I'...That is true about the difference in areas. I'm hoping the shabby chic, funky junk look will be a new thing that people will like. So many of the booths here are jewelry. Not sure why, because not many people wear jewelry. Thanks for stopping by and giving your advice and expertise!Prairie Scrapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17051826828338254780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292301382452553774.post-72591318091945600012012-11-01T20:10:09.347-07:002012-11-01T20:10:09.347-07:00What a breath of fresh air your advice is. Too bad...What a breath of fresh air your advice is. Too bad that woman allowed so much to ruin the show for her and others. Things are seldom the way you think they'll be at a show so need to just make the best of it and roll with it, smile smile and smile. The people that go to the show go to buy and not see sour faces or hear sad tales. <br />We used to go to shows alot. One of our first big ones was up in Ft. Benton, MT. It rained almost the whole first day of the show and part of second day. We had brought a canopy so could have a few things out, it poured and the wind blew but here and there were quite a few people. For inexperience show people we did pretty well. We sold several of our benches, stools, country signs I'd stenciled and decorated. We were very encouraged. Did much better than we had expected. <br /> We had really worked hard getting ready for that show. We'd rented a uhaul trailer to take our merchandise and we rented a motel room for 2 nights plus eating. My hubs had worked every day he was home from the road (truck driver) cutting things out.<br /> We really didn't have any idea how our booth would be but we'd planned for any contingency and just went with it rain, cold, wind and all. We did great and we were very pleased with the outcome. We went to more shows after that and did well.<br /> We moved to KY and didn't do so well. It's amazing how different show attendees can be and what they want. After many disappointments we stopped going. People here in western CO don't seem to like the distressed look at all. It's hard to tell what they do like but hopefully we'll find our niche at some point. <br />Have enjoyed reading your blog and seeing your projects.
