With the run up to the Spring holidays not far away many artists will be taking a table at an art & craft stall.
If this is something you do regularly, and it can include spring fairs and summer fetes etc, it's always handy to have a checklist of items to take.
I have a basic list and firstly cross off items I know I won't need at the specific forthcoming event. Then when it's time to start packing it's a good idea to cross off things from the list as you put them ready to pack, just like you would a holiday list.
Here is my Art fair checklist. You are welcome to copy it and save in a word document, adding or removing things that apply or don't apply to you.
