The very first time I tried to sell my handmade jewelry was at the Pensacola Flea Market. I didn’t realize this would be a bad idea until I was already in the middle of it. People that shop at the flea market will try to swindle your prices down to practically nothing, and I know this because I am a flea market shopper occasionally. So I didn’t really make any money off this. I don’t understand how those people that make a living off their boothes do it. I really don’t. Well, at least I have learned a trick or too now…this was like 3 years ago.

My booth at the flea market – Can you tell I was a beginner?? lol

And there’s me and my cute self

So lesson learned from this experience..NEVER SELL PRECIOUS HANDMADE JEWELRY AT THE FLEA MARKET!
