Craft show preparation thoughts

As a sole proprietor I have to be jack of all trades (master of none). I have two office employees and one courier and still in rush days I pack some orders myself. I answer countless emails, I order new products, I make sales contracts (how I hate that!), and finally, I am trying to figure out how to set up the booth for the very first big craft show we're attending. It is going to be next week and I still have very few ideas about everything. What to sell? How to display? It is such a headache!

Every single corner of my apartment looks like this. Finally we've started to look for some kind of office to move all this stuff from our home. It is even worst headache, because affordable rooms look so ugly, and because we can't decide which area of the city to prefer. We're thinking about renting a room in some modern business center with all those fancy glass walls, pass control and everything. I want to waste my life in some nice place.

Well, I opened my blog to complain about awful customer service of some wholesalers, but I'd better do that next time.
