I've decided to bite the bullet and participate in my first craft show. I recently joined M.I.C.E. — Michigan Indie Crafters of Etsy — and through them was invited by Kate of chicalookate to join a group of Etsy sellers at the Ann Arbor Sunday Artisans Market. Yikes! The lovely image above was created by Marcy of All Things Grow (just found this on chicalookate's blog and had to add it to the post because I love it!) and the ad below was designed by another MICE member — BarrelOfMonkeys. I've been wanting to start doing shows for a while now, but have always worried about how to display everything, having enough inventory, putting myself out there… etc. But I figured, when an opportunity presents itself so handily, I better just dive right in, commit to it and worry about the details later… well, later is now and the show is June 7th. If you're in the area, come on down and say hi! I'll be the one cowering under my table (do I even have a table?!)!
You'll be fine! Your work is gorgeous and fun. Come on out from under that table, girl!
ReplyDeletethanks for your sweet comment!
ReplyDeleteand not to worry- you'll do great!! it is scary at first, and then you mellow out and it's fun. just think of having a well deserved glass of wine after your day. (or your fave bevie) it's a big step, but totally fun and worth it.
i'll be thinking of you.
