Howdy Crafters,

I, Sloane, am heading up the organization of the 7 Cities Crafters debut at the Spring Craft Market!  March 19-31st at the Virginia Beach Convention Center.

Bear with me here because I may get to ramblin’…but I need to tell you guys what my idea hear is….

I am allotting (a small!) space for each of us to stand and conduct transactions, because everyone will be responsible for there own items for sale.  If you have chosen to share your space with someone else, that will be between you and them…and only one of you should be present at a time. I have these lovely doodles below with ideas I had for layouts…one for 2 10×10 spaces and one that would include 3! I want one person to take charge of a space, you will be responsible for payment in full for said space…if you want to split your table with someone else, you can but that is between you and them….

We can also do a horse shoe with all of our tables, but that seemed like my least favorite…but I am open for suggestions. We have the option of 8 foot high drapes at $15 a 10 foot section…if you think we need them then we will have to allow for that cost as well…tell me what you think.

For 5 of us in a 10×20 space it will be $120 each…..for 7 of us in a 10×30 space it will be $129 each.

I need a photo of your work  to submit with our application (and if your sharing send me theirs too). Denise would also like to see a display photo of some sort from each of us….and I’ll send her a doodle of the layout we decide on.

If a lot of you want to participate and we are having issues Amber has agreed to step in and be the jury…or we can get another 10×10…we’ll see.

Here’s the kicker……in order to get our spots assigned and receive our free promotional material in plenty of time we need to act NOW! So I am setting the deadline at Friday February 5! I will request the booth space by who has paid in full by this date. I will except cash, check, and PayPal (but you need to allow a bit more to cover the fee).  If for some reason you cannot make it and you have already paid, it will be your responsibility to fill your space, no refunds will be given.

Please contact me, sloanie@cox.net, if you have any questions or comments!

Thanks, Sloane
