How to display the goods.
In preparation for the summer craft shows, I’m thinking about displays again. Basically, just some tweaking to the stuff used last year but it needs to be more exciting. It’s early I know but I wanted to know exactly what I needed to keep my eyes open for and two things found me this weekend.
First up, some cool barber shop striped paper for the back of this tabletop shelf (which was intended for the bathroom originally)…
And then a wire basket perfect for holding the stationery sets I have…
And finally, I figured out what I wanted to hang from the ceiling of my tent…smiling tote bags! I had been racking my brain for weeks over what the most perfect thing would be and I just couldn’t get it. Finally, I was flipping through my Flickr favorites and found the most wonderful idea from this image! I figured happy shopping bags would be the perfect thing to get folks in the mood. :)
Getting there, getting there.

Well, my answer won’t be helpful to you, I’m afraid Laura…but I made the totes from my fabric stash.

I love your paper-lined shelf & the happy bags! I must confess that I hoard pretty gift wrap, and most of it never sees the light of day. What craft shows will you be at this summer?

Love your display…for more help with figuring out the whole craft show thing, you might want to check out CRAFTS AND CRAFT SHOWS- How to Make Money 2nd edition by Phl and Judy Kadubec. If you would like a comp copy, let me know.
Enjoy and happy selling.
