My New Misson!

So recently did to craft shows that werent the biggest money makers but I learned a lot. I learned about display, tents, colors and items that sell. I had some great feedback from more "seasoned" crafters and feel that I can really turn this craft show thing into something. Well I received an email from a friend that told me about a huge event in Rochester that went on and they are accepting applications for next year. They are actually moving the event to a larger venue because of the amazing turnout. So obviously I need more info so I contact the organizer and WOW its quite an enterance fee (please remember I am new at this!) So after much pondering, worrying, and a bit of noratic anxiety I decided I wanted to do it. It gives me a solid 10 months of building inventory and creating my display soooo I need to raise some money for the show...
I am already a quarter of a way there and the deposit I need is due in July so wish me luck!

oh and any critiques, ideas or insights would totally rock!

So tonight is it! Last night before the show and I am soooo nervous. Getting sick really set me behind and I am just afraid I didnt fulfill what I wanted to do for this show...oh well maybe next time. Tutus, legwarmers, headbands, OOAK outfits, and baby bowties are fun vibrant wardrobe additions for those kiddies so be sure to stop by! It looks like its going to rain mid afternoon so be sure to stop by early! We will be setting up at 9am!

Oh and a new one: "Carol Southerland. She doesn't have an Etsy shop (yet) and she is famous (really) for her botanical drawings. Lots of orchids. She teaches at the Botanical Gardens here, and has pieces hanging all kinds of interesting places. Her stuff is amazingly detailed."

Hope to see you all there!!!!

Sketchworks Art Show!

I am going to particpate in my first craft show! I did one over the summer with a friend but this is my first with my etsy shop inventory!! I am psyched because it is being held by a fellow Etsian and I am going to be meet some really great shop owners!
It will be help in Georgia (which is a trip because I am in NY) but it gives me a great excuse to go stay with my parents again


So if you are in the Area come out and visit some great shops!
