Know what you're sayin' about the water and the place to cash out! <br />One small comment.....please, please, please don't let your "brought work" become a fence between your and your customer rather than a demo. That is the biggest thing I see when I go to craft marketplaces...people heads-down working, or reading, without even an acknowledgement that people are at the booth. <br />Although you certainly don't seem to be that kind of person, I think many vendors have much difficulty connecting with the public~which you certainly must do at a show/sale. Bringing along a friend who can and will is a great idea.

It is definitely something you either love or you don't. Some fellow vendors taught me to use a large plastic 3 drawer organizer. (the ones that resemble a small night stand) I keep my money and bags in the top drawer and my boxes and bags in the remaining two. Comes in very handy when it's rainy outside and keeps the damp off my boxes. I secure it with bungees to keep the drawers closed when I transport it. I agree with you, my #1 best item to take is baby wipes. I can clean my mirrors, book cases, dirty tables and hands with them.

I am so glad you accomplished your goals and that you were so pleased with the show. My goodness, you did so many things RIGHT! And I love learning from what you learned! I also must add that you were a tremendously helpful FRIEND and Prayer Support to me prior to and during the sale. You have great capacity to create beauty, to love, and to share what God has put inside you. I love who you are and I love that He chose for our paths to cross and to encourage our friendship! We will do coffee soon...maybe when it's cool enough to enjoy something warm to drink!!! Thank you for helping our barn sale be a super success. We were so thankful and pleased. Much love to you!
