Default What sells best at a craft show for you?

I was just wondering (since the time is here again) what sells best at
craft shows for you guys. *I'm talking local craft shows.

For me it seems to be handmade bead rings from either brass, plated
wire or copper using czech fire polish beads or glow in the dark
beads. *Inexpensive but cute and people really seem to like them. At
times during a slow show they have paid my booth expense.

These outsell any gemstone bead ring more than 30 to 1. *Interesting
but perhaps because the gemstone bead rings are more expensive and
made from Sterling Silver or 14KGF materials.

Average price of individual product purchase is about $5.

How about your areas? *I'm in central Washington state.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Gemstone earrings have always sold best for me in terms of numbers.
In terms of dollar sales, probably dichroic glass pendants and
gemstone necklaces. In all depends on what kind of show it is and what
time of year.
