It looks like March is going to be our busy month this winter/spring season. Just three shows, but that's the first three weekends of the month. I daresay by the time we get to the third and last one, we won't know which end is up.
This is a hobby, and we do it for the fun of it.

OK, OK, I'll stop with the whining. Saturday, March 5th: Dunedin's Spring Antique Fair and Classic Car Show. We had a great show the last time out, and the location is very good - the main street of the town is closed down for the day, and it intersects with the Pinellas Trail so there is a lot of foot traffic. They messed around with this show a while ago, moving it to another venue, then moved it back where everyone - shop owners, the shopping public, and vendors - were happiest. Fingers crossed!
Sunday, March 13th: Antique Alley, Belleair Bluffs. A well attended (by vendors and public) show that we'd tried for YEARS to get on to the regular sign-up list for, we think we finally did it as this is the second time in a row we've been able to get in. Yes, being able to get into shows can be an issue - if the promoter isn't familiar with you as a vendor and the type of merchandise you offer, it can be a challenge to get in and then become a regular attendee. Again, this has a lovely setting, with a maze of vendors spaces set up amongst a small shopping center. Um, slight grrr as there isn't a suitable link for the event.
Saturday, March 19th: Antiques in the Park, Gulfport. This event, which varies its location between South Pasadena and Gulfport depending on availability, finds itself back in its hometown of Gulfport. Love this show!
As for how well prepared I am for these upcoming shows? I think I can.
