What are the best things about art fairs

Sharing the fun of gourds


Best show ever and why

First show. I had such fun learning about doing shows, talking with so many people, hearing their stories, demonsrating what I do and teaching people about the varieties of things you can do with gourds.


Worst show ever and why

The second show I ever did. Didn't make booth fee, did not enjoy low quality of crafts at show. While this was purported to be a juried show we were terribly dissappointed upon arrival to see the very low quality of items for sale. Hand sewn items were selling for $4 for example. When one values their time and has an investment in materials and makes lovely items it is upsetting to see others that just don't.


Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.

Found it in a web search for craft shows.


What is one fun fact about yourself?

I enjoy finding fun in others and in the simple things in life.
