Its hard to take just one picture of my booth and see every thing. So, here's a view of each of the 3 different tables in April 2004. And, yes, thats my husband, Dean, sitting inside the booth. This is the first side.

third side

This picture was taken October 2004. The Beads By Becky booth moved earlier this year. Only just a few feet south from where I was before. You would be surprised how many customers couldnt find me even though I was just a few feet away.

Anyway, I love my new spot. I'm the first booth you will see when you come out of the west door of the River Market.

Same day, same booth, just from a different side.

Jennifer Tjapkes, another farmer's market jewelry vendor and I shared a booth at the craft show for the grand-opening of the Clinton Library early November 2004. This picure was taken on the last day. It was so very cold and rainy and yucky. As you can see our booth was in standing water. It was deeper behind the booth.

Customers shopping at the Clinton Libray Art Show.

The Clinton Library Show was the first time that Jennifer and I had shared a booth together. We continued to keep our business separate, just shared a booth for the 9 months. It was cool, we were right in the center of the Tower Pavillion and hard to miss. This picture was taken early March 2005

One year later, March 2006. Back to having a booth by myself again.

The next 4 pictures are what my booth looks like this year (2007) depending on wether I have I a vendor placed next to me or not.

When the Arkla Tower Pavillion is not so crowded or if i do not have another vendor placed next to me i am able to spread out into what is now 2 spaces.

This was my trial run to make sure that I would be able to size down.

It is smaller, that's for sure. But I was able to get everything out. Even though the area behind the booth is quite a bit smaller, it was surprisingly easy to work. The biggest problem i foresee is that there absolutely will not be any room for a second person (my husband) to work with me.

This was something different for me. I set up inside the market hall during River Fest 2008. My booth was located in what used to be Scapetto's and is now the new home of Mason's Deli. How do you like my new cases? Cool, huh?

This is my 3rd year to attend the Gem and Mineral Show at the Jacksonville Community Center. My booth is located all the way to back far corner of the room just to the left of the stage and next to the exit door. This small area took my booth set up skills to a new level. I got everything on 2 six foot tables, the other is show below.

2008 Gem and Mineral Show at Jacksonville Community Center is always the 1st Saturday and Sunday of October. I will be here again in 2009.

I tried something new this Christmas season. I attempted and accomplished more days and hours in a row than i have ever attempted before. 32 out of 33 days straight. I was set up from 7am to 6pm Monday thru Saturday and from 9am to 4pm on Sundays from the day after Thanksgiving thru December 30th.
