Yesterday I set up most of my craft show stand in the loungeroom. My stand is quite small (2m x 2m) so it doesn’t take up that much room! It means I can get an idea of how all the stock will fit in, how the arrangement of furniture will work, and make all the design decisions beforehand. Then I will photograph the layout.
When I get to the show to set up, my dad (who has offered to help me – thanks Dad!) and I can just reproduce the photos. It should make things quicker, and for my dad who hasn’t yet figured out how to read my mind, it should make it easier!
I had planned to do other things yesterday, like going to the office supplies shop to get a whole heap of printing done, but you can never know when you’re going to have a sick child home from school with you! Hopefully I can get the chance to have the printing done today.
I think I am on track to have it all done in time, which is quite a relief.
See you at Stand L42 (near the entrance to the quilt display) at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. June 13 – 17, 2012, Wednesday to Sunday. Open 9am – 5pm daily. Sydney Exhibition Centre, Halls 1, 2 & 3, Darling Drive, Darling Harbour, Pyrmont.

Great idea about the photo! When time is short to set up, having a plan could really help. I would love to know more about what you do at the show to make it successful. Good Luck!

I’m sure the rehearsal will make setting up the stand much easier!
