First Farmers Market tomorrow..............
I am gonna have a booth set up at the local farmers market tomorrow i will be bringing a little bit of everything. I have tried to keep most pieces in the price range of 10.00-25.00 with only a few items being in the 45.00 range. I am just looking to get my name out and hopefully get some custom orders. Wish me luck! I will post setup pics tomorrow.

I just got back and we did pretty good it started off slow but i ended up selling about 15 pieces and handed out many cards and fliers. I think we did good for our first time here are some pics.

Congratulations! I like how you use 2x4s to display multiple things. That's a good idea. Is that a dolphin fish? Even that is under $45?!

This is my second year of doing farmer's markets. I have found that it is a good way to meet people. I'm getting alot of repeat customer's. These are the customer's that are nice to have. I have made alot connections besides just the metal art.

Re: First Farmers Market tomorrow..............
Thanks, the 2x4's were a last minute deal i just didn't want to lay all my stuff on tables. It made my stuff stand out and really helped. People were amazed at what can be done and i got a lot of wows, the large sunflower was a big hit and sold quickly. I have been holding off on building my new 5x10 table because i wanted to see how the market went since it went well i need to get to building the new table. On the 2x4's i just put a slight angle on the skill saw and sawed it about an inch deep and the stuff fit great and doesn't roll side to side.

Re: First Farmers Market tomorrow..............
Congratulations . . . .
You have some very nicely made items . . .
Just a suggestion for the future . . .
Line the outside edge of your tables with VELCRO (the stiff part) & make some drapes that reach down to about 3 "to 4" from the ground & make some matching covers for all your table surfaces. Attaches quick with the VELCRO.
Now you can hide your back stock, items being held for people still shopping the event & hides your cooler, money box, etc . . .
It adds value to your pieces . . . . looks rich you might say . . .
