There is probably a faster/better way to make the board, but I haven't thought of it yet.

I said it was Friday to Friday. Also, the trinkets that are expensive I like to have put away because of not enough room to display them (cough, cough). :)<br /><br />Jo, I LOVE your display board idea! I had many trinkets "walk away" this week. I will keep that idea in mind for my Spring book fair.

I tend to not put everything out either. There isn't room for everything for one thing. And some things are just better left in their boxes for someone else's Book Fair. Thanks for sharing your ideas! =)Jo, aka, The Book Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470098447262556298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626478366598140547.post-6241576695373146232012-11-08T08:05:15.990-05:002012-11-08T08:05:15.990-05:00Looks good!

I always add an extra day to the beginning of my dates that I know we won't be open except for a possible preview, because they only promise that it'll be delivered "1-3 days before the fair." I had too many years where it came Friday at the end of the day and I was running around like crazy getting it ready for Monday! So now I say my dates are Friday to Friday, guaranteeing it'll be there by Thursday afternoon at the latest. I used to feel a little guilty about it but I think my sales go up (and therefore they earn more money off me!) Our sales were down this year too. (I'm also horrible, I don't even unpack half of the "stuff!" If it costs as much as a book, I don't put it out. I'll sell the 50 and 99 cent things, but I forget to unpack the things that cost $3.99.)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15993822132216013886noreply@blogger.com
