My First Craft Show

A couple of weeks ago I entered my first craft show. After weeks of prep, I woke up ridiculously early and headed for Arlington. My first stop was to pick up Bre, who had generously offered to help. The show was held in the Arlington town square. The building used to be a barn, so there was no heat and the doors were wide open. Needless to say, it was FREEZING! They did have two propane heaters set up but you couldn't feel the heat unless you were standing right underneath them! It was kind of hilarious how bundled up we were. I wanted to bring a floor heater but they wouldn't let us due to fire hazard. So Bre suggested we bring heating pads. Whenever we got the chance we would sit on them. Well, at least our butts were warm!
There was actually a pretty good turnout considering how cold it was outside. I made a lot more money than I thought I would. It also gave me the courage to enter another show. My next one is this week at Collierville Elementary School. It's Tuesday, Dec. 15 from 4:30-8:30. Come by and say hi if you get a chance!
My generous step mom embroidered our aprons for us. Thanks Trish!!

Here's our set up. I think it turned out pretty good! Bry made the sign for me and Bre helped arrange (and rearrange) everything. I couldn't have done it without everyone's help!
