Worktable Wednesday: Show Prep

It may be August, but many of our bloggers are already getting ready for their fall and winter shows.  As an artist, it can take quite a bit of time to build up an inventory and even to get your display items made. 

Edi from Memories for Life Scrapbooks has been working on some new ways to display her products.  She makes a fantastic variety of personalized items.  This extends all the way into her display items.  Check out this creative piece she made to display her engraved bottle stoppers:

Another essential item at any craft show is business cards.  Judy from This Creative Journey just wrote a great post about Moo mini cards.  Not only does she show off some of her own, but she tells about a special deal going on now.  Go check it out!

Sometimes craft show prep means you have to be the one that makes Christmas crafts in August.   Sher reminds us of this in her recent post.  If you need an extra reminder, just walk into any craft store...

My own personal tip for a craft show?  Try not to fall and break your ankle.  Yep, that happened to me at a craft show this weekend.  But life goes on and I'm now working on my own upcoming art show :)

What are you doing for fall shows?  Any tips for someone new to the craft show world?
