Chicken Stock/ Craft Stock for Nov. 8th Tractor Supply Milford NH

[chickn]

so i think we should make it official that the 3rd sat march threw june then again in sept-nov
i also wanted to get a few going in merrimack and chichester to ad to that list.
i think it is crazy to the craft fairs charge that much a table, someone makes a killing.

processing,,,eeks, ok, lets see we could put up a tent that is like a garage with a sign on it, place it far from the group and children and those interested can do there.

wow, I would love to come to the swap every month,I'll have to get working though I was thinking of doing little paintings 8" by 10" or maybe even smaller.Then it would make it more affordable. I make a mean apple pie , crust from scratch and everything.I could sell those and then there is all those dishcloths I've crocheted.O my I have to get to work.
Spotted I got the pkg today.Everything is beautiful , now if DH would fix the table I got at a yardsale for my altar I would be all set. The doll is precious and the picture of the pendant didn't do it justice, I love it.
And thank you so much for the scarab turquoise is my favorite color and I was looking at the frog and it was upside down and I was like ....ok, and then I turned it over. Its exquisite! Did you make him yourself? If you did you missed your calling,you need to start sculpting right now. I love frogs and he's just perfect.And of course the dreamcatcher is going to only give me dreams of huge bass jumping into my kayak.

As far as the mobile processor.......where do I sign up. I wonder if I have enough room for freedom rangers.. Oh DH is not going to like where this is going.

Yeah craft fairs are outragious with cost for set ups. cripes if your paying $75.00 per set up and only make $25.00 you lost money and wasted a day.
come into the real world and bring your wares where its free.
enabling them to make so much money is insane. I personally for one wont go to craft fairs because of the insane set up charges. There are more functioning ways to sell with out the expense.
but enough of that,.

As I mentioned to Chikn , Chichester is likely going to be a Fair Weather swap, they have very limited area for inside setups, The lack of room in the stock room is problmatic.
I know not everyone can afford fancy pop up tents, and most stores do not have a garage in a box set up like Milford does.
So we woulde to come up with some thing creative.

LOL Processing is no huge deal, honestly done proplerly there is little blood, little mess.
The actually deed can be done in private so no one has to faint lol
But agreed Signs will be needed for the squishy tummied people.

I would like to hear a few more comments on this before a final decision is made as to finding some one who can come with a mobile unit. I dont feel its a mandatory thing but it is all part of the Chicken process.
I will be watching and adding to this thread as we go along and more goof ball ideas pop up

The monthly idea sounds awesome! But I work on Saturdays.

Maybe I can get a day off here and there so I can go occasionally.

Well this is my last season for the fudge making. I just dont have the time now with working and the kid school. And I promised Rhett I would spend more time with him as well.
But I still have other things up my sleeve that are less time consuming as a whole. So.

Either day works for me, but I will admit there will be some I just wont be able to manage.
A friend of my folks has a large flock and has been selling eggs at the Farmers Market in Dedham MA. Makes a nice income form that. PLus a store chain just picked up his "extra" eggs on a weekly basis. So he is getting more chickens. Man I am jealous
