on display).  For immediate purchase that night, I'll have clippies, crochet headbands, and my newest items I'm super excited about.........headband and clippie holders!   I also have a bunch of new "Little Mister" tie-applique onesies that are absolutely ADORABLE (and will be on display that night to order).  Along with all the new bow holders, they will also be available for purchase on my website starting Tuesday.
