Need Inspiration for Your Craft Fair Booth Setup?

[Leigh0725]

Hello! Okay, so I have my first booth at a craft fair next Saturday and I'm getting really nervous about it. I have NO clue how to go about setting things up for this. I have table space, so I'm not worried about that. I'm such a visual person, that I was curious if those that had pictures of their setup could post them? I know I want to incorporate Homemade for the Holidays since it's a craft fair. Thank you in advance!

I'd love some suggestions/photos too!

I had some posted from my taste of home cooking show. I used a lot of the ideas in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Hopefully I copied the link correctly and you can click on it below.

Curious if anyone else happens to have pictures?

Rhonda - you have some good ideas to draw from.

I dont have any pics but I can tell you what I do. If I am doing cash and carry I separate the table, 1/2 cash and carry 1/2 display.

I bought an inexpensive burgandy tablecloth with some fall leaves scattered on it. My display consists of the three tier stand w/simple additions square bowl and plates. I use the cookie cooling rack and place a piece of stoneware on it (usually pie plate). I always bring an exec. piece and stainless piece of cookware, sometimes even the grill pan. I also bring 2 mugs with the dots one them (and place you business cards in one, holiday mini's in another).

Hope that gives you alittle insight...

Here are the pictures from my County fair booth in August.For a recent display ( no Pics...) I copied a few of the gift ideas from the mini holiday catalog.

I thought cash and carry was not allowed.

I don't have pics but can tell you what I did this past weekend.

I had 2 tables set up in L-shape covered with green tablecloths. In corner I had a 3ft. Christmas tree with white lights. I used the Creative Cutters as ornaments. I used the white towel w/cranberry stripes as tree skirt. I tied curling ribbon around cutter box & used a business card as a tag. I made a pretzel wreath & hung that in front. I also made an opportunity tag & hung that. I bought small snowflake ornaments for the tree. On the same table, I had 1 batter bowl gift mix with bow & tag. I laminated the choices available & set those next to it. I had the appetizer plates (both colors) with caddy & placed both spreaders on top. I had the small bowl caddy with 2 bowls in it. I put the Chipotle Ranch set & small bamboo spoon set in the bowls. I also placed the round up trivet on that table.

On other table I placed the cooling rack with mini-muffin pan & tart shaper on it plus measure all cup. In front of that, cranberry pie plate & 1 dessert plate with 1 cranberry app. plate on it. I placed both on the cranberry towel with white stripes. I put some peppermint/white choc. bark on top of plate & broken candy cane (like in mini holiday catty). I also had the new cookbook & season's best displayed. I also had the 2 cookware lines (saute pans) with bows on the handles. In the middle I had the tool-turn-about full of "tools".

I had mini catalogs, holiday minis, business cards, wedding registry, opp.brochures, new recipe cards dispersed throughout. I also had a drawing box with pens & slips.

I wish I had my camera. I was quite impressed with how it turned out. I plan to set it up again for my open house next week.
