There are a couple of changes this season.
1. The threshold is being increased for the approval of sellers. Here are the new guidelines.
All of your items must be handmade by you. In addition, the components you use must be handmade by you or significantly altered from their original state. This second requirement applies most often but not exclusively to jewelry sellers. Examples that would qualify would be silver smithing, upcycling, chainmaille, fused or blown glass, resin work, etc.
If you have been an approved seller in the past and are not sure how this new requirement impacts you, please email: Heather.
2. Prices will stay the same as this year. The cancellation fee is being increases to $10. Keeping and maintaining a waiting list and filling cancellations takes a significant amount of time and energy and we would like to discourage cancellations as much as possible. As always, if you arrange for a suitable and approved replacement on your own, there is no fee.
3. If you haven’t sold with us before and have not been approved to sell, you should take care of that now. Tables sell quickly and you can’t book until you are approved.
Thanks.
