Shepherd's Market Booth Display

Shepherd's Market craft bazaar booth friday morning right before it opened. Friday AM I needed to provide an raffle item for the school to use as part of their fundraiser for this craft bazaar and i filled a small basket with a bakers dozen individual Christmas gift tags. Which i did have a group of ladies who seen this basket in the raffle line up and that made them stop by the booth to buy cards. I left this years basket "open" so people could finger through what was inside of it. These baskets ( what was left of them two have been removed for being empty as was the spinning thread holder) are only half full. I sold that many cards. I have since packed up an box to send to OWH ( see side bar for links) It was a long, fun two days. I'm glad it only comes along once a year though. :)

9 tags in 1.5 hours

another playroom shot of how I can do it, when I have a small amount of time to just stamp, I stamp, and sometimes i die cut and or spread out what i made and add stickles to it and walk away... then later when everything is dry i dump them into containers Like this muffin tin ( an old one i bought at a yard sale for .50 cents just because i liked the color of it) and this makes it easy to see at a glance what is "ready to go" and move it out of the way I sometimes make piles along the edge of the table but, the being able to move the piece's especially small pieces is better. Room looks like a wreck at the moment. spent hours after these tags adding price tags to packaged cards for next weekends booth. and finally admitted i DO have a cold. Achoo!
