Looks like you did great. Love your breadboards and tissue boxes.

It was a beautiful booth and me and my DIL was excited to see ourselves in your video looking at all your pretty items!...Congrats on the success!

Binge watching your videos all evening!! You are so creative!!

Thanks for sharing, very good information. Great display!

I loved watching your video. I’m a crafter too but both of the holiday craft shows I participate in every year have been cancelled due to Covid. But that hasn’t stopped me from making new things, hopefully next year the shows will be back. Congratulations on a great show.

Just found you on FB a week or so ago and now on RU-vid!! THANK YOU for being so kind and generous sharing your knowledge 🥰

Hi Julie! You sold alot. That is so so great.

Love the phrase “tripping over dollars to save pennies”!! And glad you got to enjoy your Bloody Mary yasss girl 🍹 you worked so hard and you deserve all your success!!

So glad you did well. Thanks for the informatipn. :)

So glad you did so well you have great product wonderful ideas so many one of a kind things great job Julie 😁

Inspiring! Thanks for sharing 😎

I really enjoyed these 2 videos. I picked up some good advice. I had no idea what oyster nativity sets could be. I’m so happy we got to see your items. Thanks much..

Wow!!! Looks like you did great and had fun too. So glad for you 😊

Your energy is contagious....you go girl

Looks like you did very well! Happy for you!

Thank you for sharing, this is going to help me with setting up at craft shows.

My husbands the same way lol he complains about the junk until he sees me sell something for way more than I bought it for. 😆

Glad the show was a success! Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

Your items are amazing!!

Glad you did well, I thought of you this weekend - there's nothing worse than putting all that effort and not getting the sales x

Glad you had a good show. I use to host a craft show in my hometown for several years but gave it up when grandchild came along!!! I loved the vendors there were always a few crabby ones but one thing I always told them was to have a few different items that were less than $5.00!!!! Also your baby is adorable!!!!

"Dude, hold my Bloody Mary. Watch this." I actually snorted out loud! You are just too funny! I remember packing my daughter up in a Jeep Wrangler and driving her from Portland to Los Angeles twice a year for four years and no one could believe what we could get in that Jeep. You are just so much fun! Thanks for all of the ideas and advice on how to do things. I am always happy on the days your videos come out.

Happy for you. ❤😄

You are a wealth of knowledge. Love all your tips!

I am a one man band with my crafting and craft shows. The only input my wife has is when she says the room is a mess or when she just shuts the door. I am no where near being in the league with you but I love it. When I do a craft show I load my truck, and set up my booth alone which consists of two tables and a 4x8 lattice full of small signs. Plus a variety of porch leaner signs and a couple pieces of painted furniture. All fitted into a 10 x 10 booth area. Some of my crafts have been based on things you have made on your channel. I am still searching for what sells best in my area. It seems to be the cupcake booth just down the aisle. LOL

I would have bought a lot of your items. You're so creative. I'm surprised the cypress trees weren't as big a hit as I thought they'd be. I'm way up in Michigan so it's not an option but I love it all!

Happy you did well

Just found your channel I’m binge watching your videos love your style💕

Your video endings are so darn cute! You should have your little Program Managers do something clever at the beginning, as well. Sooo cute! 👍🥰🎄🎅🏼

Your booth looks awesome ♥️♥️

Glad it was successful!❤️

So helpful!

I’m so glad you done well!! Your both looked amazing... You for sure had a lot of product you wasn’t playing. You must have been working around the clock with all the product you had.. 😀

You had a beautiful display for the show and I'm not surprised that you did well...your products are awesome! I'm also impressed that you even had a large show! I'm from Northeast Ohio and we can't have any type of gatherings. I'm going through withdrawals because of no craft shows!! Thank you for sharing all your tips and behind the scenes in preparation for a show. Both of your videos were very informative!

This was so informative thank you so Much Julie ❤️❤️❤️

Greg and I were so happy to meet you and your husband at the show! I am trying to catch one of your lives after we get moved in. We'd love to have one of your pieces in our new Louisiana home!

Awesome

I love you! You're so very creative and you've been so helpful. I've always wanted to earn a small income with my crafts. My son is finally old enough to get started. Thank you for your tips and all your helpful pointers. The crafting inspiration is on point as well! Keep it up momma! You're doing a great job. God bless you and your family 💜

Can’t wait to receive my goodies

You worked hard for that Bloody Mary! Thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks

Love you even more now that I know you like bloody marys. You have a great eye for doing displays. Everything looked terrific.

I think I'm the first to comment! So glad it was a good show for you...you worked so hard!

Thanks for sharing.

Love you toooo pieces. My husband and I watched a couple of your episodes yesterday and omg he loved you. Breadboard when you said you didn’t know what the hell it was but someone needed it. Gosh i love you. Then the elastic bloomers for Wren for her muffin top. Girl we cracked up! Then he saw a seltzer while you in your shop so girl- i think you may be the one. The show he watches with me!!!besides you are gifted talented amazing etc!!!

I have to say you for the cutest kid's ever. Your sweet baby girls beautiful. I happy you did well.

I just recently found your channel. Love the content you provide! I especially love those small wood shaped Christmas trees you made. Do you have a video on how to make them. I’d love to try and make a few. Thanks for sharing!

Love 💕 love love you ❤️ your amazing can't get enough of u videos amazing brilliant lady so rewarding refreshing. Watching you 😃

Everything looks fantastic. Just found you and subscribed

Your items are always beautiful. I think with covid less people are out. Also, budgets and money being strained. I have not been out or spending money. Light at end of tunnel.❤🙏

Great to hear you have the same fun with your husband as I have with mine.🤣

I use to do Shows...so much fun ( and a little stressful...LOL! ) Your Booth looked so great! To bad is wasn’t a 2 day show. But sometimes the 2nd day you don’t get the traffic. People “ assume” stuff is gone! So are you still not shipping any items ( like to New York?) . Not only did the show look great...but you had great music playing! Love the southern rock music! Yup... I’m a child of the early 70’s ....LOL!!!

