The other thing you do in your booth is to show people how to display things in their homes. For whatever reason, a lot of folks can't imagine the 'how to' on their own.

Everything looks so beautiful and appealing. <br />Unfortunately, at the end of this month, I am giving up my space at the Co Op. In reading your post, I realize and have for some time that with my very busy schedule of working full time night shift, I can not devote the time to being a "shop" owner so to speak. Everything you spoke of is what I have no time to do so I am giving it up.....for now!<br />I will do 2-3 craft fairs a year and maybe go back to selling on Ebay and hopefully, when I am no longer working, I can reopen my own little " shop" somewhere.<br /><br />You are superb at what you do and you have all of my admiration!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />DebbieDebbie-Dabble Blog and A Debbie-Dabble Christmashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393980831584145593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423109522341970047.post-59701403300569925332011-01-20T05:54:43.829-08:002011-01-20T05:54:43.829-08:00Sissie, as always thanks for such great advice!

Y...Great tips Sissie! I try to to follow them all! <br />Your booths look beautiful. I need to go in and do some fluffing soon myself. I sometimes wonder if the other vendors in our store think we're crazy always moving stuff around because we're the only ones that do it. Which is unfortunate I think, it helps freshen things up a lot.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454925115428994669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423109522341970047.post-66487108169811269732011-01-19T21:32:34.855-08:002011-01-19T21:32:34.855-08:00What a lot of work it is to make everything look b...What a lot of work it is to make everything look beautiful. As I was reading this I realized that if the booths at the antiques mall I frequent don't have a clear walkway, I'm far less likely to enter and look around. I never thought about it before. <br />Your photos are wonderful!<br />Blessings,<br />MarciaSimple Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655741174904816921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423109522341970047.post-87862609074708765402011-01-19T20:56:13.204-08:002011-01-19T20:56:13.204-08:00A+!
