It is very HARD WORK and the reason I quit. It just got to be too much with setting up, etc.
I'm happy I quit because for the first time I can do things for myself and family! When you add up all you spend on supplies.... you really don't make enough to pay you for such hard work....Happily retired from craft shows!

I am sure nothing can happen to your stock which was left over from the sale. Why not keep it and make something different to compliment it for the next sale. Hope you had fun, even though you were exhausted.****

The shows are exhausting especially for those of us with health troubles. Get rested before you decide what to do with it all. It may take a few days to recover.
For the future, it may be easier to open an Etsy account. You and your daughter could do it together and have fewer deadlines. No wind or rain and people can shop while you sleep.
Craigslist or something like it would work for fewer items and no desire to do more.

I put my "leftovers" in clear plastic box(es) with a scented sachet. It protects them from water, lets me see I am ahead of the next show and they smell wonderful for the next sale.

Rest for now and decided what to do later. Your product does not "spoil" (like a food product) and is not for a specific holiday (that is really only good around that holiday), etc. so you have it until someone wants something (then it is ready to go - no work) or until you are stronger and decided to do another show. If you decided you don't want to do another show - try etsy.

Hope you had fun with the show, but for now just rest and don't think of what you're going to do with your left overs. They will still be there in a week when you feel up to making decisions. Then either store it for future sales, put it up on etsy or another site or donate the goods to a local charity. If they are all little girl dresses, there are lots of places that would put them to good use. One that immediately comes to mind is a shelter for abused women and children. Often these women leave their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs and have to depend for a while on the kindness of strangers.

Lots of good suggestions for you and if you have a consignment shop you might want to sell some of the little dresses there. Sometimes you get customers that want what you are selling so another showing might work out well for you.

I would say keep it for your next sale - you'd be a little ahead - since you are considering doing it again. Being there and seeing what others are doing should give you a better idea now after doing one.
Take care and get your rest and then decide.

Just keep it for "next time" or find a consignment shop. I sell in the gift shop of a rest home on consignment. Most of the retirement/rest homes have a gift shop and I've sold bibs as well as jewelry there. The folks are not able to get out to buy a gift for family members and it is also easy shopping for the workers.

Store your leftovers in totes. This keeps them clean and easy to transport the next time.
