Craft Shows

I have never done a craft show. I have all of the "how to do a craft show" books, but I have never actually gotten up the nerve to apply and try to do one. That is about to change.

This year, there is a craft show that is being held by a big promoter in this area, and it is LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY HOUSE! If I can get in, how much easier could that be? I would be close to home, so if I forgot anything or screwed anything up, I could just call my husband or my uncle (who lives a mile away and is an engineer) to help me or bring me something I forgot.

So, I am biting the bullet. I am clearing out a space in my attic to set up my 3-year-old 10x10 tent for the first time ever. I am finding tables, and I bought display pieces. I am sewing up table cloths. I am taking picture after picture to try to get good pieces for the jury. I am debating paying a professional, even.

It's an exciting and scary time. Wish me luck!

Delving into New Arenas....

So, I am in the process of filling out applications for my first craft shows. It's scary. One show is juried. Even scarier. Can my jewelry hold its own in a jury selecion? How about my photography? Should I hire someone? It's all so overwhelming. fortunately, it DOES look like all of my business paperwork is in order.

On a good note, I am finally figuring out my photo editor. better pictures! Yay!

And, I designed a new pendant that I love! Wahoo! Pics and listings later. Still trying to edit the pictures I took, and get those things listed.

Exciting times.
