It’s only a few weeks away Gem Expo 2020 in Toronto! Every show that I’ve attended has been exciting and an adventure in its own way. Music festivals, Scottish festivals, markets, fairs, Renaissance, and the list goes on. The one problem is having the right stock for the event.  There are so many things to consider when vendors prepare for a show and it is usually just overwhelming to think about. What is the theme?

What is my table design?  Also, it really doesn’t help that the sky is the limit when you actually make all of your stock. Anything can potentially be created and the ideas are endless. Ugh!!
