On Saturday, I participated in my first craft fair, and it was a success. Of course, I have some things I can improve next time, but overall it was a great experience. I took items from both of my shops, but earrings were by far my best sellers. The day was scorching hot... until a rain shower came in. Fortunately I was able to cover my table, and the rain stopped after about ten minutes. I even made a sell during the storm to a little girl who spotted some earrings she likes earlier! The rain did cool everything off for a short time. Next time, I hope to have some sort of covering over my booth... either a tent or umbrella.
Here are a couple of photos from the event...

I used shutters to hold my earrings. That was a tip I got when I was preparing for the show, and it worked out great!
And to think, I have spent all weekend researching what license I need to be a vendor at shows in my town and wondering where to start! This is a great post. The idea about the shutters is great! Your table looks wonderful! I love the colorfulness of it and it seems so inviting. Congrats on a successful first craft fair!
