Thank you for allowing us to watch your setup process, step by step. I stuck with you, unlike other people who share tips, when you started by saying that you recommend that we unload our car first and to not succumb to the temptation to put inventory on display areas until all of the areas are ready. That was logical, experience speaking! You did a great job explaining and have a good camera person! I LOVED the fact that your dad had helped you!!! And that you mentioned him, lovingly, several times! What you create is very nice. I will pray that you succeed at every show. I watched another vendor recommend that people invest in heavy duty canopies, with side flaps. She said she saw rain ruin a different person’s inventory, when the thinner type canopy collapsed.

[@toschaferguson5749]

I can’t believe how much I learned from your video. I’m probably going to watch it five more times!

Yessss, I’m obsessed with all your videos. And yes, we need the video about making signs 😅❤

Making pretty signs is my favorite! Video coming soon for sure! :)

Your literally my inspiration right now. I'm just starting out (my first market is next month) and I am so overwhelmed. Your videos are so helpful though!! I feel like I'm in school - taking notes throughout the video 😂😂

This is so exciting!!! What day is your market!? What kind of things do you like to sell? :) This seriously makes me so happy you've found the videos helpful! I feel like there wasn't a lot of good resources when I first started & it makes me so happy I'm able to help others get started! :) Get your notepad ready because lots more videos are coming your way! lol!

Camryn your booth is STUNNING. Thank you for taking the time to teach all of us!! Question. You mentioned restocking, do you want your booth to look like people have been interested and buying from it or just try to keep it as stocked as possible?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Thank you so much Melissa! I'm so glad it was helpful!:) I personally like it feeling pretty full, but I usually don't put more than two of each color in each size out because I don't want to overwhelm my customers!

[@jennifertodd4132]

Love your setup. Everything that I have made are all different colors and styles. I think I will just put them all together by size. I also sell hat and scarf sets.

i just recently started following you and i'm so glad i did! i'm hoping to do a market this year and your videos have been so helpful! and i'm absolutely in love with your set up! do you have the pattern for the green/white sweater that was on your mannequin? i was eyeing it the whole video and would love to make one for myself!

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Hi! I’m so glad you loved the video! I believe that pattern was one I found on KZbin- I’ll need to go double check :) it’s a fun make!!!

[@WillowTheGreatDane]

I have a market on Saturday.. i make macrame wall hangs that are large and usually i hang them up using a canopy outside. This market however is inside and i'm not sure how i'm gonna hang mine up with only the table.. any ideas? Thanks a million your videos are very helpful

[@christinebinkley2508]

Love your setup!! Where did you get the wood crates that has the mannequin head and looks like other hats?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Those I got from Fred Meyers years ago! :)

[@melissastewart5838]

Do you have a video on how to make your velvet beanies?

That’s from Amazon! I should have it linked in the description of video under wooden tiered shelves!:)

HI! Sizing, pricing, and social media signs would be helpful!

[@SparkiMcSparks]

Lovely set up! Love the added touches- they made a big impact!!Great idea with the easy access table! How do you get your fence panels to stand? I'm still perusing your videos so if this was discussed already, my apologies. 😊

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Hey there! The fence is connected by a central hinge, and if you stand it at an angle it is supported under its own structure!

[@SparkiMcSparks]

@@camryns_cute_creations Thank you! Best set up I've seen!

I actually don't remember where I got that one. Probably Amazon! This isn't the exact one but here's a similar one you can hang from a canopy! :) www.amazon.com/SHAREWIN-Mannequin-Hanging-Clothing%EF%BC%8C-PC/dp/B09MVRH1XD/ref=sr_1_22?crid=N7HU2YL8GCUC&keywords=mannequin+torso&qid=1668966791&sprefix=maiquin+to%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-22

[@kristabailey8929]

Hi I love watching your videos. I’m looking for a good crochet pattern for beanies. Any suggestions??

[@camryns_cute_creations]

The pattern I have available on my website has always sold really well for me, and I've heard many people say it's been a huge success for them as well!

[@HandleToWatch]

the booth is so great!!! do your fabric and crochet items sell equally or does one do better than the other? I can see pricing being cheaper for fabrics since they don't take as much time. I might dip into fabric crafts. a pricing video would be great too!

[@camryns_cute_creations]

They sell about the same for me! You could try a little bit of both! :)

[@shaynakeese3223]

Do you have a link for the same or similar item for your peg board? I love that idea and I want to do something similar for my scrunchies!

[@camryns_cute_creations]

I’m going to try to find a few to do reviews on! I’ve seen them on amazon before :)

[@ninuhandmade]

What size of the canopy do you use? Do you need more than one size?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

I use a 10x10 canopy! Here's the affiliate link for the exact one I use!: amzn.to/3AwQGeh I've never been to a market that requires a different size, and most canopies are this size, or within a foot or so. However, if you know you'll have a fairly large display, and you know the market manager is okay with you using a larger canopy, it might be worth it to use either multiple canopies, or a larger canopy!

[@taniakoles6406]

Do you make the scarfs that hang from the pumpkin display?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Yes I gray the edges of flannel to make those :)
