Venues and what's new

Hello reader(s), I have been busy lately, sometimes working on new creations for my Etsy shop when I can. I am considering other venues to post/sell my hand made items since things are so slow. Craft fairs would be great to go to and try to sell my things, however the prices are wayyy too high for the booth spaces...I seriously do not understand why the prices for the merchants are so high at these events. The only thing I can think of is possibly greed and/or crowd control with regards to merchants. Seriously though, it is very disappointing to look at the fees for selling crafts at events..I would have to sell a ton of items to just break even, with almost no profit! I don't see how the merchants make it. So I think I will be sticking to online venues for now..I am currently trying to take a shot at tophatter.com to see if my items can do any better in live auctions *fingers crossed*. 
I have also been coming up with a lot of ideas lately for new items. Coming soon to my Etsy shop and/or tophatter handmade auction will be a couple of double beaded turtle bracelets (one in brown and green there other in blue and green), a Crochet Cross Body Bag in earth tones, some crochet wallets, head bands, and possibly some others. I can't wait to see the feedback from others who see my new items :)

I hope you are having a great week! :)
