A couple of friends and I organized a home craft boutique that we held last weekend. Not only did we put the whole thing together, but we were vendors too, leading us all to have "what did I get myself into?" moments. It all went well but it was a ton of work--and we're doing it again in a week and a half! Here are some photos of my displays (click on the photos to enlarge them):
I made two different types of items: rickrack dahlias with vintage buttons and vintage ribbon corsages, (both brooch and wrist style) made with gorgeous ribbons and vintage jewelry.The rickrack dahlias were carded and hung on a fab vintage aluminum Christmas tree that I scored a few weeks ago for a mere $8!
The corsages were either wrapped and place in a large rustic bowl or pinned on my old dress form.
I am happy how my items and my displays turned out, and the items that don't sell will go into my etsy shop. Speaking of which, I'm going to start working on getting some things listed tonight--I've got lots of fun vintage Christmas goodies just waiting!
