Planning the box ~ 1 of 3 photos

Always set up your box at home before the show. In this way you can figure out what displays work and which do not. You want to pack up only what you will use and need. I waste a lot of time in deciding which displays to use, what colors, and how its all going to work to most appropriate visual marketing advantage and still be easy for the customer to browse.

Oh, and I bought 2 6 foot tables (only needed 1) ..benevolent thing..as one was damaged, and I still had one that was ready for show. see next photo....

It was our first, self-conceived, self-financed, and self-powered popup soup larder. ... I was in a talk by a local homeless charity the other week - just by chance - and I was irritated. The charity [I won't name it as they all work like this, and they *are* doing the best they can right now - no spotlight picking at faults until we have a properly thought out integrated solution ready to go to offer as an improvement, I feel] is one of the front-line staging posts working with the specific council housing service [sham] to feed poorly housed types "the [legally] homeless" [like me if I chose to ask them for their "assistants" - I don't; gave up long ago] into the available [chronically unavailable] relief [abusive - and only available temporarily and then they kick you out again, and you go through the whole group all over again, and again, and...

DIY In Show Nov 2009 ~ Booth Display

Virtue side of standard 6 foot table Most displays were thrifted, hand made, or recycled. My favorite find was the upolhstered blanket/comforter champion found in a thrift store for $12.00 and repurposed into a jewelry display. empty 5 pound coffee cans are used not only as display pedestals, but then used to get rid of the baskets and other items in when show is over. Nearly everything in photo was recycled/ repurposed/upcycled. Fish ornaments made from tp tubes and or aluminum cans, Jewelry from aluminum cans, and baskets from aluminum cans and rope. Even the magnets are from aluminum cans and EVA suds. The tablecloth was Hancock fabrics "on sale" end of the roll find. I love it...no wrinkle and a lovely textured velour. The only "new" jotting ...bought at 1/2 price was the photo display tree....which I use as a display for my holiday fish ornaments.
