Carlisle Antique Fest was a smash! So happy I got the opportunity to be a vendor at the first go around and can’t wait until next year. The event was so well organized and everyone involved was very friendly and helpful. And everyone was having fun!
It wasn’t just an antique show. It was like a community meetup. Met so many amazing customers and fellow vendors and shared a lot of laughs. I learned a lot about what to do and what not to do at these shows from my fellow vendors and also my own trial and error. I learned some interesting factoids from my knowledgeable customers. It was so rewarding seeing folks find a piece in my collection that made them smile.
I am exhausted and now I have the not so fun job of unpacking and getting organized again. (My apartment looks scary.)
Next stop (hopefully) will be the fall 717 Vintage Fest, fingers crossed. Maybe someday I’ll be a vendor at Brimfield or the Manhattan Vintage show. 🤩
