    What helps me in these anxiety filled situations is repeating to myself that I deserve to be there just as anyone else does. I’m not lesser than anyone else that’s there.

    Thank you soo much for the behind-the-scenes of markets! I also crochet and starting an Etsy shop as well as selling at markets are some of my plans for the summer so it is great knowing the effort put into them beforehand. It is such a useful video for bc there are only a handful of people actually posting this stuff. I hope your business continues to thrive :)

    For windy days, double sided tape is a friend (with cloth ones). It will help with the bubbling on top. If you have some strong hair claws, clamp the table cloth to each leg of your table. It's a bit wonky looking, but it works.

    • @madewithapril

      Omg the hair claws idea is so smart I'll definitely have to try that, thank you!!

    I sort of had an idea for the display buckets to stop the flowers from looking so stem-y… I’m not sure if it would work perfectly, but you could put some small-ish jars or vases that are low enough to be hidden inside and use them to keep the flowers from flopping over! If the glass doesn’t fit- cardboard tubes cut to the right size would do it too I think! Anyway, love the rock scavenging. I do that all the time for my planters but it’s my own backyard 😁

    (Okay, but where did you get those chicken lights, I need them in my life? 😂)
    This is why I'm probably never going to sell anything in a market. My anxiety would be through the roof. Also, in my area, crochet is kinda saturated? Everyone sells the same things, I swear. The only unique vendor I've seen sells giant plushies made of blanket yarn, and she's the only one who makes them far as I've seen.
    The other reason is that I don't seem to find any motivation to make multiples of the same thing to sell because I get bored easily 😅 So, I'm amazed and in awe of people like you who are able to have your shops and tables at the fairs. I wouldn't be able to.
    I'll just keep my crochet as an unmarketable hobby no matter how much my mother nags me about it.

    • @madewithapril

    For basket display, you could cut a piece of needle point canvas to sit in the top of the basket, and put the stems in the holes to fill in all the spaces and the flowers can be put in and out without messing it all up. Weight the bottom for extra stability. :)
