I've Done Three Fairs Now, Need Set Up Opinions and Advice!

Okay so I wanted some advice from some more seasoned people. I've included (hopefully) in order my booths from my first (my only indoor) to my newest (an outdoor Summerween event.) I've changed a little as I've gone, and my latest was the first one my mother-in-law wasn't also sharing my booth with me. Last was my worst so far, I made a single sale and didn't even make my booth fee back, so I'm trying to work out what I can improve on. What would stop you from coming in and shopping my booth? How would you rearrange things? I have another outdoor market coming up next Sunday and I want to improve before then, our current idea is to move the tables up and in a bit to create a shallow walk in with space behind, and maybe move the tapestry grid wall to where you can see our chairs were. I'm thinking of possibly utilizing the frame of the canopy as well to hang some merchandise depending on where we're located and what the space around us looks like. Other than that, please please I need some sage advice!

Crashing Shouldn't Lead to a Matchmaking Lock

Call me crazy but if my game crashes to the point I can send in a whole ass error report, I shouldn't get a matchmaking lock BHVR. That's just fucking insane and ridiculous. If your own game can flag it was something that deserves an error report that shouldn't be a ding.

Years of Work, Down The Drain

I've been out of therapy for almost three years now. Was in recovery, doing great, hadn't really had any bad episodes. This year I started struggling a bit more than usual but was rolling with it, doing what I needed to do from my tool kit and managing as best I could. Has it been easy? No. But I've gotten through it way better than I would have years ago and that meant a lot.

Well.

Last week I had a friend, I'd say even a best friend, drop in my lap that they no longer wanted to continue being friends. We'd had some issues in the past over a video game where apparently I'd come across as condescending, and we'd discussed them at the time and I though had come to a conclusion and resolution. Apparently for almost two. years. That hadn't been the truth. For two years, as far as I can tell, they'd held onto those feelings and they compounded. Never said a word to me about it. Hilariously in our initial talk one of the things I'd mentioned was how I could think of nothing worse than losing them as a friend. They agreed at the time. I don't know what changed.

I've done a lot of internal work to combat the feelings that I'm the scary BPD stereotype everyone talks about. That I'm manipulative, a liar, that I condescend and don't care about others outside of how I can use them. I did so much work with concrete examples of "No, you aren't that, because xyz."

All of that reinforced in one go. Ten years is a long time to know someone. So if I get called that by someone I knew for that long, how is it not true? How is it not true when others from the group also go? Also say I condescend, that I'm "difficult to manage?" How am I not supposed to sit here and believe I'm a monster? That I'm everything I'm terrified of being?

I don't even know what the point of this is. I just need it out. I need it down somewhere that isn't in my head. I feel like I'm a raw nerve being constantly plucked over and over. I keep wildly swinging between splitting and abject depression. I'm somehow hypersexual and touch averse all at once. If I wasn't actively donating plasma on a regular basis I'd consider drinking to catch a break but I just can't.

I don't know. Maybe someone can sympathize out there.

Thoughts on this as a set up?

I'm trying to logistic out a set up for my stuff, especially since I'm about to start selling without my booth partner (a very welcome change as I'll have more room for my stuff, but that's a long story for another time) and need to start figuring out my set up. Previously I've been relegated to one six foot table, my wire easel, and a garment rack. I'm selling crochet garments and home goods.

As it stands, my wire easel I like to put out front where it's easily seen as it drives the most traffic and has my best selling item on it, which are crocheted potted plants. The six foot table behind it right now holds all my table items, like my blankets, beanies, coasters and bandanas but I'll be able to give those more room to breathe with being able to use two tables instead of the one.

Where I want to put a four-way fixture right now is a garment rack that holds my tapestries, bags and shawls. The tapestries would be moving to the grid wall so people can actually see them, and the bags and shawls would be staying on the four way. I'm thinking the front L (South and West arms) being the bags and the back (North and East) being my shawls.

Each square in the grid is 1 foot and it is a 10x10 grid. I need some seasoned eyes to look at it and give me some suggestions. I'm extremely flexible at the moment! I think the only thing I want for sure is a table that faces outward that I can put my sign on for indoor markets as for outdoor I hang it off our canopy frame.

Thanks in advance for the help! I'm very new to this, just started this year, and I'm trying to get it down. I'd show pictures of my current booth but it would have my booth partner's stuff so wouldn't exactly help a lot since I'm not needing to concern myself with her items.
