It’s impossible to put the feelings I have about

It’s impossible to put the feelings I have about Craftcation and our planning and event team who pulled it all off in words. I remember hearing someone try to explain the depth of their feelings once and they just said, “my cup runneth over.” Same friend, same.

Seeing our team work together to create this magical week for other creative weirdos is the highlight of my year.

If I repeated the words “thank you” over and over until the end of time, it wouldn’t be enough, so I’ll simply say, “my cup runneth over with gratitude and love for you all.”

🥂🥳🏖️🎨 Until next year!

Have you ever SOLD OUT at a craft fair before? How much product do you bring?

You should have 4 to 10x the amount of product you hope or expect to sell. You don’t want your booth to look empty after you sell a handful of things and you want to have enough product to actually meet your sales goals.
