Although it is only 40 degree tops here, my wonderful hubby brought home a heater from his shop so I could work out in the garage again. I have a big show in 2 weeks and have added so many new items, I wanted to make sure I had room for everything.
My last show I had a big wall of grids... I didn't like it so much. I didn't like that we didn't have a space to ourselves for the check out, my legs hurt the entire weekend because of having to stock those grids, and Barbara had mentioned at one point not to make your stand look too much like a store - which to me - the wall did.
Here is my revamped version at about half what it should be because it's just a run through. No signs, no pictures, no pricing - just the basics.
This is the front - just wanted to make sure my new banner would work with my skirting and table covers

I spent probably 6 hours dragging everything out, setting up, taking notes, and taking everything back down again. I did have a lot of help from my hubby and he checked in on me a lot too. It was a lot of work, but worth it because now I know what all I need to buy or make and all the signs that need to be made. Also makes it easier when the day of the show arrives and I need to set up, it won't take quite as long now that I know where everything will go.
Thanks for checking out my pics!
