What are the best things about art fairs

Getting to meet the customers and demonstrating what I do. And selling stuff!


Best show ever and why

Farmers Fair, because it's my local show that I've done for 6 years. I continue to sell more each year. When I was setting up my booth 2 years ago, the people at the booth next to me had bought from me in years past and were super excited to be next to me! I felt like a celebrity!


Worst show ever and why

It cost me $100 to get in and i sold absolutely nothing!


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

I did a google search on being waitlisted for craft shows and found an article about it on your site.


What is one fun fact about yourself?

I have never been artistic until I turned 40. Now I teach classes and am planning to do all this full time in a few years. We plan to get a little farm, my husband will build furniture, raise bees and make maple syrup. It'll be great!
