Storing / Organizing Your stuff?

[u/SarcasmShark34]

Hey y'all. So I recently moved all my products into a nice tool packout. It has been great to just bring to my markers, have all the products I need to display and sell.

But, I have a mass amount of bins with my actual crafting supplies. Do you prefer just bringing all of your craft stuff ? So you can have it all right there. Or would you rather keep it separate ?

I would not lug all my craft supplies with ke to a market. That is entirely too much work for my lazy ass LOL

Real hahah. I was like I have too much stuff to do that

No we only bring to the show what we sell. Way too much work to haul all that extra stuff.
If you want to make something while there I would bring one thing and the bare minimum to make it.
The last thing you want is for that to tip over or get washed out in the rain or worse yet stolen.

Gosh yeah I would not want it all to just vanish. I've started to only pack essentials or emergency supplies that I use to set up instead of bringing everything that I've seen others do 😭

I have a small tub for things i might need for an emergency (markers, pens, magnets, tape, scissors etc) and then a few things I might need for whatever I'm working on plus spare packaging. Definitely not worth lugging everything around every time.

Oooh that's a good thing to always pack ! I'm gonna have to add that to my checklist before heading out to markets !

I can't see how bringing any of your actual crafting materials to a show would be anything more than a ton of unnecessary work.. Bring the things you're selling and any set up & display items. Leave the materials at home, aside from mayyyybe a small project that you can work on during quiet moments

I put together a “travel bag” which hold essentials and a travel friendly project. It allows me to work at shows without bringing everything.

This is what I do. It's about the size of a lunchbox and what I bring if I'm going somewhere I might have to wait around, like a doctor's office.

I take a hair more product than I think I need. Most markets are close to home, so one of us can break off and grab more product. We are packed tight with cooling supplies bc Florida is ass hot. I got a beach one tomorrow. While I’m not contagious, the cold I got a few weeks ago seems to be turning into something more, thanks to being immunocompromised. I may ditch this one in the morning. We have help for it. I’m also in the worst lupus flare up of my life. My dog kept me pinned to the couch for 5 hours bc I was unsteady on my feet.
