    Good morning folks. I am looking for affordable studio insurance and
    was hoping ya'll could share your experience with insurance and
    recommend some carriers. My studio is outside my home and has an
    alarm system. My landlord is now requiring that I have it. The torch
    and pickle scare everyone it seems. I don't have a problem with this,
    (safety is always at the top of my list), but I just need to get a
    good policy at the best rate possible. The only quote I have gotten
    so far is for $675.00 for a year. Which seems kind of high. Would
    you agree? 

    I also plan to start exhibiting at craft shows and doing trunk
    shows. Do I need liability or other insurance for my booth too?
    Someone suggested I carry a rider on my home policy if I have a
    Holiday sale or Home Show in my home. 

    On another but related note: Does anyone have any tips on the
    purchase of a good safe or other security tips. I want to keep the
    costs down and make everything as simple as possible. Perhaps I
    should just hide all the goodies in the rafters like an old timer
    hiding his whiskey in the floorboards of a barn. LOL. I have read
    with interest everyone's posts on security at shows while traveling.
    Thanks for sharing. 

    Thanks to everyone. You're the best.
