<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make these next six weeks count! Holiday Craft Fairs and Shows are in full swing! Shoppers are back in spending mode, too! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To learn more and for some daily inspirations, check out my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/happysolez/craft-showsretail-spaces-displays-and-ideas/">Pins</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, all you have to do is provide your customers with high quality products and a creative display. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using natural, vintage, rustic, and up cycled themes will definitely be popular this season. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/208150814000685149/"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOTMYp2svG9ybhQnGBeUmblG0rZ05lBqq5fdUELiYh_a-dPjtKSn41un6t6_Kjnq8CpjkPApshWi2LBIMwbvXYg90FSw0IgriyXRCf7Usqi38WuK9IvgzzH92gn9x-Zdgi0Zme2fkmHjs/s400/craft2.jpg" width="266" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use these baskets to showcase scarves, pillows, quilts, stuffed creatures, and much more! This style of display helps get your products closer to eye-level, and is very easily approached. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/208150814000658354/"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIZpg21zUsy1X045jfIQtB1nmx4SuTg8H3uQQoQ_2BqhSF6RUU1Uf_pr-hCpo9ncBdl4uSROY-a3KKqaqR65vajVT0D_BSjOGcYiZc-HZP71KtDtw3rKn2wLpXJ-84Ypd23v1F4IdWY00/s320/craft3.jpg" width="317" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rather than hanging shorts on rings, hang scarves, tshirts, onesies, purses, or even necklaces! These simple curtain rings add a lot of visual interest to a display, and also help keep items at eye-level. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/208150814000571104/"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvEptKxS8er2Qcw5vMgOZbZ79G7QeRSaSuCJCjvkmP2RGssON7fLoKs_nAbj1GoMCmXqNJ99hBxmDC1yRpWBOuZI89FuVnAAjxuWAWJdUrlNW3tQM1D1eZhj1TTf1rNpLxabVr_mYmHGc/s400/craft4.jpg" width="266" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As always, rustic, wooden crates and boxes are very pretty and durable. Don't overload them, but use them to showcase extra special items and separate items by size or color. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Adding levels to your table is always a good idea, and often times, you can transport merchandise or supplies inside of a wooden box. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What are some of your favorite ways to add interest to your craft fair booth or display? </span></div>

Craft Fair Season is upon us! Our local Carbondale, IL Farmer's Market will have it's second event of the season tomorrow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In honor of this lovely weather and new creations, I created this document below. If you click on it, you should be able to view it in 8.5" x 11" and just print as many as you need!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How To Use: After printing the page(s), punch holes and insert into a 3-ring binder. The prettier the binder, the better, since your customers will also see this binder at times. You may also want to keep some looseleaf notebook paper or similar in the binder to record custom orders and customer/vendor info. Keep lots of business cards at hand too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you sell various items, write a quick description and price on the page provided below. This makes the sale process WAY easier and more organized! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Crafting...</div>

And what better place to showcase such a spirit than the beautifully restored Crown Square?<br /><br />All the fun will happen from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 11 on North 14th Street between St. Louis Avenue and Montgomery Street and will feature 40-50 vendors selling vintage clothing, accessories and home decor, and/or vintage-inspired handmade items.<br /><br />We'll also have some hands-on activities led by local crafty business owners; live music featuring local artists; and, for the children of the '80s, a video game lounge featuring those Mario Bros. we all know so well.<br /><br />Food trucks will also be on hand to serve the masses with local fare, as well as local eateries <a href="http://crowncandykitchen.net/" style="color: #80dfdf; text-decoration: none;">Crown Candy</a> and <a href="http://www.lamanchacoffeehouse.com/" style="color: #80dfdf; text-decoration: none;">La Mancha Coffehouse</a>.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Springfield, IL Art Association (SAA) has a special place in my heart. When I was younger, I used to take various art classes there, and when I was 13, I volunteered as a camp counselor. It was a really fun place to explore art as a kid. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The SAA is located in the oldest home in Springfield, IL and they have a nice art gallery. They also have a couple of really good, fine art fairs which I will blog about soon. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, the SAA is accepting applications for a fine art show, where they display your work from April 26-May18. You ship them, or drop off work at the beginning, and go pick up your unsold items at the end! They take a 30% commission, which I believe is very reasonable, considering they staff the gallery during business hours, and they provide a very nice space.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The requirements of the show are: 2D and 3D - anything related to plants! The Garden Club and the SAA staff jury the event, which I think is really neat. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pinterest is filled with SO many DIY projects, that it will be fun to do some research and expand your product line for 2013. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use these next few months to perfect some new items that will help you sell more at shows. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With this also comes some fierce competition. Other crafters have the same access to these crafty ideas as you do, so just make sure to use your found DIY ideas and make them your own. Let higher quality materials, a cute display, and a cohesive product line set you apart. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have always wanted to visit Boston's SOWA Open Market. This year, they celebrate their 10th year!

