Tips for Preparing for a Show

My attention was drawn to a post by Felicia over at Fluffy Flowers. First off, I found myself wondering why I hadn’t stumbled across her blog before now? She has some great work, and some awesome posts. The post I’m writing about today is actually a series of posts on how to prepare and set up for selling your handmade items at a weekly farmers market. Now, this is a very specific type of sales venue, but so much of the information Felicia talks about is very applicable to any type of art/craft show/fair/etc. I thought it was important to spread the word. If you are preparing for your first venture into this type of selling, or if you are a veteran shower, I highly recommend taking a look at the articles, and you’re bound to find something helpful. I’ve linked to the five individual posts below.
