For the past two weekends I’ve been set up at semi-local craft fairs. For a number of years, I pretty much exclusively did summer shows like these with my friend Amie of enamor<\/a>. We’ll still do shows together when we can, but every now and then, it’s nice to do shows where I can spread out and have the whole tent to myself. Sometimes I miss having someone to talk to all day when it gets slow (or weird…and no, I don’t sell potato sacks thankyouverymuch) but I’m really excited with how my individual set up is taking shape.<\/p>\n

Earlier this spring I had an idea to find a used ladder to incorporate into my setup, but after talking to Ben about what I wanted to look for, he suggested that he just build me one that fit the dimensions I was looking for. Not only does it fit perfectly, he built it so it will lay flat with the shelves inside it for transporting it. I can use all the help I can in that department since I have a very small car that’s not the best for always fitting everything that I need inside.<\/p>\n

Finally, I had picked up this super inexpensive Ikea chalkboard last year (I had figured I’d make one of those too, but found this one for less than $15 and couldn’t pass it up), but I was never happy with how I was making it look. This summer I invested in some chalk pens<\/a> that really made a difference in how I could make it look. I loved how easy they were to use and when I needed to do so, the wiped off without any problem. For instance, when I first wrote out the sign and spelled my name “Hip To Piece Sqares.” No one’s going to notice that or anything.<\/p>\n

And aside for weathering my first show all zipped up inside my tent during a severe thunderstorm warning in the second weekend (all was okay, but good grief, the rain!) I had a fantastic two weekends of craft show fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
