New Gallery for me??? Visiting today. (OT?)

Make sure you stop into this fairly new shop, "Goddess of Whimsy". Melissa the owner would probably love your jewelry and definitely does consignment. Good luck vibes coming your way!

Is it ok to sell in two shops in the same town?

(:/ I shouldn't assume the first lady will like my stuff.... If I get too excited the "down" after I'm rejected is terrible).

Where is Goddess of Whimsy located?

Why not?

I've not been there myself but my sister-in-law has and she recommended I bring my jewelry there. If you see hand bound books and cards and such under Prairie Spirit, that's my SIL and her good friends' handcrafted items.

There you go, Marisa. :=)

It is my understanding that unless someone asks for exclusive outlet rights, and compensates by advertising or other promotion for you, there's nothing wrong with placing your work in several places.

I try to avoid too much of it, because this is a small town, and because I have favorites I like to patronize.

Legalistic thinking is fine in some cases. BUT, if you put your things in shops too close to each other, you may piss off both owners and end up with neither. Better to ask how the first one to handle your creations feels about having competition close by.

And I wouldn't sign such a contract unless you get a really good deal... that they take a fairly small cut and guarantee so many $$$$ in sales.

Yes, my sister and I do different lines all under our label. One is a more bead line of bracelets, earrings, necklaces, the other is more metalworks. So we can get different things in different places...and though we both work in the same media, we are very different in our styles. For us it's great for being in the same region with sales.
