Dear Jean,

    I've been doing outdoor shows for a few years and I can tell you
    that every time I improve the appearance of my booth/display, my
    sales increase. And you don't have to spend a lot of money to have an
    attractive presentation. You can do a lot with fabric that is
    beautiful and inexpensive. I use plastic containers turned upside
    down to create height, then drape fabric over that. I covered
    inexpensive necklace displays and made fabric covered pads to give a
    coordinated look. The good part is at the end of the day, this all
    packs away easily and compactly. 

    Chairs: ours are too low so I tend to stand all day which is tiring
    but good for greeting customers. Next purchase will be high folding
    chairs. 

    Table Arrangement: We have two 6 foot tables and a 4 foot one which
    we use for writing orders, etc. We have tried every arrangement of
    the 6 foot tables you can think of and I can't say any one if
    superior. Lately we have used an "L" - one table faces front and the
    second faces the side that is open. There is often another vendor's
    tent on the other side. Every show is different so we adjust
    accordingly. 

Good luck.
Beverly from California
