obsessed

"to think about something unceasingly or persistently; dwell obsessively upon something"

Yes, it's true, I've been obsessed the last couple of weeks.
Not with a piece of jewelry. 
My Booth.

Some observations from the last show.

The name of my blog? etsy shop?
yep
romantic decay

When we attached the sides to the booth what did i see?
WHITE PLASTIC
It screams decay doesn't it?!


I used tags to display my earrings.
Did I mention the heat index was 105 degrees with 999% humidity

They were folded over in a couple of hours.

And then there is attracting people to your booth.
I use a dressmakers form on the outside which people would stop and look at, but not wander in.

Solutions?

20 yards of tulle to drape and soften the plastic.

5 lbs. of rebar wire
6 days of twisting, bending, looping, wrapping
36" of quirky
my husband calling me "obsessed"


My earring chandelier.
(indoor pictures are awful)

This will be hanging in the back.
I hope it works.
I would hate to have to grab people by the ear and drag them in :)

Now back to the jewelry obsession!

I hear ya! I do the same thing...I have learned to take pictures at each show so I can critique them and improve my display each time.

Excellent! Looks like you are on the right track for sure. It's tough to make that white plastic look old! I use tuule (sp) curtains I picked up at Ikea, to soften the back drop. Lots of old lace, books, silver trays. Looks pretty good. You'll get it, and people will notice it! Riki
