Chimneyville 2009 We got a double booth here and weren't quite ready for it.  We bought another row of lights for the left end and set the booth in the middle of the 20 ft.  We used our awning poles for lights and pushed the tables out.  We used the TV trays from the camper for the cash register.  I think our curtains look kind of tacky, but they were better straight on.  If I hadn't brought them out on the sidebars it would have been better.	Booth Evolution Our booth must fit into a Honda CRV.  The frame and tent goes on top on kayak racks and the rest of the booth goes inside. We are looking for Flexibility in arrangement Light weight Compact packing Color scheme that looks good with the jewelry A cozy environment Must fit into the CRV along with step ladder, rolling carts, jewelry, lunch and us.	Handworks 2009 Nice corner booth.  We left an exit on the right end where the mirror is.  It helps when I can go outside and talk with people or help them try on things.  New signs and new photos helped too, but I wonder if they are too much.  Love the lights. Probably need more turquoise added to the table area - though we did put turquoise in the showcase with the knots and on top of the copper tables.
Renaissance Festival 2009 Finally made a decision on the color scheme.  Wish we could have found the turquoise on the table tops, but I bought all of that when I saw it.  So we used ultra suede curtains.  They are rather neutral and hang fairly well.  They also pack and wash well.  We have also gone to folding tables that will hold everything at the right height, provide flexibility in arrangement, are light and fit in the CRV.  We can set up a full 20 ft. of display space if needed.	Bukka White Blues Festival 2009 In this local show, we featured the copper jewelry and have one showcase on the side of the silver.  We also bought an EZ-up for one day shows so we don't have to work ourselves to death setting up the tent for one day.  Don't like the looks of it, but it really doesn't make sense to use 2 hours of the one day setting up and tearing down the tent.	Jubilee Festival 2009 This was the hottest show of the year.  We had to wash down the jewelry to cool it enough for people to touch.  Can't tell much about the booth, but we were doing a lot of talking about what to do with those heavy showcase stands.  Love the cases but  hate the stands. Still struggling to get a color scheme.  Tried to find turquoise for the table skirts all spring and summer.  Must have had a lot of turquoise weddings this year - nothing available.
Arts Alive Festival 2009 We were going for symmetry here - also room for people to move.  Don stands behind on the left and I work behind on the right where the copper is.  This rug is from a camper place and weighs nearly nothing - polypropylene and impervious to most everything but UV rays.	Gum Tree Festival 2009 Thank goodness for the rug here - it was a real rain out.  But we had a great crowd and excellent sales.  We are really beginning to have a body of contiguous work.  Also - the new backdrop is giving us some continuity.	Double Decker Arts Festival 2009 Not a very good shot of the booth, but have to show off that Best in Show ribbon.  What a surprise.  So excited.  And what a show day.  We sold 168 pieces in one day.
Jerry Brown Arts Festival 2009 Still struggling with a color scheme, but doing a little better.  Lights need to be forward from where they were.  The white table lights were more distracting than the black ones, but still needed overhead lights instead.  Getting better though.	Tombigbee Career Women This is a small trunk show at the Elkin Theatre, but it shows the need for a backdrop.  There is so much going on behind the booth that it is hard to focus on the jewelry.  What's up with no covers on the stands?  Looks like a mess.	Chimneyville Crafts Festival 2008 This was our first Chimneyville even though we had been in the guild 4 years by then.  We managed to get a floor covering and some flowers and tried to create a tiny jewelry store.  People stood at the edge of the rug and would sort of peer over at the displays.  After Patron's Night we brought the displays right up to the edge.  Still no color scheme.
Lowndes County 2008 We got a Trimline tent and curtains, so needed to set it up before Chimneyville.  We also covered the wooden frames we were using for the showcases on the inside.  What a job that was.  No color scheme, but we did manage to get a couple of photographs up and begin overhead lighting.	Bukka White Blues Festival 2008 We were away working and finally retired and moved home.  Had done a few trunk shows, but not really much of anything.  We did manage to get some table skirts (though they don't drape very well, and some lighting and even one side so it is a beginning.	Bukka White Blues Festival 2004 This is the first time we had our jewelry in a show.  No walls, no table skirts, no flooring, no lights - combined with some silk paintings.  But you have to start somewhere.
