That’s some good looking stuff! It looks like most are similarly finished. What are they finished with?

Lots of some fine looking items.

Finish is usually oil polyurethane. 
Nice collection! Aside from passing onto relatives, it's about the only way to make room for more works as you've pointed out.
Did you put anything more outside of the booth?

Good luck with your sales!

Nice collection of fine pieces! I'm also curious how well it goes. Especially how the larger pieces do.
Thanks for good comment s

Looks like a booth I would spend time inspecting all the items!  Hope you sell them all. 
Craft show was a bit of a wrong venue for my furniture. I think folks were looking more small “craft “ items.  I may have to try an actual  “art “ fair. The one fair in my city focuses more the art side.  I did get lots of compliments which was good. Mostly sold wood spoons. 
Nice looking display.  I think the Fall is better for craft shows. People seem to be more in the buying mode.
I had one they turned into a rummage sale so I bowed out of that one!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe a lot of spoons, but people see the tables and remember 👍
Smalls are where the impulse buys come into play.
One suggestion I have is to replace the tarp on the ground and cover or replace with some carpet(s). Makes it look more "homey".
i was wondering about the tarps. was the ground wet and mussy ?

The tarp was used because the show was held on a grass field. I didn’t want the table legs to absorb moisture from the ground.  Carpet would have been a bunch more money  for an already costly show: entry, truck rental and tent rental. Live and learn. 
yeah right i didn't think about wood furniture on grass. not good !

Congrats on the first show. That one is always the hardest. The thing I have found most over the years is that if you have a number of price levels business can be good. Looks like you have a number of options so that is always good as well. Never understood the person that showed up selling one thing and one thing only.

Thanks for all the kind comments!  Next time I will try to enter an art fair in a wealthy city😊
That doesn’t hurt, I’m sure!
