I used to try to sell my leather at another market we had and would be given free rent bc i was the only one not making sells for several months. I didn't think I'd ever do another market. I've been carving for a year and a half now since then. This weekend I set up at a different farmers market expecting the worst. However, I left the house with 46 pieces and came back with 14. Made 170 in profit after booth rent, food, and and material cost. I sold a healthy mix of both original and YT design caricatures and spoons. I've been flying on cloud nine since and am extremely proud for putting myself out there again after my experience with leather.

I definitely feel like the lower price point of the carvings and that they are more novelties items helped then sell vs something like a $40 wallet.
