I am in the midst of preparing for my first Christmas Handmade Market (November 22-24, Fielding Estate Winery, Beamsville).  I am not exactly sure what to expect with volume of people and setting up space, but I still have a couple of weeks to prepare.  It is a bit of a learning curve on many levels.  This week has been figuring out how to set up the technology to accept credit card payments (more challenging than you would expect).  It is all well and good to make things, but selling them is a whole new endeavour.
