Bead-itudes says:I think your booth looks great Shimmer Chick. Everything looks easy to see and it’s not to cluttered.
I hope you did well at the show…..:>)

Chicky Suz aka Susan Z says:I agree, easy to see what is displayed. Is that a case or trunk? Just a thought, if you opened it you could hang jewelry inside and gain a little more space.

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Nice display. Love the beautiful trunk. I would have loved to shop your booth. (You might want to think about pressing your table cloth first next time, just a little hint.)

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Hope your sales went well and you made some contacts for future sales. Looks like fun to me!

Deb D Grammy Chick says:Very neat and orderly display…easy to find just what you might be looking for, or to spot something that you didn’t know you were looking for!

Lynn g says:Very nice, easy to see all the displays, I have a suitcase in my display and I lined it with pretty fabric and stuffing, and opened it ,to use as additional display, Is that a suitcase??

shimmer chick says:Thanks Chickies! yes it is a suitcase (that I found near the dumpster)
I was liking the crinkly fabric, but maybe I should iron it… may need to get new fabric????

Buster Browns MoM says:Lucky find on that suitcase!! I like it set up just like it is… except for the table cloths, they do look wrinkled rather than crinkly..

Natures Precious Gems says:Very nice display, it isn’t overwhelming for shoppers. I keep Downy wrinkle release with all my booth/displays. So much easier than ironing!

Shannon M says:I have a question. What do you do in wind? Do your earrings blow down. I had a show where I lost too much stuff because they were blowing away! I like the set up (especially the trunk).

Beadlady3 aka Cindy says:Have you tried a polyester velvet cloth? You can get it by the yard fairly cheap and it doesn’t wrinkle when packed! Measure your tables & the length you want it to hang down on the sides. I bet you can find it in a crushed-look gray like that, and it will look fabulous. Do you also use table risors (aka bed risors) to bring up the height of your table?

Celticcrossing says:What an amazing display! Yours would certainly be a booth that I would be quickly drawn to. Did you make your own earring cards too?
Hope you had amazing sales!
