Getting Ready For the "Big Dance"!

I am back!! After rest and re cooperation from a very long winter, I'm diving back in!

Right now, I am in the midst of getting ready for, what I hope will be, one of my biggest shows of this year. Next weekend I have a booth at the American Club in Kohler Wisconsin! These pictures of my stash of oil cloth lunch bags is just the start of my preparation. I love the retro patterns on the fabric. And so sturdy!! I buy these reasonably priced fabrics through http://www.denverfabrics.com/.
Great selection. Now I have about 20 more to zip together. They are so cheerful, it's hard not to get a kick out of them while they are being peiced together. My girls and I have come up with a number of fabric variations - there isn't one I don't like!

After the Spring Marketplace in Kohler, I'm setting my sites on the annual Strawberry Festival in Cedarburg, Wisconsin... around the 20th or so.

Which leads me to my on-going list of "Need to Have" for a craft show:

• products
• product tags
• sharpies
• ribbon
• duct tape
• scotch tape
• scissors
• table/s
• table coverings
• arbor (I use for my display)
• Whimsy Wendy sign
• snacks/ water bottles
• sales permit number
• receipts
• credit card forms
• calculator
• product photo album
• rolling card to put all of this in!
• bags for purchases (3 sizes)
• business cards
• thank you cards
• custom order forms

A work in progress... I'm sure I'll add more to it tomorrow! Feel free to add your reminders...
