Since it happened to be Rose Day on the day of Fiesta, most of my cards were 'Valentine's Day' centric and few for Friendship and Birthdays. As I had made my decision to put up a stall 2-3 days back only, all the 15-20 cards were made within 2 days including nights :p. They were impossible without mom's help.
I was apprehensive about the response, because initially I thought of selling them at Rs. 70 each but my friends were of the view that I was underestimating my hard work. So we zeroed in on Rs. 150 per card (see the inflation!!!). But this was not all, I realized it require great minds to sell something, to convince people to buy a special card for your special Valentine. Guys were easier to approach; my best card sold for Rs. 250, the least for 100. All in all, with few cards left, I made around 3000 bucks.
Even the posters for the stall were handmade with decorative lace, so they completely stood out from the printed ones. I made them in such a hurry that I missed the chance to click their pictures
An awesome experience, couldn't have been possible without my group!!
