Well, some time ago the couple that owns a local bait and tackle shop said I should show them some of my fish. So today I took some to their shop; The Rusty Hook. It is a nice a large, clean shop with a friendly neighborhood atmosphere to it. Since I don't fish I hadn't been in it before and I think I have been missing a vital link to our community. They took all four fish that I had to show them and they will put them in the shop. I have no great expectations about sales; they are there on commission. That is fine with me, I just like to let the poor guys out of the house for a while! Joe, one of the owners has also asked me to make a large striper (hmmm, will try again!) and to put on it the name of the store....I can only try. I have found that fishermen (and women too) and very, very particular about the size, structure and color of the fish. Getting the right color is probably my biggest challenge.
I really dislike the marketing things....I would much rather be home making things than trying to sell them.
I was selected to participate in a holiday boutique, I just found out on Monday and I have ordered some extra supplies for that. I will be selling the tiles-trivets-installation accent tiles plus some great small clip-on watches that I assemble. They are for clipping onto handbags, backpacks, jeans loops, golf bags, etc. What is so good about this sale is that they do all of the selling, I just deliver the merchandise! YAY.....
