Wooden peg option...

[Roberta Moreton]

I do like the black metal. I think the wooden ones are too big.

So, I posted side by side pictures of one with the wood pegs and one with the metal hooks and said "Personal preference, which do you prefer, Wood pegs or Metal hooks?"  My fellow scroll saw friends leaned towards the pegs but all of my friends/customers said they prefer the metal hooks.  LOL  We'll see how many people choose the wood pegs when given the option starting this Saturday at my first craft event of the year.

Good luck on your first show, glad that the venue is on.

I wish you the best in customers and sales..

Just curious since there is some topics in the business forum section..  What kind of safety precautions / measures if any are you required or voluntarily taking for both you and the shoppers? There has been some discussions about the shows recently when things start to open back up.. This would of coarse be different from one area to the next but some folks are trying to plan and ready themselves of when they can start doing events again.. I'm assuming you are just doing the outside event of your weekly farmers market..

Hey Kevin, this is why I skipped the first week of the market, I wanted to see how it went.  The organizers mandated gloves, but masks were optional, which quite honestly was pretty interesting as gloves don't do a thing unless you change them every time you touch something.  However, when I went out there as a shopper the first day, none of the vendors were wearing gloves... very few wore masks.  I have come up with how I plan on doing things in the new environment.  I will ask that folks not touch any of the puzzles, I'll stand them up, etc if they'd like.  I'll stand near the back of my tent at first with my mask down so that I can speak to them, give my "pitch", then I'll slide it on if/when I need to approach any closer.  As to payments, I can hold the credit card reader, they can slide their card in.  No cross-touching of anything, no signature required.  If paying cash, i will have 2 small boxes, one for them to place their money in and if they need change, I'll have another box with 5's and 10's that they can get their change from (with me supervising of course).  I'll have sanitizer and wipes for anyone to use as I hand them their purchase.  When I get home I will strip down in the garage and drop my clothes in the washing machine and step right into the shower to avoid bringing any cooties home to the wife. Or screw it, I'll just go with this option...

I like the look of the wooden pegs, they give a more "Crafty" (as in hand made) feel to the item.
However, I feel, the metal hooks are more secure for hanging leashes etc. I use square hooks for my key racks.
Actually, what the hell, they both look nice.
