I'm sure you'll have lots of your business cards so people can look up your website to order more stuff. If your kits & products don't sell out, I'm sure your loyal blog readership will be interested in them :). Also, if you can manage to make wallets (to match your cool new totes, or your mail bags) to sell for under $10, that might be good for several reasons. Introduction to your wonderful fabric combinations and a reminder that they could have an awesome matching bag perhaps online later on, or a reminder of how well the fabrics work together if they buy the kit or look up the kit online later, less expensive items as some bloggers have pointed out seems to be in demand this season, and also advertising for your site as the buyer and possible secondary receiver see your wonderful work and label. Take this with a grain of salt as I've never sold at a craft fair before, but it seems reasonable :P.

I've been thinking about starting a stockpile of things I make and selling them at some point in the not too distant future. And I've begun to overthink the process. Will I make enough? Will I make too much? Will people think I have no talent at all? So I'm looking forward to hearing about your experience. Oh how fun!

I'm wincing in sympathy for your newly organized workroom :P. I also immediately thought you should put together kits for some of your patterns because you do have a wonderful flair for putting fabrics together. Too many choices might be paralyzing to the buyers, but two or three combos per pattern with a display of the final product would be very cool. This could also streamline the cutting process. Good luck on the craft fair, exceptyou probably don't need it because your products look beautiful! Those bags look beautiful. I’m wincing in sympathy for your newly organized workroom :P .
