vintage market in the east village


I love when the coolest people find my shop on etsy through the tool shop local.. Miss Erin the event coordinator for the east village found my shop and invited me to attend the vintage market...I knew lots of people would be there so I really had to amp up my booth, figure out what I wanted to do
 I found these plain old barrel displays and decided i wanted to color coordinate my product with my display for easy shopping, and who dosn't love when things are in rainbow order?.. ok maybe im psycho. My couch was also for sale and I sold it yay,, from junkyard crap to treasure.
 i made 200 cowboy fascinators for the stampede( as it was alos this week and we had 1,000's of tourists here looking for cowboy gear!), needless to say I was exhausted after this market.
 all set up and meeting my neighbors, this market was unlike any other Ive been in, they hand selected the shops so the feeling of the place would be cohesive, so everyone there had the same taste!, I met a lot of my teammates on the alberta street team, and could finally put a face to their etsy avatar, where we talk in our etsy forums. So that was a blast.
colored barrels and coordinating pieces by color- along with a cute tag on each barrel showing how you wear it. and mirrors attatched with ribbon so people could see what they looked like on.

all in all a fun market and I almost sold everything!

Craft booths



It's summer time and with that comes outdoor markets, and as en etsy seller, I love markets , I have since the time I was 4, and my mom took me to swiss days in heber city utah( by park city) I did lemonade stand every year asa kid the whole summer, I guess you can say my entrepreneur side started young. I love making the booths,and now that my company is big enough to go to some of these larger markets I'm feeling the pressure to make a good booth.
Heres a couple ideas I've accumulated... it's hard because my headbands are on cards..so how do i display them, so it looks very professional?
what's your favorite look? leave a comment or vote in the poll on my sidebar..
I need some direction,what would you as a buyer be drawn to?

this one I love! perfect fit for my shop? its like accesscories in a candy shop.exact feel of my brand!
 But where the crap do I find one of these ole bad boys laying around?

Then theres always slat wall?
 Which is nice because people can see it from far away.
But is it tooo commercial?




source
I love the chicken wire look. but is it too overdone, for vintage shows?



source
use wood palettes for hard headbands.with tags attached I like this idea..
but would you paint the palettes? Or leave them raw and vintage barrel like. I like both.
ok my bloggin buddies, what should I go with? go to the side bar and vote!
