Craft shows lead to craft business
I began making hair bows several years ago. A friend was adopting two special needs children from China at the same time and I wanted to help her out. I made a few bows and sold them to friends and colleagues, who then told their friends about them. They bought bows from me too and I gave all the profits to my friend for her adoption. Pretty soon, a colleague talked me into doing my first craft show. When I saw how well my bows sold, I knew that I would continue even after my friend brought her children home (and she did!)
I now do between 8-10 craft shows a year. I craft all the time and I am constantly trying new things and getting new materials to try out. You never know what I am going to make next! I only list items I have in stock so that I can ship them quickly. I don't want you to wait for your purchase.
My shop is called Red Thread Bows because there is a Chinese proverb that says that a red thread binds people together who are destined to meet. That thread may tangle or stretch, but it will never break. Your thread brought you to my shop today and I am so glad it did!
