So, I had a birthday recently. 27. I ate cheesecake. And I took the day off of work and decided to spend it updating my booth. Which turned 2 months old. I tried to switch it up a bit. Here we go....
My attempt at a Valentine's Day display.
I put all of my red and pink items as I had in my
booth in the display in the very front of my booth.
I am so happy that a bunch of my pink band Pyrex
finally sold. This is all I have left.
These shelves feel a little bare.
Even though they're packed
as full as I can get them.
My new table display. Typewriter for typing
Valentine's Day love letters and a pink phone
for calling the one you love. And holiday hankies.
But... this typewrite is something special.
A cursive typewriter.
That didn't work when I bought it.
And I fixed it myself.
*Pats self on back*
I really think the backs of these shelves
need some vintage wallpaper. Or a
good coat of paint.
I tried out the panorama function on my camera to try
and give you a a full booth perspective.
On a happy note... I got paid from the booth too. So let's see what sold last month:

It was another good month at the booth, so no complaints here. January is going to be a long month with no holidays, so it may be a little rough. Hope the V-Day display helps.
We're preparing for a massive snow storm to hit here in Central Indiana tomorrow evening through Sunday. They're predicting around 12 inches. The mall owner sent emails to all the dealers letting us know he will close, if necessary. That for sure doesn't help sales.
So with all of this in mind... I'm trying to ramp up the neglected etsy shop before I head back for spring semester on January 13th. It has gave way to the Christmas etsy shop for the last 2 months.
Time to go stockpile bread, milk, and eggs. Ya know, in case I want to make french toast.

Your booth looks wonderful? Don't you love this Midwest weather? I'm in Iowa and it is so cold and we're suppose to get some snow too but doesn't sound like as much as you! ~~Pam
ReplyDeleteI would love to come upon your booth - looks great!
ReplyDeleteHappy 27th Melissa!
ReplyDeleteI think you V day display is great and it adds interest.
It would draw my eyes in and I would then want to see what was beyond it.
Thanks for showing your sales. That's really helpful for me- a hopeful future booth lady. ;)
Did you know you have your word verification turned on? I found out recently that some people don't know theirs is turned on so I thought I'd say something. I just moderate my comments. I've been blogging since 09 and I've never gotten any spam. ♥
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and hope it was happy. Mine is right on your heals but about double your age (you young thing)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that crazy weather headed your way!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! Hope you bought yourself something nice and vintage-y!
ReplyDelete~Erica
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah for good sales and cheese cake. And fixing the type writer yourself...holy crap Ms. Handy Women, get on with your bad self!
Happy birthday!!! Hope you're managing to dig out from the snow. Your booth looks awesome -- is this the one in Carmel? If so, I need to check it out. I love that mall.
ReplyDeleteYour booth looks great--so neat and tidy, and your displays look really nice. Happy Birthday, Diana
ReplyDeleteYou have a knack for display, it looks terrific. Congrats on all the sales. You could put fabric on the backs of the shelves, too. I've never seen a cursive typewriter, that's really cool. Featuring you on my Link Party Features Pinterest Board this week! Thanks so much for sharing this at my History & Home link party. Take care - Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
