Setting Up At Ladies Night Out

Each fall some friends of mine sponsor a "Ladies Night Out" on the square in our town. They do an awesome job.

This year 77 small home-based businesses (tupperware, candles, jewelry, etc) set up inside brick & mortar businesses, on the square sidewalk, and on the courthouse lawn.  It is free to be a vendor, and helps bring people to the square to explore businesses that are permanently there.

I set up on the courthouse lawn. It was the first year that the courthouse lawn was open to vendors, so I didn't know quite what to expect.  The response was overwhelming. We had a huge turnout.  It was so much fun to watch herds of women walking around and visiting.

I had a $1 table, and it was very popular!  I did sell some "better" stuff, 

but the majority of the $200 +that I made was from the $1 table.

I know that isn't a fortune, but from the time we left our house, to the time we got home was only 4 hours.   Plus, as I said -- it was a free event.  Not bad. I left the van packed, and did a flea market on Saturday that was sponsored by my vintage mall.
