Are you vending at an outdoor market this summer? Here is a short, to the point list of my pop-up essentials for both day and night outdoor craft events!

  • Disclaimer: This are just my essentials and what I have found to work for me. I recommend you follow the required guidelines of the market that you will be vending at for their rules, vendor policy, and recommendations for a specific venue.


  • Important read: Everyone is different and what is essential for one person may not be for another! If something is working for you, don't change it based on this - keep doing what you've been doing and keep up the good work! :)


If you found this helpful and think it would help out a fellow vendor friend, don't forget to share this with them! 💖
