Hi All!
I've been looking all around numerous RV sites searching for other artists and crafters who are RVers full or parttime to network with. I've come across a few folks who make and sell things and would love to hear from them to network for sharing stories and ideas.
My daughter, Skye and I WILL become (that makes us "Gonnabees not Wannabees, right?) fulltimers later this year. We are crafter/artists who are planning to help finance our travels with our crafts by selling them at Flea Markets and Farmers Markets across mostly the eastern half of the US from Michigan to Florida and west along the Gulf Coast to Texas. We'll venture farther west and north west as we gain more experience, but we have family to visit in FL.
We've chosen Flea and Farmer's markets because they are less expensive to get into and have considerably less lead time. Yes we know sales will not be as high, but everybody's got to start somewhere. Craft Shows and Festivals require applications as much as a year in advance and have very high fees, plus very specific and expensive booth set ups. We cannot afford that at this point in time.
Also if anyone knows of an Artisan Market in their area where artists and crafters exhibit either weekly or monthly please contact me or reply here with the name and any info you have. I am attempting to create a list of artsy markets across the US and Canada so others won't have to do searches and come up empty handed as I have. Even Farmer's or Flea Markets where there are generally a lot of crafters and decent sales since I'd like to include those as well!
Thanks for being here and Thank You in advance to all who help me in this quest. Believe me there is a need, especially in this economy!
Sincerely
Delaney
