From set up to clean up, I had the best imaginable day at the Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash. My mom was the perfect assistant and we kept each other calm during the hectic moments. I loved setting up a booth for the first time using my
diy chalkboards and fun lighting techniques to show off my knit and crochet pieces. I used this
dixie cup light tutorial for the lights behind me and a few extra strands underneath the mesh baskets for a space saving glow. All in all, I could not have asked for a better first craft show experience.
I know I've said thank you about a million times, but
THANK YOU so much for stopping by my booth on Saturday! I loved getting to meet so many awesome people. If you couldn't make it to the Bash, thank you for sending your sweet words of encouragement via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram...etc. I felt your love from around the world and it truly meant the world to me. ;-)
It's official...now that I have one craft show under my belt, I'm already itching to do another! Maybe I should get through final exams first...
Wow, your booth looks amazing! Big congratulations on your first craft show completed! :D

You have definitely got some display-creating skills. Everything looks balanced and inviting. I only wish I lived close enough to come and check out your booth in person. Who knows, maybe you'll do a craft show in California some time.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Austin and I desperately wanted to go to Dallas for the Jingle Bash but alas I couldn't make it, I hope you do a craft show in Austin soon! Could you maybe be at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar?:)
ReplyDeleteHow cool! Your booth looks so cute and cozy. You totally inspire me to follow my crafty dreams.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you set up your booth, very simple and effective, it looks great! I am never really satisfied with the way my booth looks at fairs, guess I still have to work on that a bit...

ReplyDeleteI had my first stall at a Christmas Market two days ago, and isn't it the greatest feeling to have people come and stop by, have a look and a chatter, and appreciate your work? :)
So fantastic, well done well done. I wish you many more!
