austin booth set up

country living fair austin

juNxtaposition booth

quick little post 

to show you my 

booth at the fair

there was a little snaffoo

on my booth location

although i planned for a 10 x 10 spot

i ended up with a double booth

quite by accident

i was unprepared for that much space,

but it just turned out nice, light

and spacious 

i recently bought this great antique

iron crib to use as a display

 

the springs worked perfectly for my earring cards

and the rail for my new religious necklaces

 

i brought my tent frame since i usually dont do indoor shows

and dont have any 'pipe and drape' .

i bought curtains to hang from my frame

and tulle to hang as a ceiling..

it turned out very cozy..

(but with the extra booth, 

i had to rent 

pipe and drape anyway !)

my paint can displays were getting old

so i made new ones for this season

covered perfectly with

some lace i found at the flea

already aged to perfection !

 

i had enough space to use my new

print display racks

that i showed you months back

which i purchased at the 're-store'

brand new in the box !!

perfection for my matted prints !

all in all it wasnt too bad

considering i only brought enough for a 10 x 10

it turned out to be a very lucky

predicament

as it was very light were i was,

and many sections of the barn

were dark

however, i was in the middle row

and lots of people said they 'missed' me..

(anne ?)

they need to tweak the layout a bit for next year !

 most customers probably dont realize how much we

as vendors agonize about our booths

we work really hard to come up with great displays

not only to attract people, 

but to give an overall great ascetic to the show

especially a show like county living !

it's not always easy...10 x 10 is a really hard space to set up in

and allow for customers to walk around

(especially with strollers !)

and we try to be somewhat different form everyone else,

and different from ourselves the year before..

not always so easy !

the pink ruffles are my trademark

when you see them

you know it's me...

stop by and say hello !!!
