Upgrading my Craft Booth
Last year in 2018 I did two smaller craft shows to get myself back into the maker habit. Funds were tight so my inventory was small and my booth decor was done on a shoestring budget. But it made me smile to see everything put together like this: For that look last year, I purchased […]
