The 2008
Crafty Wonderland
Super Colossal Holiday Sale!
Sorry, but we are no longer taking applications for the 2008 Holiday Sale.
Feel free to apply to one of our monthly shows next year.
How to apply to the monthly shows:
All of our 2008 shows are now full. Applications for the February 2009 show
are due by January 15th.
To apply to be a vendor, please email
us the following:
+ Your name
+ Business name
+ Phone number
+ Description of your work including price range
+ Type of display items used (garment rack, table, etc.)
+ Web address *or* 2-3 photos that are a good representation of the work you
will be selling at the event.
If you plan to share a booth, all participating vendors must submit one application
together. You will be notified of your acceptance by the end of the
day on January 22nd. Payment must be received by January 30th to
secure your space. We accept checks and PayPal. Your notification letter will
provide instructions on how to get your payment to us. Please be sure you
are available to participate on the dates you are applying for - last minute
cancellations make us cry!
To apply for following shows:
Please submit your application by the 15th of
the month prior to the show you would like to participate in. Notifications
will be sent by the 22nd. Payment is due by the last day of that month to
secure your space.
Returning Vendors:
Please email us by the 15th of the month prior to the month of the sale to reserve your space. Your reservation will be subject to space available. If we have an overwhelming number of applications, we may alternate the months that people participate in the show.
Booths:
The fee is $35. Booth spaces are approximately 4'x4' and will be pre-assigned
so no need to show up at the crack of dawn to stake out your space!
Our layout is tight so please be sure your display fits within the 4'x4' space
- this includes yourself and your chair. We do have several larger,
odd-sized booths so if you have special space requirements, let us know and
we can work something out.
You will need to bring your own display items:
Including tables. We have a few small tables (about 2' square) and chairs available
on a first come, first served basis, so let us know if you would like to
reserve them. If you have a preference as to your booth's
location, please let us know. However, booth assignments are left to our
discretion and will be based on a number of factors, including traffic
flow and dissemination of like items.
Lighting:
As the downstairs of the Doug Fir Lounge is usually a concert venue, the lighting is, shall we say, ambient. We will do our best to provide some extra lighting, but encourage you to bring battery operated light sources. Some outlets are available, so if you'll need electricity, please let us know so we can assign you an appropriate booth space. You will need to bring your own extension cord.
Set up:
Set up begins at 9:30. Please check in with one of the organizers when you arrive to receive your booth assignment. Be sure you're all set up and ready to sell at 11:00!
Transactions:
Each vendor is responsible for receiving payment for his or her own transactions, so please be sure to bring plenty of change!
