I had a great time at a Fall craft show in Vancouver, and I'd love to share how it went and how I prepared for it. Note that I'm mainly describing my indoor market experiences. If you have more questions beyond what was covered, feel free to leave a comment and I'll try my best to answer them. I attended my first markets in 2017 and I spent a lot of time acquiring what I needed for my display and trying out many iterations of showcasing my books. At first I placed my journals and sketchbooks between bookends to show off the exposed spines, and then I decided that displaying the covers would look more appealing and less cluttered. That's how I designed the home made tabletop shelves. Designing a display is a fun creative process that I enjoy. Pinterest is a great source for inspiration!
