Getting Ready for the Spring Fair

I have never done an outdoor market before and have my first one coming up on the 18/19th of May – the Lucketts Annual Spring Market.  This is an amazing outdoor market – I mean, really amazing!  http://www.luckettstore.com/events/50-spring-marketThere is so much more to contemplate in order to make it successful than one would think.  I have ordered a banner, price tags, a card reader so I can accept credit cards, but most of all I have been trying to stock up on pieces to bring.  I am only bringing one or two larger pieces and the rest are more end tables, beds, and lighter chests.  This one was just finished in a sweet cottage blue…   This is a little farmhouse table in a brighter, spring blue…I think that typically people are at an outdoor market for a fun day and maybe not looking to buy a large china cabinet, etc.    I have my mother out and about looking for smalls to sell and my husband out there picking up finds – we are all hard at work at The Painted Drawer!  I will have my girls there to help, along with my parents and a good friend!  Let’s see, I need a cash box and change, food/drink, sunscreen (let’s hope it’s sunny!) or rain gear (yikes!). This is quite a learning curve and I hope it all goes well.  Any other tips, anyone?  If you do, please share  – cheers!
