I know a jeweler that uses lexan rather than plexiglass. Tough stuff. He's had it for 3 years, done over 90 shows no scratches.

Use lexan. It won't scratch as easily as plexiglass and it is lighter then glass.

I love this show. However, I am a bit disappointed that they do not have some older artists this season. Perhaps us older folks know better then to put ourselves through that type of stress willingly. My daughter managed the office at Magical Elves…

My sales were good. We are however not allowed on the grass. And no storage on the grass. We had to park far away and rely on a shuttle system to get us back and forth. Very unreliable shuttle system. They said there was a phone number in our packet…

I'd chime in with some logistical considerations, if you have any, Michelle.  This will make the question easier to answer, and easier for you to sort through the replies. *When are you coming?  When are you leaving?  * Florida…

Art Westport and Hidden Glenn two Kansas City Shows

Posted on September 21, 2010 at 4:33pm 9 Comments

I just finished The Hidden Glenn Art show and the week before Art Westport in Kansas City. Westport started out rough because we left our sides to the tent at home so my husband had to return home to get them. I stated to set up my jewelry cases and then the rain came and was blowing into the tent so instead of setting up I was stacking every thing in the middle to keep things as dry as possible.
