I am always happy to see the end of the week get here but this week I'm especially happy. While I had a great time at my fair (hi to any of my fair readers!!), it's been a crazy tiring week and I'm ready to relax for a couple of days. I took a few pictures the first day of the fair which I've finally gotten around to uploading. Here's what my tables looked like:
This is a straight on view of the front of the table. I have all my various covered notebooks (comp journals, jr legal pads, mini comp journals), checkbook, photo brag books and in the far left a few nugget tins.
Up top I have gift sets, binder clips and a couple of mosiac flower pots I had created.
I had two tables for this fair - this is the second table. Here I have my iris folded cards (I charge more for those), notecard sets, memo cubes and little tins decorated and filled with candy.
Here are my two card spinners. This is the first fair that I had two. Each spinner holds 72 designs and I got them at Displays 2Go if you are in the market for card spinners. I have to say the service was very good and the shipping was reasonable, given the size of these things. They break down for transport which makes it (fairly) easy to take to fairs.
If you look close, you can see my mom behind the spinner. She came the first day to help me finish my set up and keep me company.
This was where you could find me all week. I'm hoping to do a few articles over the next few months that focus on craft fair do's and don't's and some ideas for those of you considering jumping into the fair circuit.
But for tonight, I'm going to relax - have a great night!
This is amazing! What an awesome set up! How often do you do fairs, is it worth it?

As usual you table looks great. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to stop in to see you but as you know I no longer work in that location. My friend has also moved to another office and we were emaiing each other saying we were going to miss seeing you this time. I hope you had great success this time. We just love the cards you make. I still can give away any of the cards I bought from you in the past. They really have to be special before I give them up. I just love them! I still haven't had time to even attempt to make anything. As you mentioned the weather is finally getting nice and I've been spending my time outside finally.
