    The usual arrangement for display is either straight across near the
    front, or in a Z. The Z gives you much more display space. You can
    choose based on how much stuff you have-- displays should not be
    crowded (avoid the "showing everything I ever made" look), and you
    should reserve some pieces to fill in what you sell. 

    If there is any way to do it, raise your tables to counter height
    (slide pieces of PVC pipe onto the legs, for example). It is hard on
    the back to lean over tables, and people may not be willing to do
    it. It also looks less professional. 

    The rule of thumb is not to sit down at shows. If you do, it should
    be in a high chair so it is less of an "imposition" to make you
    stand up. Bruce Baker says "Stay busy-- doing nothing", meaning
    clean glass, straighten things, so you are easy to interrupt but
    don't seem to be waiting for people too eagerly. 

    And keep an eye on anyone who keeps too much of an eye on you--
    especially if you don't have glass cases. 

Good luck!
Noel
