We went to New Iberia, LA, for an art and craft show that is all handmade. We have done it before and loved it. However it had been about a year since we did it because of the demise of our tent in early 2016.
New Iberia is a quaint little town in so

Does anyone have good tips for closing a sale? I like talking to people, I greet them when they stop by my booth and I am friendly and helpful and knowlegable. I have a great product, I think (custom coloring books and hand-poured crayons) and my pr

I've heard great things about shows in the Midwest, and after a three-show tour in June, I can say that at least some of those statements are true.
I live on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, so the Midwest is a drive for me, but I thought that if I got

I will be at Shadows on the Teche in New Iberia, LA. It is a one day event at a plantation home in New Iberia. Plantation shows have been good to us. Everything at this show is handcrafted. Last fall was a good show for us.
