Thank you! I'm printing the page out and using it as a checklist of sorts, since my next vendor foray is only a month out. You know, this is good enough advice, I think I'll make a bigger link for it :) That is _excellent_ advice! Thank you!

I had a link to a site, which gave hints and tips on craft fairs. And I don't know where I saved the info. I did a quick search on "What not to do at craft fairs", and got a couple of hits. Here is one link http://www.articlesbase.com/hobbies-articles/top-ten-ways-to-not-make-money-at-craft-shows-339829.html Perhaps, if you have a minute or two, you can do a search, and maybe get some more ideas. I hope you took lots of photos of your booth space. Go through them, and make notes of what you would like to change, add, remove, etc. Then just before you start the fair tour next time, refer to your notes and photos. Were you able to wander and check out other booths? A little late now, but take notes, of what you like/dislike... and what draws people in. My first craft fair, I didn't do much better than you. Don't feel bad. Next time, people will be looking for you. -Alice Drat, dang nab it!
