i am only two state away from Bayou. so shipping for me is reasonable and to be honest if the shipping cost a little more than average. i would still order from them b/c the service is unbeatable.

Good Luck and have fun

KommonScents. I just noticed you're in Cary, I am in Holly Springs. Just wanted to say HI!

Laser 2600n. I get great picture perfect labels.

Thanks for the tip Traci. didn;t realize a portable AC unit exists. off to do a search.

I know we have a tips for craft fairs link which is very helpful and has helped me tremendously. My main concern is having information in one area that gives tips for outdoor summer shows. I have searched several boards and have come up with this. If you have more please contribute. Purchase small magnetic battery operated fans to affix to the top of your tent. Put a piece of carpet of some sort on the concrete to help reduce the heat from rising from the ground. Put a tarp on your tent’s roof to help the sun reflect off of your tent (I hope this makes sense) Rotate products away from the sun If selling shea butter, keep in a cooler with ice packs that are covered with a towel to prevent labels from getting wet. Keep an empty labeled bottle/jar out for display for products that are kept in the cooler Dress coolly, but professionally. Have plenty of water in an cooler of ice Bring face cloths to wipe sweaty skin

i have a 100 i can sell you if interested. i have seen them at Scent Works, Madina Onine

good luck to you

get ready for the addiction

forgot to mention, FNWL is a good one too

for one stop shopping i would say MMS and WSP. but for me, i am not able to get everything from the two, but they are good places to start

you have tentative as the date, is this likely to change?

i will have to catch the next one, i will be at Spring Daze on the 26th

that is wonderful

so is this a go?

like the others said, it depends on the designer as well as how much is involved. the ones i had designed for me were $25 each. however, as time went own and i added more products, i got really crafty using publisher.

this is what i use and it appears the price has gone up since i brought mine. i don't recall paying this much for it http://www.forcraftssake.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20&products_id=122&zenid=187ea641f73e1e4af0be4c808c382f88 an alternative would be to display them per flavor in the small galvanized buckets.

try boxbliss.com not sure if she does plastic or not, but you can certainly ask to see if she will do a custom order for you/

thank u, thank u, thank u. cutting and labeling my lip balms was the only thing i didn't like about making them. i think you've solved my problem

i have done this too when i had a soap itch and no distilled water. but to answer the posters ?, i buy my distilled water

not sure if they have the shapes you want, but try http://www.oakcourtcreations.com/

like meredith said, you're the only one who can really answer this question. if it were me, i would have to say that i would have more than enough time to have stock ready if i got started right away.

i sell everything that is on my site at shows (soaps, gels, facial care, moisturizers, foot care, etc.)

i use handcraftmarket and am very please.
