Summary

In the current business environment, marketing and advertising can be even more important than the product itself. People form their perceptions about the product based on the surroundings, price compared to competition, and how the item is promoted. If you are selling your handmade jewelry in a booth directly adjacent to someone whose jewelry was made overseas, it could appear that your product is overpriced, but the customer would not take into account the different living wages in your country vs. Asia. 
I have a Marketing Degree with an emphasis on Retail Marketing with several years of experience working in management at retail stores that are renowned for their visual merchandising training, such as Pier 1 Imports, Robinson's May, Petite Sophisticate and Casual Corner. I have been selling my jewelry, hair accessories, and aromatherapy products at craft and holiday fairs for over 6 years.  
When I first starting selling at craft fairs, I made every mistake that was possible….over pricing, under pricing, putting out the wrong product for the wrong consumer, creating very flat displays, not grouping my designs by color or style, and even not using card displays for earrings. Initially, I was lucky if I could sell $100 of jewelry over a long weekend.  
Thankfully, through trial and error and coaching from seasoned professionals, I have refined my marketing skills for craft fairs enough to make a respectable income from these ventures. I am so glad that you have chosen to follow this path rather than taking the tedious road of making the mistakes that I did.  
In this book, I will go through the tools and techniques that you can use to market your jewelry at craft fairs.

    America was made manifest by its cars. From the assembly lines of Henry Ford to the open roads of Route 66 and Jack Kerouac, America's history is a vehicular history-an idea brought brilliantly to life in this major work by the acclaimed author of Crash Course: The American Automobile Industry's Road from Glory to Disaster.One of the nation's most eloquent and impassioned car nuts, Paul Ingrassia offers a wondrous epic in fifteen automobiles, including the VW Beetle, the Chevy Corvair, Robert McNamara and Lee Iacocca's Mustang, the Pontiac GTO, Honda's Accord, the BMW 3 Series, and the Jeep, among others. Through them, the author shows us much more than the car's ability to exhibit the particularly American tension between the lure of freedom and the obligations of utility; he takes us through the rise of American manufacturing, the suburbanization of the country, the birth of the Hippy and the Yuppy, the emancipation of women, and so much more, including the car's unintended consequences: trial lawyers, energy crises, and pollution. Narrative history of the highest caliber, Engines of Change is an entirely edifying new way to look at the American story.

    An oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem. For 2,000 years, cadavers-some willingly, some unwittingly-have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. They've tested France's first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure-from heart transplants to gender reassignment surgery-cadavers have been there alongside surgeons, making history in their quiet way.In this fascinating, ennobling account, Mary Roach visits the good deeds of cadavers over the centuries-from the anatomy labs and human-sourced pharmacies of medieval and nineteenth-century Europe to a human decay research facility in Tennessee, to a plastic surgery practice lab, to a Scandinavian funeral directors' conference on human composting. In her droll, inimitable voice, Roach tells the engrossing story of our bodies when we are no longer with them.

    Fourteen simple projects: “Readers will be awestruck by the brilliant designs and . . . sidebars on famous stitcher Ayako Miyawaki, yukata cottons, and more.” —Booklist (starred review)   Improv quilting—in which quilt designs emerge organi­cally as fabric is cut and stitched—is easy, popular, and fun. In this book, expert quilter Patricia Belyea offers improv instruction and shares her appealing Quilt Manifesto of five simple rules. While providing quilters with a starting point, the fifth rule of the Manifesto, “Break any rule you like,” opens the door to creative freedom. (However, the solid instructions allow even the rule-breakers to create beautiful quilts on the first try!)   Fourteen projects combine authentic Japanese yukata cottons and contemporary fabrics; each is finished with bold hand-stitching. The quilt-making process is presented in detail, and each quilt shows the irresistible wabi-sabi influence of Japanese design.   “With fresh designs and useful directions, Belyea's book is both practical and aspirational.” —Publishers Weekly
