. . to having my booth at CURIOSITIES in Beaverton full enough!
Had Michael go with me on my last trip in and get the pegboard installed so I can actually HANG my signs:
Not that I’m terribly fond of pegboard, BUT it IS very useful for hanging signs, especially in a retail environment where things are constantly being rearranged.
Much easier than patching up and painting over nail holes every time you move things around!
Even WITH the pegboard and being able to hang quite a few signs, I don’t have room to hang them ALL! For now some extras are just plopped on a crate shelf. I still have LOTS more signs to make and stock. will have to come up with a ‘better system’ for storing the extras. The small ones, like these, can easily go in a crate. But I have a lot of BIGGER ones (up to 36″ long!) too, that I need to come up with a way to store that is also easy for shoppers to look through. I’m open to ideas!
I’m starting to add in more ‘cottage chic’ items in addition to the existing primitives. To keep it from looking too mis-matched, I’m grouping like items together.
Primitive with primitives.
And cottage chic whites together.
NO such thing as too many white pitchers!
Added a shutter to the back corner wall for a little more hanging space. My booth sign and a couple of 12″x12″ signs. NEW ‘Man Cave’ sign (LARGER version coming soon!) And the covered boxes I recently posted about. Doesn’t that wire cloche look perfect on top?!?
This wire cloche is priced individually.
This one is a ‘set’ that includes the base.
This one with the cherub base is also a set.
This one made from a wire lamp shade form, and the little metal table it’s on are individually priced.
And my official booth greeter! ALL of her components ARE for sale, but individually priced. Black wire mannequin, feather angel wings, vintage sheet music crown, vintage toille apron, vintage white petticoat, and little grey tutu.
Sweet bell cloches to collect or use to cover your favorite little findings.
Rustic weathered wood hearts with hinges and shutters with heart cut-outs.
A few more Paris chic items.
CURIOSITIES is open six days a week; 10am-6pm. CLOSED MONDAYS.
