This group (which I've actually only joined a few months ago) had put on smaller shows previously but this was their first big show. Its basically a group of local Etsy sellers who joined forces to be a kinda of support group for each other.
Both days people lined up before the show for free swag bags
People like the free swag.
The venue was the Intiman Theater near the Seattle Center. Neat venue vendors were split on both floors- that sounds kinda weird but it was a nice open space. See-
There was some new to me vendors that I had heard of or met before which is awesome. This company Two Bird Studios (I can't find her link right now...) was my favourite new find.
She had some really cute felt ornaments that were 100% adorable.
I had my regular basic display & spread. When I do new shows (shows that are just starting up) I just go with what I know & what I am comfortable with and add or "delete" anything as the day progressed.
It was pretty fun & with 4 exceptions all of the vendors I had never done a show with or had met before so it was really fresh. I will admit it seemed a bit jewelry heavy- but I don't know if that it is a bad thing because it seemed like everyone was getting a lot of action regardless. I only mention this because of years of participating in craft shows & organizing them as well jewelry vendors seem to be in competition to fill a select amount of spots for that category.
Definitely check out EtsyRAIN's future shows! They run a tight ship :)
