Cranberryfest Booth Display - What goes into setting up a booth - Vignettes & Handcrafted Items

In today's video I'm going to bring you along with me as I set up for Cranberryfest. This is my largest show of the year and I've worked day and night to create a ton of inventory! It was such a successful show and now I have to divide the remaining inventory and get it into my booths and then start focusing on creating a bunch of holiday decor so I can do my holiday booth flips at the end of the month!! I hope you enjoy today's video and I can't wait to hear what you all think!
Thank you for following along!!

$50 is worth the extra 4 hours! You are so blessed to have your parents helping.

[@Rachelsrelicsrufflesandrust]

Wow your set up is beautiful. I really enjoyed seeing just how much work goes into a show. You’re a beast!!! ❤

[@victorianladyone4362]

Absolutely incredible body of work; you could spend hours looking at all the products you are selling. Just a beautiful display of color and creativity. Hope you were very successful; you deserve it.

[@ruthandruby]

The amount of inventory you had is so impressive!! You go girl! 💪

[@tonjaroman9703]

Your selection, colors and set up are as good as any retail store...So proud of you!

[@lauraatoakstreetexchange]

It's amazing how much better you feel after a good dinner and a solid nights sleep! The Booth looks great!!

[@janetellinger9605]

So Much Work!! Want to bring u a giant coffee-Lovely!!

[@ginacrusco234]

Sonnet, I'm very impressed by your hard work producing all those items, displaying them to bring out their best and attract buyers, and staying upbeat throughout an exhausting weekend. You deserve all the success!

[@julielamb9983]

That is a lot of work!! So glad you sold so much of your pretty things!

[@marthajones7265]

All of your hard work shows in your booth space. It is gorgeous and also shopper friendly. Sonnet Super Woman!!!

[@tarynkriebel319]

Love those big brush trees

[@maggiepadilla6915]

You are my hero! What tenacity you have to do all that work for set up. I dont think I could ever do that even when I was young. I have a different perception and appreciation for those who bring their crafts for us to enjoy and buy.❤️

[@debrajackson1397]

I think if I was walking by,the colors alone would've drawn me in your booth! 😍

[@kajlove1]

I just went back to watch your prep video finishing up and I’m exhausted just listening you talk about doing 52 quilts and 100 wooden trees 🥵 I know it’s a labor of love!

[@Sandy-oe5mh]

Wow! I have done a lot of big shows but never had the amount of merchandise you had prepped for this show. I'm exhausted just looking at it all. Your set up was amazing!

[@redtrain210]

I am totally amazed...how you can do all that is beyond me. I struggle to just keep up with my little space in a shop. Lordy girl...you got some energy

[@lorimedwetz3684]

Gorgeous beautiful booth ...... I wouldn’t have any money left after walking thru your booth. Great job and I loved the video. Thanks

[@cindyjackson4617]

So wonderful! You all worked so hard and I really hope your sales were through the roof!

[@benniececiliamattox7426]

I'm so proud for you! You must be a most organized person! Everything in your space works so well together with colors, textures, and styling! Will you give us a breakdown on how many of your wood items sold? I am so glad Cranberry Fest was successful again this year!

[@elizabeth2654]

Thanks for filming for us on your super busy market days! I LOVE your displays❣️❣️; all so beautiful ❣️❣️. You deserve some R&R👍❤️❤️

[@jeanludtke2913]

Looks amazing.

[@zullo3529]

I know you have been busy with projects for months but when you see it all together whoa it’s a lot of items. Your booth looked wonderful both days. I could have shopped just your booth all day. Congratulations Sonnet

[@joannsnyder6667]

Unbelievable how much work and effort you put into the show… your items are all gorgeous, you are so talented…I hope it was a fantastic success!!!!

[@grandaygain]

I only have a 10x10 tent space and I am a one man show. It is great that you have the support of family and ya'll did a super awesome job setting everything up so beautifully. God bless.

[@jerilynmartin6459]

Couldn't wait to see your set up. Very colorful and inviting.

[@valeriesmall8252]

I am in awe of your production capabilities…..I hope your show is wonderful

[@dreamachristie-ramirez2443]

That was incredible, Sonnet! The displays were beautiful. I wish I lived closer! Congratulations!

[@joesiesjazzyjunk]

Congratulations on a successful Cranberry Fest! Everything was so beautiful!❤️

[@sherilynpeters6459]

You did a fabulous job of staging all of your projects. Looks like a fun event.

[@ruthdasch7636]

You are an inspiration. I’m trying to get ready for a yard sale and I’m overwhelmed.

