I'm not listing my "vices", but in no way would I find the sign offense.

When I take my favorite dish to pot lucks, I always have a sign saying "contains pineapple and pecans" because I know at least one person who is allergic to pineapple and know that several could be allergic to nuts. The last thing I wish to do is cause someone discomfort.

I agree with all those who say to post the sign. Your friend must have never had allergies, or a child with allergies, to understand how truly devastating they can be. Breathing can be very difficult. Just breathing. And until you've been left gasping for breath and not able to control it, the feeling is truly frightening. She is listening to the PC police. Leave her home the day of the craft fair.

I don't think the sign is offensive at all. Good Luck.

When I sold fabric, I included the information that cats lived with us - and that no one smoked in the house.
Even if the cats were discouraged from being in/on the fabric - if I had handled the cats - more than likely, I had a few cat hairs on my clothing and some of them probably transferred to the fabrics.

I don't have any allergies, but I have friends that do so a sign would be of great interest to them and no skin off my back to see one..... In fact, I think there are more of these signs today than not because so many people do take note of this.....

When I take baked goods anywhere, I have a sign that says it's made with wheat flour and nuts plus flax seed or whether it's both gluten and nut free. People appreciate the allergen information.

I agree......

I would be more likely to shop at a pet-free, smoke-free booth.

As a true 'crazy cat lady', I would always let folks know the truth...mine is a six cat home and you just can't escape an occasional furball. I do wash all items before offering them for sale and, at craft shows, I keep a sticky lint roller handy just in case one gets by me!
