I panicked the last time I did a flea market because I couldn’t find the checklist I made. I was terrified that I was going to forget something important. By writing my checklist as a blog post I will never lose it again AND you can use it to help get organised when you go to sell your own work at flea or fair.
- Garden table and chair
- comfy cushion
- charge up your payment machine
- pack your payment machine
- table cloth. Cover up that table.
- little framed ‘About Me’ info
- business cards
- email sign up sheet
- Cash float
- snacks
- water
- coffee (should be at the top of the list. These are early starts)
- hand sanitizer
- paracetamol and band aids/ plasters
- tissues
- sunglasses, sunscreen or hat and gloves if it’s cold
- pen and pencil case and sketchbook (for sketching or taking notes if it’s dead quiet)
- notebook to keep a record of sales. You will sell something!
- scissors
- masking tape or other tape
- blue tac for windy days
- hammer and nails or picture hooks and picture wire
- String
- decorations. Like feathers, fairy lights and pine cones.
- charged up iphone
- wooden print rack browser
- Greeting cards display rack
- Pricing List
- storage boxes. I use a little blue box for my greeting cards and a picnic basket for unmounted prints
- paper bags
- My artwork! Priced up. Prints mounted and unmounted, greeting cards and lucky dip bags
- my glasses, keys and wallet
Hope that helps you. Let me know if you think I have forgotten something. All the best to you!
