I'm taking them on Thursday, and they have to check them in to inventory first. <br /><br />I will be offering them on my website, once I figure out the pricing (and find some clear sleeves to hold them). And create the webpage.Susan Brubaker Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490050360258082767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-51302205304336247622010-02-02T19:40:02.560-05:002010-02-02T19:40:02.560-05:00I like Ruth's idea as well.

I have, in the past, contacted an artist using their information on the back of a card and I purchased several pieces of art from her. I'm sure you will get commissions.beckypbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12257862456247742521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-39655648814193646442010-02-02T18:57:35.620-05:002010-02-02T18:57:35.620-05:00Would you sell them on your website, too?

You need to call her to discuss it. I do know they were individually packaged in plastic bags. I agree have some individual cards for sale and then make up sets as well. I'd easily buy them! I'd probably also frame them and hang in groups!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637174206038014595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-42663214103411811152010-02-02T16:47:23.081-05:002010-02-02T16:47:23.081-05:00Hey Susan,

Thanks for posting about this and where you got them made.<br /><br />Personally, I agree - these are little mini works of art. Mark em' up and don't you dare feel bad about it!<br /><br />Make sure to bring some to the Gardens this weekend. I'm going to try to come and see the exhibit!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-54585066622639061892010-02-02T16:27:22.825-05:002010-02-02T16:27:22.825-05:00Thanks so much for your perspective as a gallery o...Thanks so much for your perspective as a gallery owner, Ruth!

We sell "handmade" cards from $2.00 up to $18.00 per card. I sell lots of cards. You should charge at least $2.00 for your cards wholesale. Could you sell them separately instead of in sets? People don't balk at a $4.00 card - you pay that much for most greeting cards these days. Then you could have packs at the $16.00 retail cost for people who wanted a set. You have to think of these as mini pieces of art that people will take home and frame. A piece of beautiful art is a steal at $4.00.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00590247225202589359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-62562975299634431222010-02-02T16:07:46.535-05:002010-02-02T16:07:46.535-05:00These are simply gorgeous, Susan.These are simply gorgeous, Susan.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-20639428720638066712010-02-02T16:04:56.913-05:002010-02-02T16:04:56.913-05:00Susan, the cards are beautiful!
I'm with you ...Susan, the cards are beautiful!<br /><br />I'm with you on pricing stuff - it's horrible. I think I'd compromise on $1.50 per card/$6 per set. That gives you a small profit for your time and then the store could easily sell them for $12 a set making them $3 per card. Reasonable for anyone.delanequiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903662374228121630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-4698310993194495072010-02-02T15:59:42.433-05:002010-02-02T15:59:42.433-05:00Susan, these cards are beautiful!
