One Of A Kind Booth Photos...


Someone had asked to see images of my display/booth at The One Of A Kind Fair.  The Etsy area was set up as an open concept with each vendor having a 5'x5' space marked out.  I was a little worried about how I was going to display my work with no walls or columns to hang things on but I worked it out.  After lots of searching I lucked into an old retail fixture at a Habitat for Humanity shop and with a quick coat of high gloss white paint it was perfect.  I added a gloss white shelf fixture from IKEA and repurposed a small table base I had into a small desk with storage underneath and a countertop to package paintings.  I machine stitched bags in three sizes out of unbleached parchment and ordered stickers from MOO to seal them.  All in all things went very smoothly and in the end I was so happy to be on an aisle with lots of open space.  I really expected to be overwhelmed and wiped out but at the end of each day I felt tired but energized.  It was great talking to people about the process and seeing people connect with my work.  I can't thanks my friends and family enough for encouraging me to take this leap and for supporting me every step of the way.  It really does take a village...
