Now that most of the country is experiencing spring. Where are some great venues to get a booth?
Farmers markets have popped up and bridal expos. When I have a garage sale I have 3 large tables with gently used, cash and carry new, and a summer display. I also PC on my neighborhood signs. I offer 10% off new, if they pick it up and have a sign up for shows and emails.