[@DScott585]

OH. MY. WORD!!! GIIIIIRL... I was EXHAUSTED just watching you set up! I've done shows before (when I was younger), but NOTHING of this magnitude! I KNOW how much work is put into making the products, planning, pricing, set-up, customer interaction, teardown, and then having to take care of everything once you get back home. You looked so tired on day 2, but I know you run on adrenaline until it's over. You did a FABULOUS job... just sorry I don't live anywhere near where you are. It sounds like it was a wonderful success, so congratulations on a job well done!

[@theworkshop9225]

Doing a craft show is so much effort and your space looks amazing. Well done!

[@dmm29rn]

Just unbelievable TALENT!!! Amazing! This is the second year I’ve seen this and it just keeps getting better! All the different products and creations you had!! Just WOW. Hoping you had great success and can’t wait for the show next year! Prays and blessing!

[@jackierespass9774]

Your booth looked amazing! So much hard work was very evident in the look you achieved

[@jadestone8552]

Sonnet, your booth is gorgeous!! You have so many wonderful things to sell and show off your wonderful talent. Good luck….hoping you sell out of it all.

[@reeciekincaid1440]

Sonnet, you Rock! Your Mom & Dad too!

[@cassandrasmith5517]

Wow!! I am beyond impressed with your booth! Your pieces are awesome! What a lot of work that goes into this festival! I love it❤❤❤

[@drbbass]

WOW! You did a wonderful impressive job. I am so amazed with all your displays and beautiful items you created! I am sure you will be able to sell everything! Wishing you the best.

[@snuggleb100]

Wow, Wow, Wow!!!! I've never seen a booth like this and it is amazing!!! Sonnet you knocked it out of the park! I loved EVERYTHING LOL! Because of you, I'm buying wood making tools. I'm now saving up $$ for a gig saw, air gun and more (I know how to use them too)! Loving everything. You did an amazing job, and everything looks so beautiful!! Congratulations to your success.

[@ArrowsDIY]

Oh what fun! Right beside the cream puffs! 🥰😍🤗 I sell vicariously through you since I can't have a booth! Thanks so much for sharing and taking us along for the ride! Happy selling! 🥳❤️👍

[@kimtaft619]

Everything was just amazing! I knew there was a lot of work involved but wow! I too would have paid to set up early. Thanks for taking us along!

[@jackieduffy4481]

This is incredible and you have done a fantastic job. You work so hard and all of your things are quality. Wishing you good luck and empty trucks on your way home. Love watching you.

[@beckymarsh583]

[@debrabell2604]

Your had a incredible amount of product. I would have been very overwhelmed.🤪 your booths were so nicely decorated. I'm glad it was a success, you do great work. I would have liked to see your booths at the tend of the sale.

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

Sounds like you had a great show! Congratulations! I'm glad the weather worked out. Made me nervous seeing all your creations outdoors. Time for a rest!

[@memesfarmhousedesigns9254]

I have been waiting all day for your video! 😅 so happy for you!

[@jenniferschouten2062]

Next yr I will be there to see you. Had a wedding this weekend or I would have been there. My dad's campground is in Stone Lake and it is so cute and vintage like. All your products looked great in your video. So happy y'all had a successful weekend and have a great fall season. Can't wait for some more inspiring videos. Thank you again for all your great videos. ~Jenny, Amery, WI.

Sonnet I am a little behind on your videos but so enjoying watching the process I wished I could have given you a great big good luck and told you how beautiful everything looked before your show but I guess it’s never too late so I’m telling you now you did such a great job you can tell you put so much hard work into everything I hope and pray that it was extremely prosperous for you you deserve it God bless

[@MsJet1]

I hope you took photographs of the damaged tents!

[@irenecheng5122]

Your booth looks fantastic!

[@pummillsvintiquities]

Amazing. Absolutely amazing ❤

[@kajlove1]

Your booths are so beautiful and colorful. I wish I had the space and skill. I have a small resell business. You definitely inspired me to do more. I know you had fun because markets are great fun. I did 2 this year, 😅but I hope you made your desired revenue!❤ Oh, you’ve also given me some good ideas!

[@stacyharris9669]

Wow you really planned well for this year show you were saying that you needed to do more last year so I’m glad that you went to town boy o boy there was a lot of inventory!! Everything looks so beautiful super curated beautifully displayed with a great melding of yours and your moms

[@charlotted6247]

I couldn't be happier for you and your family. That is a phenomenal undertaking Sonnet!!! Quite the production when you try to comprehend the insane amount of hard work that goes into this event. Its mind boggling to see 8 hours of loading merchandise, set up tents, unload, set up and work a show 2 days. I'm so glad it was a success and didnt doubt it would be. Your barn quilts are gorgeous and who wouldn't want to see them and buy one. CONGRATULATIONS on a wonderful show.

[@sandrasanders9290]

Glad it went well!

[@theshabbyvintagebelle1875]

Omg that’s just fantastic.. great work.. hope you sell it all♥️

[@SewCraftyGal]

Amazing 👏

[@sheenadavis5422]

I'm so so happy for you!

