I am only a few days into my spring break and my fingers already hurt from cutting out and gluing magnets - and I still have a long way to go. This Saturday is my first craft fair! I think it's a good one to start out with because it's not huge, it wasn't expensive, and it's in town. I'm making as many magnet sets as I can because whatever I don't sell Saturday I will take with me next weekend to Pocatello for my next craft fair! That one is going to be a lot bigger. And they also really want you to do major decorating on your tables...that's where I'm screwed. I have no idea what to do with decorating. In my mind I just want to set out my magnets and be done with it. Turns out these craft fairs are as much about decorating as they are about selling your product. Who knew! I'll take pics of my booth and put them up here. Maybe after I'm a seasoned "crafter" my table will look like a pro!
What's nice about it though is I will go up Thursday evening to set up and then I can come home and don't have to go back until Saturday afternoon to work a 2-hour shift and break down by booth. It's one of those indoor fairs where they have a central check-out; I just have to put my price and my craft # on each item and they keep track of how much money I make and then send me a check. I'm totally down with that.
