As the founder of Litotes, I love selling candles at markets throughout Chicago and beyond. Over time, I’ve developed a toolkit that enables me to stay organized and efficient while delivering an elevated shopping experience for luxury-loving customers. Here are my top market-day essentials (affiliate links included!)

🆙 Folding Table Leg Extenders (Leg Risers) – Bring luxury goods up to eye-level and in easy reach: https://amzn.to/4kwtLp5
🎪 A Strong, Secure Canopy Tent – A foldable "brick-and-mortar" that keeps the rain out and dry shoppers happy: https://amzn.to/3FoPCzJ

💳 Portable Card Reader – Cashless is key. I never hit a market without my Shopify reader to keep checkout seamless:https://amzn.to/4jp8jBe
💨 Rechargeable Neck Fan – Summer in Chicago gets real. A USB-powered fan keeps me cool behind the table without needing an outlet: https://amzn.to/