[@beckylake5241]

Love everything about it! Wonder if next year I should drive from Alabama to CranberryFest!

[@lisafriend5535]

Wow!! What a amazing display of all of your hard work. How do you secure your booth for the night? And what if it rains ? Hope the tent people work with you. Can’t wait to hear how you did in the end. Hope you’re relaxing for a while.

[@shirleyrice1864]

Hi Sonnet, I am so excited to be watching another Cranberry Fest video! I'm sure you are going to make a ton of money for all your hard work. Good luck!! Oh my gosh, your booth looks A-MAZ-ING!!!!! You have NO idea how much I wish I could be there!!

[@marilyntyger5253]

That's one awesome festival. I can't imagine how you guys survived! The booth was amazing. There was so much to see. Sunday's display looked great. Did you happen to film the booth after the festival closed? It would be interesting to see what was left! Congratulations on a job well done!

[@Roycycled]

❤❤❤

[@joanfisher9838]

Looks awesome & the weather looks awesome too. What do you do if it rains?

[@carolynray531]

Awesome! How many days do the Cranberry Feast last?

[@tinawiththelakeexchange2093]

Do all the vendor spaces give you four side entrances? Bummer on the tents. Send them back!

[@carolynknisely2383]

How do you protect your things over night?

[@DelilahAuton-xm6po]

Sonnet how much is that fur coat ?

[@sandianderson1500]

Your booth looked fabulous! I would have never guessed in a million years when you were setting up those tables that you could make that booth look that fantastic! From what you showed us, your booth looked so much more impressive than any of the others. It's no wonder you do so well. The great displaying is the key... that and along with the amazing work you do, Sonnet! You are awesome!!!

[@janupczak1643]

I will nevvvvvvver grumble about prices at festivals again!!! EVVVVER, lol!! I have never seen anyone work so hard in my life. Your inventory was just beautiful and you are so talented! You and your parents are amazing!🤩❤

I think the 20x20 expansion was a HUGE SUCCESS!!! I hope you take a couple days to relax, you deserve it!!! Well done!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lesliesingh6772]

SO MUCH WORK!!! If it’s worth the money, next year rent a professional tent and have THEM set it up!!! Looked gorgeous! Send your broken tents back.

[@Prettynickle]

Wow.....looks so beautiful! I didn't see the bleached shorts tho. Did I miss them? Everything looked sooooo good. Glad you had some great sales.

[@lisawarren7756]

Hi Sonnet... Wish South Carolina wasn't soooo far from Wisconsin... I've done a few craft shows... So much work...so much fun. My son, daughter in law, grand son, granddaughter and dear friend helped load up,set up and take down. The girls stayed & worked and the guys escaped😁but came back to load up. Love your channel!!!

[@denisejacobsma9109]

Absolutely gorgeous! Just perfect! You are doing what I want to do. My Husband is currently taking down 2 old barns. He will connect the 2 for 1 barn for us. We’ve never had a good sized barn or garage of our own. We hope to be able to have it done for the winter.🤞🤞 it won’t be perfect but to us it will be! I paint in my Kitchen or when weather is nice I paint outside. But I LOVE ALL OF YOUR STUFF!! Do you use the saws? Or does someone else cut them and you paint them? It takes me awhile to have the courage but when I dive in and cut stuff, I can do it. But- I get nervous cutting.

[@lindahouse6089]

Wow!! I’m amazed at the work you put into your stock for your booth. Wow! Everything looked so colorful and unique. I love your channel. Keep up the good work, Sonnet. Blessings

[@gwenhatcher7542]

This was amazing! Beautiful booth. Wish I lived close! Love your pictures of the followers visiting and your family❣️

[@shirleybenson4368]

You sew all the pillows? Are they covers over forms? We’ve been to the Cranberry Fest. It was 2007. We lived in Wisconsin for 2 years (husbands job) We love cranberries. This was awesome. from upstate NY.

[@tracy36]

Everything looked awesome! It overwhelms me to think that you created all of that by yourself! You are amazing! ❤️

[@forthehaulofit]

How awesome you got pics of you and the viewers! You're the best! Congrats! Now take a well-deserved break!

[@lisaconnelly7731]

Oh Sonnet, it's just wonderful! You have to be so proud of yourself! Everything is so lovely. You must be exhausted. I hope you made a huge paycheck darlin'❣🤟

[@crystalparker2542]

The sheer amount of stuff,the beautiful colors, and the variety!! It's absolutely gorgeous and I cannot imagine a world in which you weren't successful. Absolutely beautiful job! Just editing to say, all this time, I've watched you work so hard,and I've said many times that it makes me tired just watching you. But now I can see how it's all worth it! This actually looks like a lot of fun and as I said before, so worth it. Again, I am blown away by how great it looks.
