FAQ
How far will you travel?
We're based in Kalamazoo and regularly pop up across Michigan. Beyond [25] miles we add a small travel fee — tell us where you are and we'll quote it upfront.
How much space do you need?
One 6-foot table's worth, plus a little browsing room — about 10×10 feet. Outdoors, we just need a flat spot; we bring our own tent and weights.
What happens if it rains?
For outdoor events, we watch the forecast together the week before. If we need to call it, your deposit moves to a new date — you never lose it to weather.
Do you take credit cards?
Yes — cards, cash, and mobile payments, all handled on site.
Can you do book favors for every guest?
Absolutely — that's one of our favorite requests. Tell us your guest count and budget per favor in the inquiry form and we'll propose options.
Do you offer a fundraiser share?
Yes. For schools and nonprofits, we donate 10% of the day's sales back to your cause. Mention it in the inquiry form.
