| you don't realize all the work it takes just to get into a show..... with applications, photos, fees, set up, making your goods and pricing....its a lot of work, physically and mentally. This is a practice run at home trying to make my 10 x 10 foot area nice and appealing..... |
 |
| the day before we loaded and reloaded the truck...wow! was I happy it all fit.....John is so good at getting everything in just right! |
 |
| we got to the area that was marked for our space and set up...All went well, nice and smooth...thankful for practice runs... |
 |
| setting up the displays just how you want them is what takes some time the first time around.....next show will be quicker now that we have the hang of it.... |
 |
| we are "ready" it was a very HOT morning, little cloudy....... |
 |
| was happy with our set up and had gotten so many nice compliments.... |
 |
| we displayed mixed media art and jewelry...... |
 |
| some painted vintage suitcases...... |
 |
| We met so many lovely people......had a bunch of sales......then we saw the weather changing......and quickly...... |
 |
| Wow! did it get dark......we were hoping it would miss the show but no luck! It rained and it poured from 11 am till around 2 or 3... was so thankful for our tent and sides.... we pretty much stayed dried...we had so many lovely people come into our tent to get out of the rain.... lucky for us they liked our things and started buying gifts, then Christmas gifts, while they were waiting out the storm... was so happy that a nasty weather day turned into many sales for us... but sorry for our many friends who live in Freehold NJ that had such terrible destruction from this storm.... can't wait for our next show Ocean Grove Craft Show Sept. 1st 9 till 4 hope to see you there.... |
Laura,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is just gorgeous! I am in love with your banner. Plus, your booth is set up beautifully. I have been to quite a few craft fairs (it's one of my favorite things to blog about!) and yours is one of the better set ups I've seen. I'm adding your blog to my follow list and excited to see what you'll post!
