 |  First show of the season and a few pics of my booth I did my first show of the year last Saturday and am happy to report it went really well! This is one of the shows that I do every year (this was my third year at it) and my sales were up 28% over last year even though attendance at the show appeared to be down. As far as what sold, mini-clocks simply flew off the shelves. I also sold portraits, plaques and ornaments. It was a terrific way to start off the year. I've attached some pics of my booth as well to give you an idea as to what it looked like. Booth-1 and 2 give you an idea of the overall look of the 10 X 8 space, booth-3 is a little closer view of the portrait side of the booth and booth-4 is a closeup of my collapsible shelving units for clocks and such. I found out that I need more of the lattice type displays as I've run out of space and I was fortunate in that at this fair I could use both sides of it but most times that isn't an option.

| Congratulations on your 1st show of the year! I like your lattice display looks like it would be fairly easy to set up and sturdy!  on future shows.

| Fred, Cash sales were a little over 5 times the booth fee ($80) and with custom orders added in I did about 10 times booth with is excellent for me, expecially for a spring show.

| Kevin. You have shared so much of your talent( free patterns and advice) that it is really great to see you did well. I liked the way you did the lattice work may try it this year. Irish |
