How well do crafts sell?

There is definitely a market for crafts out there. I make and sell popcorn
wreaths and only take orders for them at the market (they sell for $35). I
also do mini-bales during October and they sell best when decorated with
mini-gourds and popcorn ($2.25 - $3 each).

We used to have a soap maker who also had herbal hand lotions and such.
They seemed to do quite well. I think that craft items at farmers' markets
will do best when they are consistent with the theme or idea of a farmers'
market.
