Craft shows are easy! All you need to do is setup a tent, a table and the customers will buy everything you have in 2 days. That is what everyone thinks!! LOL!!! The truth is craft shows are not as ease as you think. There is a lot of work that goes into those 2 days for the possibility of selling one item for the entire weekend. Craft shows are a hard business. If you are not setup to invite the customer in to stop and look, guess what!!! They won't look. Craft shows are not easy!!!

I've been wanting to get involved with Portland Saturday Market for over a decade. Three years ago I tried to get in but was declined. They have a jury to approve or decline your artwork. I finally got jury approval last year and started selling this year. I must say that since I started PSM I have learned a lot. This made me think that maybe others would like to hear about what we go through. Craft shows and the market is currently taking up a lot of brain power and my time. I thought I would add a blog series about doing craft shows. At least for awhile. This will go along with my embroideries. I can't help it! It is what is going on in my life right now. Embroideries and craft shows!!!
