That’s right webbie friends, and real-life carbon form friends, I have never EVER vended at a craft show. Sure, I helped market and put together a show, have been to multitudes of them. But, truth be told, I’m kind of a scaredy cat. I’m about to have to get over that though….
Because I’m going to be in my very first craft show! During SXSW, nonetheless. Eee gads. The illustrious Hannah Stoney, the lady behind this event, put together a lovely video promo for the event, and there is a Facebook event page dedicated as well. RSVP to come! I’d love to meet you, and you can revel in the ugliness of my booth, as I’m sure I’ll be wholly unprepared.

You are awesome! AND you will have a GREAT SHOW!! You know why? Because you’re going to get person after person coming into your booth and saying to each other, and to you, how cute your things are. It never fails. Shows are always a bit stressful beforehand, but don’t forget to enjoy yourself the day of, all day! I wish you best of luck and I wish I could be there! HUGS!

p.s. I wrote this (hopefully) comprehensive article about setting up your booth last year, and I hope it helps! http://www.craftyscout.com/2010/04/merchandising-your-crafty-booth-a-step-by-step-guide/

It went pretty well… it was a small show. And didn’t get as much traffic as it should have, but I enjoyed the experience!
