I have officially gotten my feet wet in the craft fair world. It was kismet that I was asked to be in the SF Design Week Pop Up Shop because I had just started fostering the idea of participating in some kind of fair this year. And then, Boom, I was asked and I thought it is meant to be!

For a newbie I would say the night was a success in learning how to set up my table, talk to customers, work my Square app, and smile, A Lot. Thankfully my best friend Julie was there to help out and that made me feel a little less nervous. Will was a big help and photographed the show for me as well. He also got us some delicious fried green beans and mashed potato balls from the Voodoo Van outside. While I didn't make a lot of sales, I do hope that people enjoyed my table enough to visit my online shop in the future. Exposure can never hurt, right?
Another fair is in order so I am scouting the next opportunity. I'm thinking maybe Treasure Island Flea, or maybe even the big and scary Renegade in December. Scary thought, but exciting too.
