A lot of these vendors will have the same or similar display at different types of events.

The soap vendors tent. It is particularly well set out.

I am not sure how farmers markets work in other parts of the country. My experience is exclusive to Pittsburgh where there is very little difference between a farmers market, organized flea market, night market, or vendor show. Here are a few of the booths from the downtown market this morning 1/

The lucky sign spirits both. There is a red table cloth with lucky sign written on it. The table has several bottles in a display

The Fudgie Wudgie tent. A colorful display with a variety of fudge.

A produce stand with several wooden boxes bursting with produce

The pickle stand. Various plastic containers of pickles

I am curious what he would have to say about Granny Weatherwax's definition of sin

"There's no grays, only white that's got grubby. I'm surprised you don't know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That's what sin is."
"It's a lot more complicated than that--"
"No. It ain't. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth. People as things, that's where it starts."
"Oh, I'm sure there are worse crimes--"
"But they starts with thinking about people as things..."
--from Carpe Jugulum, by Terry Pratchett

My advice for selling your TTRPGS, have a wierd friend who sells strange stuff at vendor shows and farmers markets sell your stuff for you. Wierd Little Earings is killing it in sales for me. www.instagram.com/weirdlittlee...

Advertise your Bluesky account with a Simpsons image.

Two images. Top image - two identical red tins with a not on top. The note reads "Zach one of these tins contains chocolate covered Oreos and pretzels. You may have some. The other contains horrors beyond your comprehension. Chose Wiseley"

Image 2 - the tins are now open. one contains chocolate covered pretzels and Oreos, the other a screen grab from the Simpsons of an old woman, the image has printed at the bottom "Behold the ravages of age"

Me pitching my game, Children With Wand, to some people at the farmers market: ...really my key demographic is nerdy queer women. The funniest trans woman at the farmers market: Wow, Me to!

“All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"

MY POINT EXACTLY.”
― Terry Pratchett, Hogfather
