Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Violet Congrats!
Wonderful job of retailing. You have used your space and displays to your best advantage. The color of the table cloths is perfect. Allows the colors of the jewelry to shine through no matter what color they are. Perfect. No wonder you sold lots. Wish I could have been there. Sorry you are so far away. Nothing like being on opposite ends of the U.S.A. Faith in

Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Awesome display Violet! I love how clean and elegant it looks, and still holds a lot of your work! Very classy! I list the materials with the jewelry I make too, but I’ve never had anyone “appreciate” it verbally. I was beginning to wonder if it was a waste of my time. Glad to hear your customers like it!
