Saturday, November 22nd is another amazing show at Flair on the Farm. I will have a booth there again this year and I'm so excited! It's my favorite show of the year!
I was thrilled to be able to participate in Flair on the Farm Spring Fling show in April as well. Their shows always have great attendance and an amazing selection of vendors. The Spring Fling show was no exception and I'm sure the Holiday Boutique will be even better!

The setting is rustic and charming! Set on an actual working farm, there are vendors inside a antique barn and also outside on a manicured lawn area.
The spring show boasted over 60 vendors, a wine and mimosa bar, a food truck and tea stand. The holiday show is expected to be another great one, with the addition of a gift wrap booth, dessert vendors and more.
My craft show display ideas and tips...
Each show is a challenge for me to find new and better ways to display my items. I'm constantly adding and changing elements and no two booths are ever the same.
This past show, I had a lot more tea towels and had to be creative in finding ways to display them. I finally settled on this clothesline approach. I liked the way it separated my booth from my neighbor's booth without feeling like a wall.
For some of my smaller items, I used assorted tins and dishes to corral the individual pieces. Paper gift tags were used for my pricing. I've found if your items aren't priced you end up repeating yourself so many times during the show, it's better to label everything from the very beginning!
These wooden apple crates were a new item I added to my displays for this show. They were an inexpensive and easy way to add some height to my display. I found them at a local craft store on sale and spent less than $20 for two. Eventually, I'd like to paint or stain them a nice color, but in the meantime they still look nice in the natural wood color. Bonus--I used them to haul in other display pieces from my car!
Another thing I like to have at my shows is a little bowl of candy and a big stack of business cards. The candy lures them in and the cards are a great way to get follow-up business. This little mug was from my grandmother's set of dishes and it was just right for holding some hard candies. The card holder was purchased off of Etsy from a shop called Creative Works.
Gorgeous farm buildings against a bright blue sky. |
This show is one of my favorites and always has a unique selection of vendors. Plus you can't beat the gorgeous setting. It's a bit of a drive out to the country, but it's well worth it! Hope to see you out there on Saturday, November 22nd!
