- We share the results of our christmas craft market! We managed to turn $34 worth of inventory supplies including show costs (24 in supplies and 10 show cost) into $960 profits! It was a 3 hours market! We were half sold out 15 minutes into the show starting! We show a full craft show TOUR!
Congratulations Elysia, Chase and Dayton on a successful Christmas Market. What a wonderful turnout and profitable day for you all. I'm sure you all shined with approachable personalities. Way to go English family. 🤟
What a great thing to do with the boys . I noticed each vendor had their own style . I loved watching this . Good Job !
Yes they do:) It was a lovely display there
I’m so happy that you did so well, and had fun doing it! The boys are getting an education in business too! Way to go, Mom!
Glad you had such a successful sale, you do beautiful work
Glad to hear you say to stay until the show ends. I have made some reallygood sales in the last few minutes. Glad you did well.
We stay for respect of the host. I find it rude when vendors leave early no matter how much they have sold. I have ran events before so I know how much time goes into each preparation!
So admire both you and Philip on how you keep the boys involved. It sure teaches them value of people and family. Good job on the craft market. Look forward to next year also.
So proud of the boys and you of course. You have a real talent with people and your art.. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Elysia. My sister and I used to do flea markets. One time a woman in a neighboring stall came up to us and told us not to approach the buyer because it pressures them into buying. So we sat back and did what the woman said and sales dropped at our stall and the "helpful neighbor" started socializing with the buyers. We were duped. We went back to greeting people and sales went up again.
Boys are growing up so much, they are so sweet and oh so cute.
Congratulations.
That's a great tip, keeping everything the same price. I know from doing shows, you definitely need to greet your customers and explain your product. Great job.
Hi English family ... many many congratulations on your successful craft fayre ... what fantastic memories you have made not only for yourselves but for all who purchased from you ... such beautiful treasures to have ... sending much love your way from the UK 🇬🇧 xxx
I love how creative your family is. Your crafts are unique and great quality. Keep up the good work English family!!!
My favorite thing I saw in the video was the person that did all the crocheting and didn't of the different kinds of head pieces and scarves to keep you warm. 🤟🤗
Congratulations! The boys are adorable and must be so proud at your success! I’m doing a show next weekend and I love your tips about similar prices and lower price points! You’re so sweet to share all your tips! My favorite was the ships and truck with the lobster cages. 💕
Congratulations to you and the boys. What a great life lesson you are teaching them
What a great way for the boys to earn Christmas money
While this was a great family endeavor, I also saw how your boys learned both financial and social skills! In years to come they can look back on these times and recognize what the rewards of hard work and creative invention add to their lives! Blessed and safe days!
Well done congratulations ❤love your family you have worked together with you amazing boys ❤ love Carol Adelaide 🇦🇺🇦🇺Australia
Watching this show video, there was a large crowd and interesting items, but nothing as nice as your table. That is a terrific profit.
What A Sweetheart you are to share so many professional tips with us!! I am very thankful to you and your family.
Merry Christmas to you all🎄⛄
Hello beautiful family. 😍
OMG that’s awesome, I’m so happy for you all. Great job boys!!
Thank you for this update. So glad you all had fun and that it was a success!
Congratulations on your profitable show.
That was a nice little chunk of change to
go towards setting up for the new members of the family. 🐎🐎 😀👏🏻👍🏻
I think that everything you said Elysia was so 100% right on and exact!!! I have what I think might be one or two great ideas! LOLOL. Can you work on ornaments for more of this winter…. Even if you need a little break. Then, have some that Chase and Dayton do mostly on their own and let them get their own table next year for like $5 ornaments (You could even do this online) and then they can work their own table next to yours. They can sell just the stuff that they made and that would be a great draw! They can sell whatever might be left over online on your site after the sale as you could. They could make their own money for college or their savings accounts. You can be on a table right next to them. They can do more simple sea themed type merchandise as could you! Or just you can do more of the difficult things like the boats and some of the other stuff that is more difficult. You could do just a few things that are more expensive than even your second to highest amount. The people that aren’t mailing them can purchase those. And if your table was on the empty side in the last half hour to an hour then the market can probably support or absorb the cost of the two tables of the things that you have to sell! Lots of possibilities and options for you guys! And if you put 2023 on the new type of sea themed (or other) things people will repeat buy as long as they are different enough. I went online and purchased some of your ornaments (4) and I will continue to buy ornaments from you next year if they are kinda different and have a year painted on them. Even different colors. I should have been a business major instead of a nurse (just kidding), but I even have more ideas unless I told you them all. But an extra $900 or $1000 plus for your barn and corral and food and anything else for your horses is really a lot of money!!! Just think of what a vet costs! Anyways, no matter what you decide, I wish you and your family all the best! You might want to have a family round table to discuss it! LOLOL. Have a wonderful week!!!
I typed the above with a minute or two left and you have already thought of some of the stuff that I put on here. Great minds…. lol just kidding!
