Chain Maille bracelet by Katie Mullins
One of the least expensive and most successful places that I sell my work is at our local farmers market which is every Saturday from 8 am to 12 noon about 10 minutes from my house. It is a market that sells local and organic foods, and showcases local artisans.
You don't need a fancy booth. One table and a tent is fine. Actually one of the vendors doesn't even have a tent. It costs $30 per week, which is easy to make back, and you find loyal clientele that come back every week.
I have found that people that are willing to pay more for organic food are also willing to pay more for handcrafted items. So my advice is to look for non-traditional places to sell your art.

Great advice, I do henna tattoos at our local Farmer's market & you are right, the people who visit are bigger spenders than a lot of other places
