So I left my house bright and early Saturday morning with a tank full of gas and a hot coffee. Things were going fine until I ran into major traffic on the highway. They had it down to one lane for several miles and it was a total bottleneck! Luckily I had left early but it still made me feel really squeezed for time. When I got to the show (surprisingly without getting lost) there were helpers everywhere! They assisted by helping me bring my things in and finding my booth.
I liked the lay out of the show and really loved that tables and chairs were included!
So I got my booth set up just in time and was fortunate enough to have nice vendors on either side of me. As always, there were loads of jewellery booths there and a few bitchy vendors but all in all it was positive. Sales were pretty good and customers were lovely. I will do this show again next year.
What I really took out of this whole experience was a realization that I really can do this by myself and actully how much better it will be. There was less stress for sure and I would never have guessed that. It was positive and nice.
So, I talked a lot of smack about my booth and while I didn't get to spend the time on it that I had wanted to, I did snap a picture and I think it looks pretty cute. I got lots of compliments from customers, the show promoters and even a few other vendors which made me feel good.
Of course you will see that Mimi and Lola were on either side of the table, my new neck displays were along the back and I had two white plates. One had Piper Shaw necklaces, the other had finer charm type necklaces for adults. I had two of the tiered pastry displays. One had earrings and one had hair accessories. I also had two raised cake plates that both had bracelets. The look was finished with two sweet little jewelled mirrors and cute signage. I was pleased with it but am already thinking of ways to make it look better!
