I love the little details of my table. Most of the time I see my products as they’re in a package on their way out the door, or stacked in little piles, but never have I seen my products in a setting like this. It’s so great and makes me love what I do even more!

I’ve got a great location — I’m mixed in with old & new friends: The Pleated Poppy, Allora Handmade, Lisa Leonard and Much Ado About You. There’s so much color and greatness.

Love, love my location.

My husband is so sweet. Once we got my booth set-up we realized it really needed a banner, so he did something so amazing and designed me a sign and had it rush printed. I picked it up the following afternoon. Thank you Zacky! :]

    I have done a handmade market lots of fun, when it is inside…outside not so much fun. Your banner looks great and you did need it. It just somehow completes the look of your booth and is more professional.

    my first handmade market was a huge learning experience and SO great. it was outside & it was a perfectly sunny day in the mountains. i had a great response from my customers & felt SO encouraged at the end of the day. the $$ didn’t hurt! :)

    Yay for awesome husbands and that banner rocks!! I have not done a handmade market, but I remember my mom doing tons of craft shows back in the day. :) Love your bunting from Home Ec too! I’m working on one with my daughter’s name. Hope you have another great day and how cool that you’re right by Miss Pioneer Woman herself!!

    Wow – don’t think your banner was up when we were there … it’s awesome – yay, Zack! The round bunting is particularly adorable and when we told others throughout the show we had just popped down to say hi to you, they ALL remarked how “darling” you are. Yep. I agree.

    Love the booth! It does totally change things to see them all perfectly displayed! I did my first event awhile back and I loved it, not alot of people showed but I got a bunch of orders! Still have to tie up some things with the displays though. Love it all!~

    Oh yes, details are important. Many do not realize how much. I see you do, all the colors of your work and on the table are very nice and bright. Basically everything is perfectly nice. So good luck, you seem like the happiest person ever! It is completely understandable, though, it is always good to see actual results of one’s own work, isn’t it?
