Craft Displays

My thoughts have been on the up-coming craft fair with Malting Makers. I haven't sold at a craft fair before and the whole thing is quite daunting - I've never even done a car boot sale! There's so much to think of....banners, table display (getting a table - I wonder if they have them there), labels, leaflets? This week I've decided to concentrate on thinking about ways to display.

This photo was taken by my lovely Canadian Etsy e-mail/pen-pal Marissa at The Spot on Queen Design Market. An inflatable sofa makes such practical sense, I bet children jump all over it though.

Of course I have to be practical and think about how I'm going to store any display stands etc. afterwards.

Maybe something like a wooden airer

would be useful as it doesn't rely on fixing anything to a wall. A window display in TopShop caught my eye. There was a traditional wheelback chair opposite a desk - but the chair was painted matt pink. The mixture of traditional and modern made me smile. And does fit in with my vintage fabrics mixed in with the modern. I shall think about painting a new clothes airer. Pink or soft green.....or maybe one of each?

I should never look at Farrow and Ball! So many pretty colours!!!

If anyone has any ideas - please feel free to comment - all ideas welcome :)
