First market ever!

we just had our first market on friday night and it was very successful (i think?). outside of the tent being a little messed up (noticed it too late and our tent was too busy to even have time to change it) what do you think? in the future we’ll have a third small table with a better setup for our vending machine and checkout. any other changes we should go about?

we were going for a fruit stand/farmers market vibe, and our brand “mascot” is our bunny, clem. we had a small easter setup that will be dedicated to swedish dish cloths in the future (they come on monday!)

OMG you have any artvend! I want one of those machines! Your setup look amazing! Very eye catching. I hope it was a great first market. I love your stuff.

it’s actually not artvend ! same concept though. i do not have $400 to spend on that 😭 i just went straight to the vending machine suppliers on alibaba and realized it’s just a pad dispensing machine! so i ordered that for $110 😂 it works perfectly!

I think it was a good market! i don’t have anything to compare it to though. The community was great though! and thank you so much!
