are you having a space - cos lots of luck if you are - car boot sales used to frighten the whatsits out of me - we did loads at one point as I needed to clear
some clutter (non crafty) and we'd arrive early (as we needed to) and ohhh goodness it was like being descended on by a herd of buffalo - I had people
wanting to buy my dog's lead, the children's lunch box that I'd packed them a snack in - I even worried at one point someone would grab a child and
ask how much lol - ferocious the early buyers were - but a great way to get money for the contents of the attic - got me through several lean months!
so if you're doing it then hope you get lots of keen buyers

i used to do bootsales the trick is to get there put up your tables and not to put your stuff out walk away see what other have because if you start to unpack
early all the dealers are out and grabing stuff and sometimes the items get nicked so give them a chance to get on to another row when you do unpack make sure
you take out one bag or box at a time and close the boot behind you dont let them use tricks like can i just see that and the item is in the car make sure when
you pack for a bootsale that all items are in boxs or black bags hope this helps

But don't do what many booters do at my local boot sale and leave unpacking your stuff till half way through the sale!!! I go 'booting' most
Sunday's and generally get there at around 8 - 8.30 the gates open at 6, and very often some sellers haven't even started unpacking there boots when
I'm finished looking around at around 10!!!!
I can understand the waiting a while for traders to do there rounds, but waiting 4 hrs or more?? Is there any point in bothering!! LOL Sellers that start to pack up an hour before the end can be frustrating too  and unfortunately there are many of those.
Good luck with the craft boot sale though, oh I wish we had one here I'd have a field day! LOL but then so would the entire crafting population!!!

good luck with your boot sale. I am having one in a few weeks time, just to create more space for children's toys and clothes!
