Thank you so muc...Kathy, this is a wonderful post. Thank you so much. I am considering vending sometime soon and have been on the fence of setting up a booth in early December. I may not be ready though, especially psychologically for some reason.<br /><br />I loved seeing how you and your neighbors set up your booths so beautifully. Everything is tasteful and so special. I do understand what you mean about lighting. The only place that I felt had enough light was a fair in a school cafeteria.<br /><br />I have been working on an unconventional display item that would work good for a big space or an outside fair. I don't know if you saw my post about decorating an umbrella clothesline (covering the white plastic with yarn and fabric strips)? I can use it to hang blankets, clothing and banners from and I think that it is a cool idea ... thought it all up on my own!<br /><br />Best of luck in your selling season; hope all goes well.<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-26533792055474884062011-11-16T08:24:10.292-08:002011-11-16T08:24:10.292-08:00Howdy Kathy!

Your booth is full of lovely items and I have to say, when I think of all that has gone into the items you have made....you are such a talented Lady!!! Beautiful items.<br /><br />It is always a blessing to hear from you. The Duggars are an inspiration to me. I think they are such a fine example of how to live a Christian life even if one has a small family. In my opinion the Resentment that others have toward them comes from a root of not understanding and fear. I read each family members bio and each person shares their favorite song and scripture. Thought this was neat.<br /><br />God bless you and happy days a head,<br />dDeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019741103496608961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-4718541349003732512011-11-16T07:25:47.347-08:002011-11-16T07:25:47.347-08:00Well it looks like you had a good time at the baza...Well it looks like you had a good time at the bazaar!

I love the photo at the top of your post with the Christmas trees. That's what I wish the inside of my house would look like during the holidays - I know it would get all messy pretty quickly but how fun would a whole Christmas winter scene be in the living room!?A.

I always went by the adage - variety of height and light. I still do displays for some of the speaking programs I do - displays of props and settings that illustrate my topic. Somehow they just come together - and are never the same twice. Little changes here or there and always finding something new that acts as a great vehicle for display. Thinking outside the box - like your crib sides. <br /><br />My daughter and I have great memories of a wonderful home school day spent at Plimoth Plantation. Still have the hand spinner purchased that day - and I've used it to demonstrate in my shows. I have coordinated many school programs featuring the Christian history of the event - taken from primary source documents. So inspiring the legacy of our forefathers - and so worthy of in-depth study today.<br />Joy!<br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-91555866803942421612011-11-15T16:09:36.661-08:002011-11-15T16:09:36.661-08:00I never really thought about it before, but I gues...I never really thought about it before, but I guess there is a lot to consider when setting up such a booth.

WHat about some twinkle lights - everyone LOVES twinkle lights if you have the electrical outlets available. I like what you did with your crib for displaying. Something else I thought of was one of those nice large drying racks - you could display alot of woven items on one of those, too!

We also purchased a popup tent and participated in bazaars and shows. We had so much fun and I do miss it. Most vendors were nice and friendly but we met a couple of sour grapes along the way that we avoided. We found they were usually shop owners and with the economy as it was we figured they weren't sleeping nights. Luckily our stuff sold really well. The pilgrims in my header are one of our makes. We never could make those fast enough! :D<br />Your products are wonderful. You're right about the space-there is rarely enough. We usually packed some string lights too, just to help along. I can see why you enjoy doing this. I really miss it.<br />DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612935931627314524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-72063866349376830392011-11-15T04:38:56.942-08:002011-11-15T04:38:56.942-08:00I love to visit these kinds of bazaars..you can ki...I love to visit these kinds of bazaars..you can kind things that you wouldn't find at a shop.

The lodge is beautiful; how sweet that this is where your daughter was married.
