The stall looks great.  I like the price labels.

Sorry EJ, I missed this yesterday.  The stall looks fab.  It is quite a big stall isn't it.  It looks lovely and neat.  Really well done on doing so well despite the lower footfall.   :buttrf:

I did one today (only part of a table with another group) and even though we were under a gazebo the wind drove the rain in sideways and ruined quite a few labels.

Need to rethink my packaging if I am going to do outside markets .....

 Huh?

My outside one was fine today, it rained, sunned, showered, then dry but dull for the most part. Very few sales though  Sad  Everyone was complaining that they had a rubbish day. For me, the good news is that I sold so little, I can take a night off  Cheesy

Well done EJ! Sounds like you had a good day, even if takings weren't as high as you'd like. Polly, sorry yours wasn't as good as you hoped.  Sad

That new stall was definitley worth it. Your sunflower price tags are very cute as well.
Yes - I reckon the step display and new hessian was a good investment. The sunflower tags are from a florists' suppliers.

Ta. Takings were much better than the first month last season - so I hope that's a good sign.

Love the wooden displays
The shelves were from Janie McDonald when she was selling off stuff afteer slosing her ebbay shop the other year and the wooden boxes with the soaps in are winebottle boxes - storage and display in one!

The stall looks fab.  It is quite a big stall isn't it.
Thanks Helen - the stall is 8foot by 4foot , bit of a problem downsizing the display for a craft fair table!

Need to rethink my packaging if I am going to do outside markets .....

You take large sheets of polythene and some small spring clamps to clip to the uprights on the sides/ends of a market stall and one over the goods on the table (you reach under if a customer wants to see something).

Fingers crossed for tomorrow for you Polly (don't worry about the hijack)

Goodly looking stall Elaine, and I spotted your gorgeous felyt handbags on it. Did you sell them? One part of me hopes you did the other half hoping you didnt. Is tha bad of me?
It sounds like its been a good start to the year.

Polly Im so glad you took something positive from yours. You can havea lil rest AND at least more people are aware of you. You;ve planted a seed.

No I didn't sell any of them today (I think they're more Craft Fair items than Produce Mart) so they're still available - on my Folksy site, I haven't put them on my website yet.
