Had my eye on those crates too.
I think I have a couple of those out in the barn….
Yay! Free display!

I purchased all of my wooden crates at our local antiques market. The one used for my earrings is actually an RC Cola crate. I chose that one to use because it was shallow. You just need eye hooks and some picture hanging wire.

Hi, Ali! I’m liking the displays. I have a question for you. In the top pic you have what appears to be a wooden box with cables attached to each side and you have your earrings displayed on them. I have been searching for something like that for my earrings to no avail. Where did you find those?

Whew, I’m still in recovery mode from that big week! I wanted to give a shout out to the folks who made the wooden display backs. Check DITR here on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/DITR?section_id=10768564
And I just thought of another tip for any of you mounting your first art fair: SNACKS!!

Great display technique! I love the type jewelry you do – always unique and colorful. It speaks to the Boho in me!

Wow, Ali! Your booth looks super-cool with all the displays, and the designs are to die for! I have yet to do a show…selling items by word of mouth and other opportunities. I am now motivated to get a liscence and do a show!

Hi, Am new to festivals and always like to see how to display items. I have read that everything needs to be up for visuals but I see you have both. How are the sales? My last fair was in VA during the bad storm and we had to shut down. Good luck.
