Well, I finally took the plunge into the Saturday Market and just loved it. I will probably try to do it a couple more times before the season is over. My display is in progress and changes need to be made. This weekend I was going for an ethnic look, but the background cloth was too busy. Next time, I will tone down the background with a more neutral color. Since newbies only get 4x4's, space is limited. So, I will work on building upward so the table is less busy. I do really like the easy set up of a smaller space, though.
I have always resisted doing outdoor venues because of the unpredictability of the weather here in Oregon. The last show I did in June rained all day...very miserable! One of the reasons that I went ahead and did it is because I want to do a couple of the market's indoor holiday shows. And, since I needed to pay the membership fee anyway, I decided what the heck. Once you pay for the membership, the cost each Saturday is really pretty minimal....yay!

Thanks Carol! I thought the table cloth was too busy...but, I always stress about these things :) I think I'll try a little change here and there. The style reflects me, though, so I'll probably try to keep that look. I found a really great textured neutral fabric in my stash that I'll try next week.
Oh how fun...your area looks lovely...One day perhaps I will be able to take a drive down there and check it out...since I now own a few of your pieces...I could always use some more :)
Have a great day.

Hey Amanda...look me up if you come down this way :) I'm having fun with the market and will be back out there this weekend. Good to see you around. Hope everything is going well for you!
HI,
I really like the theme of your display. How about a few smaller neutral scarves over your busy print?
