I've never done it before but I can tell that there will be a lot of hard work involved. I have a booth in a Vendor's Mart but I want more hands on. Thanks for the ideas. Hope you get to feeling better and don't give up! :)A Southern Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474441937098224092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407300210049595719.post-80504342079587150972010-09-16T14:30:45.044-05:002010-09-16T14:30:45.044-05:00I can totally relate- did you see my post on my Ju...I can totally relate- did you see my post on my July 3rd Sunday in Bloomington? I felt the same way. I think that a lot of people have no idea how much physical work goes into the loading, set up and take down of a show. I had a couple friends who thought it was the way to quick easy cash- boy did they learn! It's fun, sure, but it is a lot of hard work!Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899596172727294741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407300210049595719.post-676279751937977342010-09-14T15:26:31.645-05:002010-09-14T15:26:31.645-05:00You KNOW I've had days like that...there's...You KNOW I've had days like that...there's just no explainin' it!

Now, I sell at two antique malls and have an Etsy shop. I don't miss shows at all!

It is a lot of hard work, and don't be discouraged. One day at the shop I had a 1200.00 return. I thought I was done in, and the next day I had the biggest day in the history of the shop. Ebb and flow, that's all. You'll be fine as you were meant to do this.<br />Big Hug,<br />AngieAngie@vivalacottagehttp://www.vivalacabin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407300210049595719.post-78016615102739295672010-09-13T17:57:55.814-05:002010-09-13T17:57:55.814-05:00Everything looks just great to me!
