Mock Up

For the last several days, I have been working on my mock up display for the upcoming Vintage Chicks show. I have set this up in my dining room area, and have played around with props and proportions, carefully working within  my allotted 6' x 6' space.

I am going for a retro boudoir look, inspired by the Hollywood glam icons of the past. I must admit that memories of my grandmothers bedroom dressing table also gave me some inspiration as well! You have to imagine that I will have necklace, and bracelets draped across some of the items, and my new mannequin bust will most likely hold several necklaces.The smaller crystal dishes and trays will be great for displaying earrings, and the sexy leg adorned with the  black fishnet hose will hold anklets.

I would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions and ideas for improvement, as there is still enough time for me to make some changes. Thank you!

The Beyond Artisan Marketplace was a success! I had a super weekend, sold a lot of jewelery, met some wonderful new customers, and was thrilled to see returning customers as well. I was lucky enough to be surrounded by some wonderful  artisans, and we had a lot of fun chatting and getting to know each other, in between clients. This year I have changed my booth design to reflect the vintage styles of the jewelry that I am creating. I went for a look that recreated a womans dressing table, circa 1950's, and was pleased with the results.

You only have a few seconds to grab peoples attention, as they saunter past your table, so you have to stand out amongst the competition! Jewelry is always a tough category, as there is usually a fair amount of jewelry artists at these shows and they all have beautiful merchandise. Here I am, next to my table, you can see how everything looks from both directions.

 I am exhausted, and my feet are sore, and I have a lot of catching up to do on my poor neglected house....housework, laundry, etc. etc. I have a few custom orders on my plate, and a couple of interesting projects in the works, that I will fill you in on later! I also want to spend time this week getting caught up with all my blogging friends, and see what everyone has been up to over the last couple of weeks....I am so behind on that! I have less than three weeks, before my next big show...whew!