I'd love to see the nativity sets you make

I'm surprised by the trees Not going AS well as I'd have thought. We'll blame it on the pandemic..lol. No, but seriously, has been an "off" year for many things. I'm so happy that you had a successful show though! Thanks for sharing, Julie!

Thank you for this video and your tips, they are so helpful for my business. I love your display system! Where did your bakers racks did you build them?

Hi there , I happened to be in our Mississippi Walmart today and they had a good bit of the Waverly antiquing wax . I know you use it a good bit for your projects and you can’t find it lately . I will be happy to ship you some .

Girl, that's my kind of craft show. One that sells Bloody Marys. Wish I lived closer, I'd be buying those big cutting boards.

Fantastic!! But when you said “ hold my Bloody Mary!” I bust out laughing! Only in Louisiana! Hahahahah! I LOVE IT SHA! 😍

So, I am probably one of last remaining humans without a Facebook account. With that said, how can I buy one of the Cypress trees??? Listen I dearly love those trees . I am a wood lover !! Those trees are gorgeous and I love love the benches. I am floored you have any left. The booth is really nice and it looks really interesting and inviting. As friendly as you are, you are perfect for these sales. A smile goes a long way to drawing people in. I'm agree 100% that we r headed for shutdown. When you said the Hand writing is on the wall ---I am there with ya.

Wood (get it- would) you do a video on how to do a Facebook sale. That would be helpful for a lot of us. UR so sassy, the family will enjoy mama for a couple of days. 🥳. Elizabeth

Man and packing hmmmm not a good mix.Ha Ha.You are successful in what you do,your passion i can feel jump of the screen when i watch your video.Good for you.Regards from Somerset county UK.!!!!

Oh yeah! I can pack half a house in my car😃👍

Awesome. I love watching you. Can you share where you got your racks and grid setup?

You have to factor in the economy at the time of your shows. I noticed when I used to do shows that in a bad or not so great economy small things sold much more than the larger items and more functional items like napkin holders, paper towel holders seemed to sell faster. I think people can justify buying items that are functional more than decorative when money is tight. I am so glad your show went good and you did well. Great idea to do a facebook sale!

You are lucky you even had shows in your area? No shows here in Virginia since Covid started. Still not open for 2021..

That was uncool to text you a message like that! I’m an anxious person so maybe I’m overreacting. I’m so glad you did so well! My husband is the same! I had a booth at an antique store and he wasn’t interested in helping me at all, then he would see the $ I made off something I bought at a yard sale. “Hold my Bloody Mary”. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I go to the Vintage Market every year. I would have a fit in your booth. Everything is so cute! Are those tall plant stands/candle sticks made with a crib spindle?

How do i get those blocks that you made oyster blocks out of ? Thanks .

I want to know more about your crafts. Did you make those wooden fish with the numbers on them and if so HOW?!?!??! I love those! I'm from Vermont and we have a camp on the lake so those would be great at our camp!

I feel the reason that you and others didn’t do normal selling of items is the COVID. I just love you channel

I literally laughed out loud about the packing the car...my husband can never pack the truck and puts 2 things in and tells me it's full...lol

Julie, Congrats on a good show! Looks like you have a fun time and make sone money. Ok! I'm from The Midwest, But I'm still laughing that you can buy a bloody Mary at a craft show. WHATTTTTT!

My question is how do you get the smell out of the oyster shells? I went to a local oyster bar but I can’t seem to get the smell gone 😥.. I’ve soaked them in bleach as well as dishwashing liquid. I laid them in the sun to try once I had them washed so they could dry but I’m obviously doing something wrong 😢

So glad it went well! Thanks for sharing the clips. Around here so little is being held was fun to see others out and doing. An area church has a Nativity display each year. I am so hoping they figure out how to have it. Many look forward to it..and they have a bake sale.🌞

Hey Julie, how do you keep track of your inventory? Cost/supplies/profit? I have a hard time keeping that all straight.

I love your videos. You make me laugh. Actually my husband does better packing than I do. Lol. IKR? You have great ideas. God bless

I’m new to your channel and was wondering where do you get the distressed boards that you use for your projects?

I can’t believe they actually had the craft fair becuz of covid all of the ones here in Canada that I participate in were all cancelled. Booth looked great.

Do the baker's racks fold up

Do you have a cricut or do you use carbon paper to transfer onto wood? I watched your video on the fall/halloween books. Just wondering about the words on WOOD. Thanks Julie!!

Great show Julie!!! This is way off subject but what mascara do you use?

My crew knows to just drop their stuff at the back of the truck and watch the "Master Packer" work her magic! Guys brains just don't work right..lol Also..I made 2 bread boards and they turned out awesome because of your tips!! Hope they sell quick so I can make more!

I am a vendor aka antique dealer in a mall and we have been doing more business than before the virus. They have been in business for 18 year. I had thebiggest month that I have had in at least 4 years. It is very strange. No school here and still shut down a lot but our store can be open. As long as EVERYONE wears a mask.

Am I able to buy your stuff from the UK (do you ship).

Julie... how much for the oyster nativity? And would you ship it? My 11 yr old grandson loves nativity ❤

Did you sell a lot of the bread boards ? and how did you do with your baskets ?

Do you hand out business cards with your RU-vid channel on it ? I'm just curious..I see your subscriber numbers are really growing...Awesome !
