About 15 years ago, I started dreaming of being a vendor at craft shows. I could not stop thinking of this, so I decided to step out and do my first craft show, which was the Stokes Stomp in Stokes County. While there, a lady stopped by my booth and told me about Etsy. She suggested that I open an online shop, which I did a few months later. I remember the first time I sold something online. I was so excited that someone wanted to buy something that I had made.
My husband has always been there for me in this endeavor and has been my tent setter-upper, my muscle, and the person that listens and makes suggestions. I could not have done this without him.
Fast forward to current day. I have six craft shows starting in September. Attached is a copy of my craft show schedule. I hope to see you at one of these shows.