Without further adieu, I have this to show you!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://thedesignfiles.net/2012/11/interview-feeona-and-troy-baalham-of-uimi/">Design Files</a> put this video together, and it is just pure bliss :) They curated different items from artists in Australia, and put them together in an open house. Not just any open house, though. They actually cleared an actual home, and put the work in it, on display as if it were a gallery. Very cool!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It sure looks like it took a ton of people to put something like this together, and I really commend them on this great job.</div>

And here is one of the companies they featured, <a href="http://www.uimi.com.au/">Uimi</a>. Such a cute way of displaying things! It looks like they actually just have one of each item on display, on light bright shelving. I love this display idea! It is so inspiring. </div>

WHY ART CITY AUSTIN?<br />
Art City Austin Festival takes place in the heart of downtown Austin and in the 2ND Street Retail<br />
and Shopping District. In the past year alone, over 500 residential units have been added in<br />
downtown – and all are within 3 blocks of the festival site. This unprecedented growth in Austin<br />
has the city ranked as the 2nd fasted growing metro in the nation! Art City Austin: downtown's art<br />
festival takes advantage of this growth by positioning itself in the heart of it all.<br />
We invite you to meet your collectors in Austin!<br />
<br />
In excess of 25,000 art enthusiasts from the region and nation are expected at the 63rd annual<br />
Art City Austin Festival.<br />
<br />
Art City Austin Festival is presented by Art Alliance Austin, a non-profit organization with a<br />
full time professional staff, Board of Directors and more than 800 community volunteers.<br />
Proceeds from the event provide funding for artist and community programs.<br />

Apply to the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff where estimated crowds of 70,000 plus converge<br />
annually on this beautiful resort town on the shores of Lake Michigan. The art fair is in downtown<br />
Lake Bluff Park overlooking Lake Michigan. Our mission is “Bringing People and Art Together.” Our goals include:<br />
Providing high quality art to the Midwest,<br />
Providing a nurturing environment for the artists,<br />
To be considered one of the best fine-art/fine craft fairs in the country and<br />
To provide jurying by judges who are “experts in their fields.”<br />
<br />
The Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff is the largest fund raiser for the Krasl Art Center's general education programs<br />
and exhibitions.<br />
Once a “clothesline art fair” in the early 1960s, Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff has become a nationally recognized<br />
and critically acclaimed event by artists, experts and patrons. The Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff continues to<br />
attract high-quality artists.<br />
<br />
The success of last year’s event garnered the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff an increased ranking from #24 to<br />
#20 on Sunshine Artist’s list of “200 Best” fine art fairs. Among the reasons for this noteworthy ranking,<br />
Sunshine Artist magazine mentioned one painter who “wished that they had brought more art to sell”.<br />
Another artist noted, “I’ve been working fulltime doing art festivals for more than 20 years. I’ve never<br />
been treated so well at any other show... artists are treated like royalty”. Moreover, Greg Lawler’s<br />
Art Fair Source Book gave in 2011 a rating of 8 out of 10 and a 32nd ranking with average sales of<br />
$4,704 to the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff based on sales as reported by artists.<br />
(We do not have 2012 information to date.)<br />
<br />
The Krasl Art Center (KAC) is proud of these rankings and is excited by all of the positive feedback<br />
we continue to receive from the press, our dedicated volunteers, talented artists, and the community.<br />
“The city of St. Joseph, along with the surrounding communities and businesses, should take pride<br />
in their contribution to the ranking of the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff. Our continued success is due<br />
in-part to the enthusiasm, support and hospitality of the community.” Sara Shambarger, Director of the Krasl Art Fair.<br />

