My First Craft Show Experience...

I'm happy to report that I survived my first Craft Show experience...woo hoo! The Craft Show was a small venue, with only a few handmade vendors, thus more of a Holiday Boutique, but nonetheless I enjoyed myself and everyone enjoyed my Coffee Burlap Tote Bags- score! :)

The Vendor Aprons worked like a charm! :)

Before leaving the house I organized all of my merchandise and put them into baskets, thus we had a quick (and painless) setup!


I had agonized about how I was going to display the Coffee Burlap Tote Bags for weeks before the Show, and unfortunately came up empty handed after searching on the internet for ideas/tutorials. I sat down with a sketch pad and pencil and came up with the PVC contraption shown below...which worked like a charm! I'll post a mini tutorial on how to make a handbag display piece on Tuesday! :)

  2. Oh- cool! I like your picture from the show. That tote bag holder is a great idea.

    I am going to sign up for a show (first attempt!) in the next month or so and I am trying to decide how to set up my table. I like the idea of having everything ready to go in containers beforehand. I was thinking of using glass punch bowls to hold all my small items, although that could get heavy to carry in.

    1. Dollar tree has plastic punch bowls that you could decorate or use napkins or scarves to line.
