Summerfield Winter Faire - December 3rd & 4th
I spent most of yesterday working on pricing my vintage wares for the Winter Faire. I'm going to be selling vintage ornaments, vintage fabric, vintage sewing supplies, ATG art work, vintage cards and more.
Here's a video on how my pricing went yesterday.
I'm still learning my way around making videos so bare with me while I experiment. There are still a few errors and I've realized seeing the video that close-ups are pretty much useless until I invest in a better camera.
I'm hoping to add more tutorial content during the next year. If there is something that you would like to see in a video please let me know in the comments.
Vintage Ornaments in bags tied with Divine Twine.
Vintage Ornaments & Sequins
Vintage Christmas Cards
The cards will be sold individually in a card rack that I picked up for $3 at a rummage sale. A dream of mine is to own an office supply store filled completely with vintage cards, paper, tools, pens and pencils.
If you are in Sonoma County this weekend, stop by and say hello. I'll be at the school from 5:30 p.m. - 8 p.m. for an adult & teenager shopping evening. I'll also be there on Saturday from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturday is going to be very busy so if you want to avoid the crowds, Friday would be the best day to shop.
Sarah from Sarah's Silks will also be there and last year she had a basket full of discounted "seconds." I was so excited to meet her having been a fan of hers since my daughter was a toddler. Here is a full list of vendors. See you there.
The video was simply shot on a flip camera. I havent figured out the editing process yet so each change is me simply turning the camera off and on :-) As I mentioned in this post, Im at the basic level with my filming skills. I loaded the flip to my mac and then made the movie using the movie feature. It was fun to do and hopefully as I continue they will get better and more interesting.

one of the most interesting things to me about your video was hearing your voice! you don't even realize that you've made an impression about someone's voice until you hear it. i don't know why, but i guess i expected your voice to be lower than it is. isn't that weird? anyway, you have a lovely voice, and the video is great! i love the innovative things you do on your blog and the way you are always trying something new. i'm in BC, so i won't be down for the winter faire, but look forward to reading about how it went!

Selena! How fun to watch your video...I noticed you were saying; "...thinking outside the box," as you were panning around the wooden box of ornaments. ;-) (Natural visual analogy?!) The price stickers do have a bit of a vintage feel, really, with the blue thingy running along the top...not so sterile as the plain white ones. Good call! I'm excited to see your Winter Faire booth this year! (And thanks for the discount for being a fan!)

Super! So easy to listen to and watch...You should be "overall" pleased with your video! You never fail to amaze me! xo A

Selena, the video's great. Wish I was going to be in your area this weekend. Love that first fabric you priced!

You have a lovely melodic voice!
I recently bought one of those sticker guns at the thrift store! Unfortunately, the ink cartridge needs to be replaced, but I think it is going to be very handy.
Oh, and the stickers are neon orange. Guess I'll be replacing those, too! ha!
I also found a price tagging gun - the kind that puts the plastic hang tag holder-thing on. It has been so handy for so many things! It would be great for pricing vintage fabric.
