    I use a clear shower curtain for the rain. I clip them on the canopy with curtain hooks. Not sure how that would work with an umbrella. I’m pretty sure it’ll work the same. This way- people can still see your stuff from the outside or even step in to shop or for shelter. 🥰. The last market it rained and I got some sales from it. It’s a win win.

      Love that idea! 🤩 I actually bought a 9 foot umbrella to plan for any rain events (as long as the organizers did not have size restrictions for our umbrellas) & it actually worked well for me and kept my plushies dry (along with the guests) ☺️

    If I live somewhere where it rained a lot, I feel like I would have a laminated catalog of everything I have for sale 😂 a clear plastic tarp is also a good idea!

      I love that idea! I might take that with me to my next market. Apparently, there's rain in the forecast again. That's the frustrating thing though! I don't live in a place where it rains a lot. 😓 This is probably the most rain I've seen in Southern California in years! 🥲 We definitely need it, but most of the markets I attend only allow their vendors to use umbrellas rather than tents.

      Bahahaha I just imagined a blank table with a laminated portfolio and everything stashed in containers still hahahaha

    Omfg “friendor!” Hehehe I love that. I love the umbrella thing with the lights!! I would have stuck it out since already there as long as another vendor was there too lol

    • @crochetbyara

      Yes! Friendors are awesome! They really help to pass the time if it's super slow. I usually stick it out because I'm already there and sometimes get last minute sales. I also haven't figured out a nice way to highlight my table without putting the lights on the umbrella so I always set up with it.

    Glad you stuck it out. What light did you use ? It was very bright

    • @crochetbyara
      @crochetbyara  3 місяці тому

      I'm glad I did too! The light I used was a pack of 2 LED rechargeable work lights with clamps by Easymaxx on Amazon. It's bright because it's 2100 Lumens 😅

      Haha I definitely subconsciously fill the space with sound while I’m thinking of what to say next. I think we’ll get better at it with time! 🤭

    You might want to look into a clear plastic tarp. Joann fabric has clear plastic and you can buy just the size you need.

    • @crochetbyara

      Thank you for the suggestion! I'll definitely look into for any future markets where I can anticipate rain.

      I'd be a bit too nervous about doing an outdoor market so I might have been scared off.
      I am glad that it worked out for you!

      @@SoniaB I've only ever attended 2 indoor markets and didn't do as well as I have at outdoor markets. I haven't researched well enough to do more indoor events though, but I really should give it another go!
