Looks like I really need to practice and learn how to use my new camera. I am so excited to be sitting at my new computer!! It was more than overdue having had so many problems with the other one for so long now. I have a nice large screen that I can look at everything clearly and I can type without the letters not coming up! I was starting to think that it was my typing skills. lol. It runs so quiet too compared to the other one. I also got to install my new camera, the other one only had 4.1 Mega Pixels this one has 12.1!! It was time to replace that too. Now I have to sell enough Jewelry to pay for it.
If you had seen the previous display I had you would see the evolution. I have a few more stands and busts and my earrings are grouped together. I also have matching table cloths in a nice neutral chocolate. I had two tables back to back at this show. It was nice to be able to spread myself out a little bit.
I have everything on trays or on racks pretty much. Having so much inventory I have a lot to carry and this makes it easier. I am trying to come up with an idea to carry necklaces around, I always seem to get them tangled and I really don't want to damage them so a better system is a priority at this point.
I was unsure about how much room I was going to have so I got this little shelf the night before the show. It was really nice having it and came in handy as I was able to display certain things a little better. The cool tree at the top is from Costco, I love it and got so many compliments on it I should have bought a bunch and sold them at a profit!! I should at least have gotten myself a couple more.
My lovely assistant {just kidding} Held something up just behind the tree so I could get a better picture of the things hanging on the tree without all the background interferance.
Just a closeup of one of my stands with the earring cards I made from scrapbook paper and a custom made stamp. You can also see my terrible setup for my bookmarks. That is going to be a tough one to figure out. The only way to really have the room for these is to stand them up, and with these styrofoam blocks I thought it might work. It mostly did until everyone was taking the bookmarks out of the foam to get a better look at them and then putting them back. This caused them to get loose in the foam. Back to the drawing board. lol. I did have a feeling that would happen.
Note to self: tone down flash or figure out which setting makes the pictures a little less bright.
I wish you could see the stones on some of my pieces a little better.
I also had my baskets of handmade cards there and they did really well! The flowers are actually pens.
That is about all I can show you. I forgot to take pictures at my last show, but it was pretty close to being the same. I had some stuff that was gone {thank goodness} that is the point afterall, and some new stuff.
I plan on fixing up a couple of doors that I have in the garage. They are bifold wood doors and I think they will make a really nice backdrop when not bright pink. lol.
I will also have done a distressed painted/stained finish in green on that little shelf. It was not meant to be left as is but having bought it the night before the show I did not have much choice.
Until next time...

Great display! I like to have different levels. That tree is cool. I will have to have my sister hunt one down at her Costco.
I have two trees like that from Target a few years ago. They are gold, and I have always wanted to paint them black. Perhaps I will. I actually started using one for my most worn jewelry on my dresser. So pretty. Have you tried a glass vase with sand in it for the book marks? Maybe a rectangular opening for ease of access. That way the book marks will stand up, they will be a higher height and they will be easy to put back. Just a thought. Kudos to you on your show. Looks like you had a lot of inventory! Enjoy the day!

Your display looks really good! And I am very fond on the necklace tree. It looks like you are putting that new camera to good use.
Your table looks great! Love the display tree from Costco - what an awesome idea!
I hope you did well at your show - looks like you put a lot of work into it!
love the set up/display! I went to see my stuff at a craft show for the first time (entered last year and didn't go to the show/sale itself) and it looked HORRID- we're talking UGLY! So, I have to get to work on my displays. I think I should get some busts for my necklaces. I have a "book" that I got at Michaels' and finished and put velvet inside it. I stand it up and hook the bookmarks over it like a book cover. I like the idea of someone up above who suggested using a vase with sand. Maybe, a pail? Where did you find your earring displays? I bought a mesh trash can that I'm going to paint black and use upside down as an earring display (at least I think I am). Dunno- I need to figure out my display. :) Great job!
