"Gary,
What's the advantage of running an inverter & 120V lights compared to running 12V bulbs?

"Gary,
Why do you say 3000K is the best color of light? I'd think you want to match daylight as closely as possible. I know that the blues & greens in my stones don't show as well in warmer light.

"Hi Debbie,
Thank you. I think the banner is 2 or 2.5 x 6'. Yes, the pendant lights are wrapped around and down the support pipes. I wrap the cords and adjust the lights before I elevate the tent (legs on…"

"Take down your name banner before you reshoot. Also take out the white card on the far left. It has blown out highlights and draws the juror's eyes for the wrong reason. Shooting in the sunlight causes light streaks. It's best to shoot on…"

"Julie
Love your set up. I wanted to ask several questions, if you don't mind. What are the dimensions of your banner/sign. Also, with regard to your lights, hanging from the top of your booth - looks like you have wrapped the…"

"When some company comes out with small printers for iPhones & Android phones, I'm sure Square will add receipt printing to the app. I hope that day is not too far off."

"Well here is a picture of my mixed media booth - I also do stamped tiles and other earthy goods. I have plans to do just a jewelry set-up. I used to put all of mine on tables, and while it was wonderful for folks to touch, the set-up was a…"

"It sucked! I sold 1 cab & 1 chain (for no profit). I took in less than than the booth fee & gas. I thought the gamblers would be in a spending mood, maybe, but not for my jewelry."

"Nowhere near Florida! Try Mesquite Nevada. I'll be at the Virgin River casino Craft Fair. It's a 22 table indoor show. Wish me success!
I cut cabochons, mostly from stones I find in the desert. I wrap them in Sterling Silver & Gold…"

Joining the conversation late and it seems you have already recieved great advice and are on the right track. First, I wanted to share my photo, never hurts to get another perspective. My booth is ever evolving, each…"

"I think your booth is perfect. You know the more you display the less people see. People have this idea that more is better. Not true. When I started selling long ago I thought that. What I did for a few years is keep account of what sold and…"

"Notice that they don't add in the cost for the iphone/android phone or the monthly data plan. I guess they're assuming EVERYONE already has one. I didn't until today.
I just ordered an Android phone (Samsung Fascinate), justifying it…"

Problem with Caravan spring clips. Am alone?
I got a new Caravan Display Shade & set it up in the backyard to take booth pictures. While a slight breeze was blowing, the pins that adjust leg height would pop out & release causing the legs to shorten. I made sure that I pushed the pins in, but it still happened, repeatedly & to all 4 legs. I assumed that I got one with weak springs & called Caravan. They said I was the first to report this. They are sending out new clip/spring mechanisms.Has anyone else had a similar…See More

- Silver Reef Museum/Gift shop, Utah. It was some of the artists who have their art on consignment in the shop & a couple of others who set up tables outside. I probably saw less than 100 people in 2 days, but I sold a little more than $100. I thought that was a good start.