What a lovely show and community. 🍁
So many unique and quality handmade items. I wish you had artist links, I want to shop! So nice to see the boys. 🥰
Hello Elysia, Dayton,Chase and Philip this was definitely a great show wow what a fantastic sale you all did great !!!God Bless ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant result, Elysia. I had no doubt whatsoever that you would absolutely rock the show. Congratulations. And thank you for the tour of the other stalls. It really stood out to me that almost all vendors reflected the location (i.e. Nova Scotia) in their offerings. It really warmed my heart to see how enthusiastically the public supports makers and crafters in your community. Can’t wait to see what you will produce for your new website shop! Love from Ireland!
Beautiful table presentation.
Thank you very much!
Congratulations on your success. What great memories you have made with the boys.
Congratulations on a successful event!!! You and the boys did an amazing job!
And to be able to add those profits to the horses ❤🎉❤🎉!!!!! Yay !
Congratulations!!!! The idea you had to start early for the craft fair will be very beneficial! And if you sell seasonal items on your website as well will be amazing for us that live far away lol I ordered the polar bear!!!
Congratulations! Looks like they need to move to a larger space next year! The boys are really growing in wisdom and stature, thank you for sharing.
The old sea captain carvings were phenomenal. Love the pictures framed in driftwood, I think. Everything is so different than the West Coast craft fairs.
You did so well, good for you guys.
Oh now you have giving me the bug. Congrats to you all.
Nice boys. Great day!!
WOW.... what a great show!!! 💙💙💙💙💙 Way to go Elysia, Chase & Dayton for making the market fantastic for your fellow Canadians!!!
Your Booth looked so great ! CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SALES ! Well done ! Well done !!!
I think it is fantastic that you and the kids worked together to make and sell crafts!
YAY, great job, English Family. Ornaments looked fantastic. Much love and hugs from Arizona
YOUR KIDS ARE ADORABLE & AMAZING!! XXOO. Well done! I'm so excited about your new shop; gonna go now!
I am so happy you did so well. I knew you would. This was fun to see the boys so thrilled too! I am excited for the site to order things. You are one of the first diyers I found and I absolutely loved watching you create from recycled things you found in the dump and such! I will look forward to more things on your site! Blessings to your family-Tammy
With the leftovers decorate your Christmas tree and take pictures for a reminder of the craft show.🙏🏾🥰💖💯💫
You are an amazing Mother and role model. Way to go Elysia English!
Wow! That is FANTASTIC! With you being so creative, your boys fell so close to that tree! Congratulations to the three of you. I had no doubt!!!
A lot of your tips are right on and as a host we appreciate those who stay the full time and don’t pack up early, means a lot to us and says a lot about the vendor as well.
Congrats! Great success and well done knowing what drives sales. My best markets were always those where I had lots of ornaments and stocking stuffer items, along with a few specialty gift or decor items at a higher price point. So wonderful to see the boys so engaged in creating and selling! They were clearly enjoying themselves. Fantastic project.
Congratulations! Well done boys. What a wonderful experience to share as a family. You all worked so hard and it payed off. So happy for you all! ❤️
Congratulations!!!! You can be proud of everything that was done together and having fun. Loved the items and the smiles!

Congrats on your market 🙂 Great job.
Also thanks for showing us around the market, some incredible artists.
Keep on keeping on English family.
Oh my goodness! My pocketbook is flowing. So many good items. 💜
Looks like a waited for day from many locals. The Blue Heron is beautiful 😍
I'm so tickled you did so well. Now is the time you need to make notes of what sold for you and others, if it's something you can incorporate into the future. If you had any seahorses left I would be interested in. I was raised in a small town in Massachusetts that had a seahorse as a town mascot 💜
Wow awesome you guys it’s so nice to see a real homemade craft show I could I have bought a few things myself everyone is so talented
Great job.
Merry Christmas, good job, everyone. ❤️
Congratulations on your successful show! 🤗

Congratulations English family.
Now all the animals and people can settled back into the everyday living at the English cottage.
Love you.
Hello from Fla.
Well done. I done a Christmas fair last week and made £7.00 🤣🤣🤣
We were about the same. Wifi wouldn't work and people weren't spending
SO GLAD YOU HAD SUCH A PROSPEROUS DAY
So awesome!!
Glad yall had fun
Great job on craft show. Really great tips. I have been to craft shows as a seller and buyer, and being engaged is so key. Well done Chase and Dayton. Merry Christmas.
Congrats on a big success!
I used to do vending shows with a special design baby blankets, unique coverlet, one of a kind bed spreads, pot holders, chabby chic decrative pillows, etc.
And incorporated upcycled vintage fabrics with the new, I'd average $400. A day and only spend around 20 to 40 dollars on supplies, the site costs varied.
You are correct in every tip you gave, I also hand a decorated shoe box ppl could put there name on for a free drawing at the end of the day, it would bring so many shoppers back, especially if it was a huge venue, you know how ppl don't want to lug around big items all day, it worked perfectly, I gave away 6 free items, so they didn't think they had a slim chance of winning and not come back, they were all upcycled and didn't cost me anything but a little time.
I miss doing the vending shows like that.
The last show I did was just paintings I created, sold quite a few, but I think I'll just create an etsy acct. As we get older, we need easier venues, lol
What a great show well done those boy's of yours are growing up fast.
Congratulations! You all did it!!
That was great, thanks for sharing.
Really impressed with your boys!
Your home made items are wonderful!
