FEST IN TOWNSHIP

Every year in our township, we have this fest called “FOOD n FUN” where ppl can put up food stalls and prepare and sell food items. This year it was conducted on Sep 26, 2010 and arts and crafts stalls were also allowed. So I decided to put up my stall with the title “Fashion Jewellery”. It required quite an amount of preparation as I had to make various items for sale and I had no idea about the response nor the liking of the ppl in my place. So, I decided to make few pieces in all varieties so that I don’t invest too much. I started off with makin items like bead chains cos they r cheaper and have been attracting many ppl. I made 6 nos. in various colors and even sported one which matched my dress for the event.




Then made a few crystal and stone sets, both of which have that rich look but are a bit expensive.






I also made some pearls (white, pink and violet) to attract the attention of kids and old aunties.







 The first thing I had decided to make was lotsa earrings cos they sell well and r affordable by one n all. So, I made many pairs of earrings with beads, crystals, rings, hangings…















Also, I made few bracelets-beads, crystals, pearls. I also made two pairs of anklets.










The event went off well and as I had anticipated, most of the earrings and bracelets sold off. Of course, it was a new experience for me and I learnt a few things about selling and marketing.
