David, thank you for the vote of confidence, I'll read all these comments again the week before the show (when my stomach is turning upside down).
Michele, that is what I hoped you would say. I don't intend to do a lot of fairs, I don't think my body can take it yet, so a large investment would be a waste. I'd rather put the money in more supplies, and I need a nice collection of frames. I'll definately get the walls and I want a nice rug also. I'll need a table for my portfolio, literature and a guest book. And everything has to look good too. I'll be a basket case by August.
Jane, thanks again for all the links and the info on Armstrong panels, they look good but may be too pricey for me. I try not to rely on my husband too much for my supplies (although he has invested an awful lot in me). I owe him a Porsche.
Thank you Marcus, I don't have a clue but would be interested in any info on security. Security is provided during the show that I will be in, but I will also have my sons, husband, and numerous large friends.
I spoke with the artist that referred me today (Lee Weiss), and I have a contact from her for some one on one advice. So, I can handle this, I can, I know I can.
Jean
