We had a bake sale, and made stew - The most unique item we ever had were handmade angels - when they sold like hotcakes, we stopped the bazaar at church and started taking them to craft fairs. over a period of four or five years, We sold over $30,000 in angels which was donated to the church in various ways. You have to be organized and put people where they work the best. We always had a good time and made money. Hard work and be willing to take what's donated without hurting someones' feelings. That was the hardest part - whatever was left over might be given back to the donor, or set aside for later sales. You have to work it out according to your group. Good luck if you decide to go that route.

We are looking at renting tables and letting the ladies and men sell their own items. We will rent them the table plus we will sell food and drinks.

Thinking about opening the renting of the tables to other churches as well.

Tell me more about your angels.
