Start at your local farmers market (if you have one).
Ask to speak with the head co-ordinator and present your ideas and perhaps set up a kiosk.
Good luck!
craigslist.org has places you can put some ads up.
try kaboo.com you can go to your area and sell sell sell
hay try targeting the demographics you want to approach, try leaving flayers on cars at places you know have those demographics
Flea market is usually the best. can you set up a table in a mall? we see a lot of people doing that here.
go to flea markets and usually you can rent a booth to sell your items. i live in houston and we have place called traders village and this place called armadillo flea market, where when you walk in you go to the customer service, pick the size of your booth and pay a rental agreement.
try selling them in eBay
There are a lot of ideas and tips on these pages at my site (…my site has to do primarily with polymer clay, but most of the “business” info would apply to any craft):

Well here are some suggestions that you could do to sell your items.
- Put an ad in a local newspaper letting them know what you offer
- Word of mouth(It reallys helps) and also flyers
- Showcase your items at a location you know that is busy(You might have to ask the owners for permission) Set of table and chairs
-Do you have any business cards? if you don’t put them in stores(Check to see if its alright to do that.)
Well I hope everything works out for you
