It's quite normal to feel scared, but you'll wind down quite quickly on the day.

Make sure you lay out your table at home the day before the craft fair, this helps a great deal when you are anxious to put everything out in time, etc.

There is a little checklist which I'll write some of it (can't remember all!)
apart from table cloth, your stock, have some business cards, petty cash / change (although I assume you are more likely to take orders at a wedding fair), lighting if you think you'll need it, food and drink in case there is none available and you don't want to run around anyway, ....

If you are going to take orders, have a form ready listing the info you require.

Good luck!

Hi there
Fellow essex person, my show is in Brentwood.
I have had a look at your wonderful site, i have a child that unfortunately has some health problems, luckily his handicaps don't stop him getting on with a normal life. Fantastic site love it!

Brentwood is quite a way from me.

Awww thanks for taking a look at Post Pals. I dont' run the site or anything, just visit, but its GREAT. I do write to the kids, and part of my crafting is making cards for them.

Hi there
Just to let you all know the show went well, and made a few sales. I was very nervous, but will be ready for the next one, now that i know what I'm doing!