<br />
Do you love flea markets? The <a href="http://www.stlsymphony.org/gypsycaravan/#">Gypsy Caravan</a> in St. Louis is just what you need!<br />
<br />
The event is located at the University of Missouri - St. Louis campus and is just massive.<br />
<br />
There are craft vendors, antiques dealers, and flea market booths. Having gone to other flea markets, this one really tops them all. There is little repetition in booths, and the antiques are well-appointed. The prices are right in the middle, and I am not one to haggle, but the vendors might be up for it! Please don't haggle the artists who make the work themselves though.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_T1XXZviaV2nRcZ7Xx-2LegbUcHxVJwxSJ9n_SKzBCaeNKSTQuvrM75QEkzP1FwDSE1ofgccz2n7_D13aPOwI4c4BWU1grqZjYbQ54WW1BEx82IRYBko4DyBeKbssJaT9XkzR6Qqnq7c/s1600/g2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_T1XXZviaV2nRcZ7Xx-2LegbUcHxVJwxSJ9n_SKzBCaeNKSTQuvrM75QEkzP1FwDSE1ofgccz2n7_D13aPOwI4c4BWU1grqZjYbQ54WW1BEx82IRYBko4DyBeKbssJaT9XkzR6Qqnq7c/s320/g2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I would imagine the lines for this event will start very early that morning. We visited this event 2 years ago, and we went in the middle of the day. It was HOT, and there was a definite look of heat-exhaustion on the faces of some of the vendors and attendees. But, to grab some coverage, a lot of the antiques dealers are located in the parking garage on campus, which is pretty large. There was a great breeze while in this area, and it's a great way to escape the heat.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
This year will likely be cooler, but make sure to bring water in a rolling cooler full of ice, some snacks and very very sensible shoes! Be prepared for sun, and this event takes place on a huge concrete lot.<br />
<br />
That all being said, despite the heat, it was a sight to behold. This event is definitely recommended by me, and there are plenty of shady spots and cold refreshments for you.<br />

They have a seemingly unlimited number of furniture pieces you can rent for special occasions. Why couldn't a larger art/craft fair or a trade show be that occasion?<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivUV_c9PxpmNg1hoRb0adeYOPL1ZOHueIUKCorL1IP2JMYdVk5YYk6fgVHOx0XwX1INuUMXxRvuCzINXaTq2K7f4aB1rDZwRgdI0MnZLORECJr3untUXgiTqf8gpYYYo-rSr6mZsb1KHY/s1600/f3.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivUV_c9PxpmNg1hoRb0adeYOPL1ZOHueIUKCorL1IP2JMYdVk5YYk6fgVHOx0XwX1INuUMXxRvuCzINXaTq2K7f4aB1rDZwRgdI0MnZLORECJr3untUXgiTqf8gpYYYo-rSr6mZsb1KHY/s320/f3.jpg" width="214" /></a> <br />
<br />
I asked Allison Howell of <a href="http://vintage-rentals.com/index2.php#/home/">Found Vintage Rentals</a> if she could share some tips on using vintage furniture pieces in booth design, and here is what she said:<br />
<br />
"<br />
<div>
Our clients are always interested in innovative design solutions
whether they are creating an environment for their wedding or decorating
a craft fair booth. We suggest using pieces in unusual ways; turn a
soda crate on its side to create a shadowbox with cubbies for your
wares, open a secretary desk to use as a display with multiple levels,
stack suitcases on your table to make "shelves" and a focal point. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We
often encourage our clients to add multiple pieces of furniture to a
display instead of a single table. A dresser with a stack of trunks and a
side table next to it is a lot more interesting than a plain old 6-foot
table. You'll also get more surface area and multiple levels instead of
just one flat surface. Vintage furniture and decor can add an eclectic
look that celebrates your style and represents your brand with a little
flair.</div>

Stay tuned for more ideas with this theme. <br />
<br />
Here is just a very small sampling of a few ideas from events that used {found} furniture. These events are traditionally weddings, photo shoots, large parties, and corporate events. Where else do you think that this service would be appropriate? Let us know in the comments below...<br />

have seen a number of fabric designers use large-scale sofas, chairs,
shelving, and tables at Quilt Markets, and they usually upholster pieces with their newest fabrics. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These booths are far beyond anything I can usually imagine doing, and they are definitely an aesthetic to aspire to.</div>
