Selling at craft shows is tough. You're lucky if it is only a 9 hour day... on a weekend. It's lots of standing. And I don't always eat too healthy. (Those darn cupcake & chocolate booths are my doom!)
As an alternative, I've started looking for some bricks & mortar locations where I can vend warpeDesign. It's great for customers who need to think about a purchase. They don't have that worry that the item they want wont be there tomorrow (hehe... unless it sells!). I know this is especially true for the lamps. It's hard to buy one at a show. You want to make sure it fits your decor... and your budget. I'm all for making good decisions with your money and your home. By getting my products into a few select places, I hope to give you the opportunity to take that time.
To start you can see the tea light covers at Clay, Wood, & Cotton in Beacon, NY. They've been there for a few months. The store is pairing each one with a free candle & glass. It's an awesome deal.
And as of last week I have lamps at Homebody Boutique in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY. At the store you'll be able to purchase a full lamp - not just a shade as on Etsy. They are running from $120 to $140 depending on the size, materials, and detail in the shade. It's another great deal.
I'll do my best to keep posting new locations and products as they get out there. Have fun shopping!
