I went ahead and applied to that big craft show I was warbling about a couple days ago. I won't know until Ocotber 1st if I am accepted or not. The wait begins...
Even though I don't know how the coin will turn on that decision yet, I am still going forward and ramping up production on a few items and buying supplies to have me prepared for the coming months. I have already received advanced notice from a couple repeat-customers of things they are intending to request from me for the Christmas season. And I will also, of course, be selling at my church's Advent Bazaar.
I need to start thinking about craft show display ideas. I wasn't that pleased with the way my table looked the last time I was a vendor. I went to several craft shows this Summer as a buyer and saw how beautiful some of the displays. I need to work on making my display more inviting.
I also want to look into the Propay thing for accepting credit cards if I am going to be vending more. A local credit union that I belong to also offers a small merchant package so I need to check out rates on that too.
I really hope I will be accepted to that big show. It's exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time.

Hope you get into the big show! I am still waiting on one application as well... so one confirmed, one still waiting. Fingers crossed!
Good luck on getting in to th craft show. Is it during holiday season?
Good luck getting in! That's so cool! There are no big art shows in my area now that July is over. And even then they aren't that big. I'm crossing my fingers for you!
Thank you everyone - this will be a big step for me if I get into this show. It will be in late November, just in time for Christmas shoppers.
