I saw his note Tom just hadn't had a chance to reply until now. Unfortunately, this is fairly common at craft shows, if you have something that is selling well you can expect that it will be copied soon enough. This is very common with small furnishings, shelves and pottery type items although I am surprised it's happening to scrolling though as (at least around me) I see very few scrollers at fairs. This is one of the reasons that I always try to have new items at fairs. Depending on how popular your items are, the folks taking pictures could very well work for an importer and are taking them to send overseas for mass production. Target recently paid a hefty fine for copying a crafter's clay pots she sold at fairs so it isn't surprising.
Of course, I use photos for building antique reproductions so I really can't talk.
