How are your shows going this year?

I am in the beginning of a 17 day show(started on Friday) and I am finding the sales are about half of what the first weekend of the show was last year. I was wondering what everyone else is doing?

I am doing about the same as last year!!

I got home a bit ago from another show and am finding that things are pickign up a bit I did pretty well for the day :)

17 days straight? omg, i think i would die. i just did two shows back to back this weekend. on saturday was my biggest show of the year and despite the horrible weather (snow storm and ice) and lower turn out i did FABULOUS! i was the organizer for the show yesterday and i have to admit it was awesome. :)

ive been doing shows just about every weekend. sales have been good but im having a hard time keeping up with website orders and restocking in between shows. :)

Excellent$$$$$$$ I Did 20 Shows This Year. 12 Back To Back And One More To Go .we Only Had One Bad One.. We Doubled Or More Our Sales This Year!

Great ladies that you have all done well. On another forum I am on the sales were the same as last year or down. My sales picked up yesterday but I am still down from a year ago. Maybe this next weekend will be better than last weekend as the weather was real windy and this weekend the temps are suppose to be in the 80's.

I am already tired from being at the show and still have until the 23rd.

how do you guys manage to do so many? do you have kids?

So far I've been doing shows almost every weekend since beginning of October. I still 3 or 4 shows left. I had one really bad show so far, but most of the others have been better than I thought I would do or about average. I also started doing more out of town shows that I've haven't done before and they've worked out well for me. I'm thinking about venturing out more for next year's shows too.
