Finally... my first craft show

[Barbara Jean]

I did my first craft show today (that is why I haven't checked in much this week). It is a two day one so I go back tomorrow. (Yay, I'm no longer a craft show virgin :clap::smilielol5:). Here are some photos I took. I am sure my setup will get better when I do more shows. Not bad for my first time though, imo.

Oh yay!! YEah the first time I did a craft show I was sooo worried but by the time I got all set up and it started...it was not as a big deal as I thought. Your set up is sooo cute!

That looks great Barbara. I need to work on my table set up. Mine was pretty pathetic.

Congrats! It looks great!

Thanks everybody! I just got in (and finished eating my funnel cake I brought home) and I am pooped. Today was lotsssss slower than yesterday and it was HOT... like 92 degrees. Yuck.

Yesterday I sold quite few paci clips, infant beanies, crochet headbands and ribbon sculptures (fish, lollipops... thanks to Vanitha's tute, and butterflies). Everyone loved the kufis and newsboy caps but were afraid it would be too hot for them.
Today I sold mostly wooden bow holders, applique embellished clippies and marabou puffs the most.

I got my tent from Sam's Club (Sam's Club - samsclub.com (http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=376280)). It was $197 but it came with the sidewalls, awning, and a roller bag that makes it super easy to carry.

Thanks, Shannon. It really means a lot coming from you!

You can tell your products are all really well made and I bet they could sell themselves without an elaborate display. But your display is great too!! Love the racks you've used. Really orangized, bright, colorful, inviting - just what you want for your booth. Keep it up! Now that you've done a show you know how your stand flows and where you may or may not want to make adjustments. The worse part for me is I am always adding new products and I feel like i'm always changing things to make it all fit. But that's all part of the fun of it too. Really excited for you Barbara!

Everything looks great!! Can I ask where did you get the tall spinner rack?

Everything looks great! I would not have thought it was your 1st show :)

I got the rack off of ebay in Germany. It was very inexpensive. I got two but have only used the one. I got a spinning peg board from a local boutique that went out of business for $15.
