It’s Shameless Commerce Tuesday, and I’m here to report that in a moment of temporary insanity, I signed up to be one of over 200 vendors at the 57th Annual Brownville Fall Flea Market, September 28-29, 2013.
I had promised myself NOT to do any more outdoor craft shows
after a miserable rainy summer show a year ago.
But I do like Historic Brownville. It's a quaint little historic river town.
And this event has been held annually since 1957! It draws a large crowd. And the registration fee was only $45.00, which seemed very reasonable.

HOWEVER, my hubby (Happy 70th Birthday, Jerry!) does not think it is a good idea at all.
I've promised him that if there is rain in the forecast, or if I can't get enough inventory made in time, I will cancel my registration and chalk it up to a $45 "learning experience."

SO—I’ll need to shift into overdrive to get enough inventory
for the 2-day event (8 am – 5pm Saturday and Sunday)!!! Well, actually, it will be three days. I received an email advising me to set up on Friday night. Two nights of sleeping in my car. Hmmm.
I’m focusing on Fall and Halloween items – and,
of course, oven mitts, bibs, key fobs and zip pouches. And I’ll stock up on sunscreen (and bring an
umbrella) -- and a pillow and blanket.
It will be an adventure, I’m sure!

It certainly sounds like a great fair to participate in. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the fairy houses and your trip to New Hampshire. I hope you show us your granddaughter's quilt when it's finished!
Thanks, Annette! I'll definitely share Madeline's quilt when it is done.
DeleteYeah...I hate outdoor shows, but they're really all I have access to. I hope yours goes far better than you fear!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Natasha! If the weather is good, I think I'll be fine. I hope.
DeleteUSD45,- does sound reasonable for a great show such as this one. Keeping my fingers crossed for dry weather and
ReplyDeletegood luck with producing enough items!
And happy belated birthday to your hubby :)
Thank you, Duni!
DeleteI was considering a two day show in October show, just before Halloween. I hemmed hawed about it until my hubby steered me away from it. I think it was a good decision. Hope your's turns out OK.
