I'll be doing my first show tomorrow. It's very low key, easy. Tractor Supply has a "Farmers Market" this Saturday. Diane (wife) did it right before covid and actually did pretty well. I don't expect to sell much but it will give me a chance to set up, get my feet wet and get a little more response on my offerings. Diane will be selling mostly stained glass hearts and painted rocks. She's got a lot of hearts. I'll be offering wire wraps, fridge magnets and cabochons. I mostly have the cabochons for custom wraps. We've recruited a few vendors and I'm not sure what else will be there. Our next door neighbor Lisa is a talented water color artists who does a lot of smaller paintings. Lupe across the street makes incredible smoked salsa. He sells lots of it already. I get it free because Diane designed and prints his "Make Salsa Great Again" labels. He has a buddy that does amazing tie die and my brother in law who makes fishing lures and poles will have a space. The rules: Space size-whatever you need Start time-"We open at 8, you can be here a little early if you want" End time- "whenever you've had enough and pack up" Should be a good place to start. I have about 40 wire wraps and 85 magnets ready.

..."Make Salsa Great Again"...
Haha! I think this is funny regardless of your political leanings. 😀

I'll take some pics and post. I'm sure we'll have time. It's Tractor Supply and we're a town of about 28,000.

Yes pebblesky I posted some of her painted rocks a while back here. I said something about posting this pic. She said she hadn't planned on taking those but I talked her into it. She said they were old and she does much better now. I thought they looked familiar but there has been a serious number of painted rocks pass through this house.

It is the first time I saw sand dollar stuff. So eye catching!

It's a nice craft show just looking at the painted rocks. Wish we lived closer, we would be there. Good luck with your sale.

Sounds like a great first show. The rules are fantastic. Most shows have strict set up and take down times.
I love the Day of the Dead painted rocks. The "Sand Dollars" are pretty cool too.

Good Luck at your first show rockbrain , is it a weekly or monthly thing they do ? The sand dollars are fabulous. Funny, here I find real sand dollars & have made some pendants & earrings out of small ones. And of course have to have measures to protect them from breaking . Your wife's are indestructible ! Lovely
