I am doing a Christmas Bizarre in Nov. I haven't had much luck before, but wanted to give it another shot. Since this will be a shopping experience, I figured I need to have some products on hand, but I don't want to spend alot of money I may not recover. I will probably get some SBs, but was wondering if there were any other suggestions on what to have on hand.
 
Mix N Chops, mini-serving spatulas, but I wouldn't go overboard. You don't want to be stuck with a bunch of leftovers.
 
I would suggest pantry items because they have no warranty.
 
My recruiter was kind enough to give me the name and number to sign up for a craft show in the area on October 13th. I'm anxious to do it...Im guessing you don't sell much at these? Its more of a booking opportunity? How do you prepare for these and what do you put out as far as paperwork? Are there flyers for this?

TIA
