So a couple posts ago I mentioned that I would be attending my very first festival. I was very excited, but I definitely learned a couple things...
First and foremost, I learned that indoor and outdoor shows are very different. If I had thought about this fact for even 5 minutes beforehand it could have gone very differently. I have had this picture in my head of what I want my table to look like for a very long time, so I went for that picture even though many aspects of my table didn't cooperate with the outdoor conditions. For instance, it rained. Of course it rained! I had many little freebies that liked to blow away whenever they pleased, and the cheap plastic table cloth was much more of a hindrance than an aesthetic pleasure like I had planned.
I went to the festival with very limited stock, and I wanted people to know that I have the ability to make more than what I had displayed. This was an easy fix, I made a slide show that would run during the festival so that potential customers walking past could see my photography, costume designs, etc. It would have been awesome indoors, but there was no way my little Macbook was going to be seen with a sun in the sky so compete with. Even at it's very brightest setting.
I had a lot of fun! And I met some really cool people, including the really nice ladies selling jewelry next to me who shared their tent and a hoodie for the half hour of rain. So overall it was a great experience, but I know what I would change for next time.

Wish me luck in future shows!
