Craft show set up

Yesterday I set up my stand at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair at the exhibition centres at Darling Harbour. I was really pleased with how it looks.

Dad and I did it together, though I made him sit for most of it, as he hasn’t been well over the last few days. It was great having an extra pair of hands though!

My first challenge was driving into the city, because if you’ve been reading this blog for the last few months, you might remember I only got my drivers licence just before Christmas. But with the car loaded with stuff, and Dad completely sure that I was capable of doing driving into the city centre, it had to be done! (And I managed fine. Dad wasn’t sure that we were heading the right way after we came off the Sydney Harbour Bridge, but we ended up exactly where I had planned, and hoped!)

When we arrived, there was no signage on my stand, and no spotlight yet – there had better be one when I arrive this morning! The Vetty Creations fascia sign arrived while we were setting up.

I knew the stand was mine though, as it was the tiny little one. My first thought was “oh, its very small…”! But I filled it up nicely, and am really happy with how it looks. Because I have my very own stand this year, everything you see is mine, so it gives a great visual representation of what Vetty Creations is all about. I hope that people find the display inspiring!

The show starts this morning at 9am, running daily until and including Sunday. Each day the hours are 9am to 5pm. My stand is in Aisle L, a little bit further on from the entrance to the quilt show. We’re on the right-hand side if you are approaching from the show entrance, or the left-hand side if you’re approaching from the cafeteria area.

Please come and say hello – I love meeting my customers!

    This looks very inviting. Love those things hanging from the beams.
    Do you have a show special? You know,” Show Special, Two Days Only, Not Yet Available Online” and then you package together some reels of thread that has been slow to sell in the past. Those cater for the impulse buyer.
    I hope you get lots of interested passers-by and quite a few new customers.

    Hi Louise, No, I don’t have a show special. I think my books are special enough. 😉

    Thank you for sharing the photo of your booth space. I like all the examples of your work in the images. Nice display of the books too. The black backdrop allows focus on what is important, your work! Nice that you have your father to help out and lend moral support, a good memory you both are creating this week.
