    • Before You Visit a Single Booth Space, Do This First

      Before you visit a single booth space, do this first. There is so much you can find out about a potential location from behind your keyboard, and most vendors never think to look. Here is exactly how I research a space before I ever get in my car.

    • If We're Doing This Much Work, The Event Needs To Pull Its Weight

      A client mentioned worrying that people did not know about an event, and my brain immediately started opening tabs.

    • What It Actually Costs to Carry a Paint Line

    • Your Content Isn't Gone, It's Just Disconnected

      You probably have more content than you realize. Product photos, old videos, blog posts from finished projects. The problem isn't that any of it is bad. It's that it got disconnected from what your business looks like now. That's a different problem, and it's more solvable than starting over.

    • Do Pretty Booths Actually Lead to More Sales?

      I went into a booth seller discussion thinking I already had the answer. A well-staged, intentional booth signals that you care. It helps customers visualize. It does the work. Then I read the responses and had to rethink the whole thing.

    • “I’m Just Looking”: How to Stop Overbuying at Thrift Stores, Estate Sales, and Everywhere Else

      Resellers do not have a finding problem. They have a keeping-up-with-what-they-found problem. There is a difference, and most buying advice misses it entirely...

    • The One Craft Supply That Changed How I Look At Every Container I Own

      Some containers are too good to toss. The problem is making them look like they belong in your home instead of your recycling bin. This is the one supply that completely changed how I approach them.

    • How to Use IOD Transfers on Glass: One of My Best-Selling Booth Projects

      One of my best selling booth projects uses IOD transfers applied directly to glass, most often on decorative mirrors. This beginner friendly technique is fast, repeatable, and works well for booth inventory, gifts, and make and take projects. I walk through what matters most, what to avoid, and why this approach works so consistently.
