Over the years, my wife and I have always enjoyed attending craft shows. There are people who would say that this luck is attributed to the fact that we started early; we were really selling my wife’s handcrafted baskets like hotcakes. But then, I don’t think that’s the reason we stuck with it.
Our luck could only be so much after some time, you see. We did have a thing going on because of my wife’s natural talent for crafts, yes, but I’m not one to brag but I think I picked up on a thing or two, myself. With her natural talent and my consistent perusal of books on the topic, and the hours that we’ve spent making more, we had a decent supply. But that’s not the problem.
You will inevitably come across a situation wherein you will be at odds with your partner. It is hard enough when it’s just about some superficial thing like arranging the booth (as I could never arrange the baskets to her liking), but when things were serious like money matters, then things could become really strained. I remember that I used to have some pretty harsh fights with my wife about this.
Going to various craft shows all over the country probably wasn’t the best idea for fun as well, if you would ask our son. When we were starting, we had no choice but to haul him along for the trip. And while he was always the favorite of the patrons and other vendors, I really doubt that his future wife would be able to drag him to another craft show.
It wasn’t the luck that kept us going. Now that I think about it properly, it was far from it. What glued us to the concept of craft shows was the idea of spending time together. Whether it’s getting ecstatic together at how much profit we made, or fighting about trivial things, we got something through craft shows that many couples only dream about: We got to spend a lot of time together.
