Craft Fair disaster

I should have known taking books to a craft fair was a mistake. Don’t they cosider writing books a craft? It was compounded by being in a local pub ( which I thought meant family lunch!) which had done almost no advertising and did not even have a banner outside to say it was on.

We only knew about it because we had a meal there last week. I think they put it on facebook but nowhere else.

It was a pity because the craft stalls that had booked were of a high quality, especially a painted glassware stall. ( but I don’t buy ornaments) I don’t think any of us did very well and I certainly didn’t as even the few children who came past didn’t even glance at my books ( or the dish of sweets I had put out to tempt them!)

So, another day with no sales. I feel the day of the book is past, except perhaps picture books. I’ll try to add a photo.
