Owning an antique or craft booth is a lot of work, but especially during the holiday season. I have had a booth at Plaza Antiques & Collectibles Mall in Lincoln Park, Michigan since 2015. My first booth was an 8' x 10' and now I have over 1300 square feet in the antique mall. I have learned a lot of tips and tricks for setting up to help make things go as smoothly and as stress-free as possible. In my latest video on my YouTube channel I share with you what I have learned. Â
