Building a Display

<div align="center">I have this visual for my display at my very first outdoor art fair. Weathered, shabby chic pieces, antique cameras, metal jewelry, and my photography. I have been collecting pieces for the past couple of weeks and decided to set up a mock table tonight. I was so happy with it that I didn't want to take it down!</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPZmYKjyaZEzY_pqk6tjRJWc-i0qZLOC-qHT77zUDr8FJpdMiSxkAHBy_UdlqrBQpVzUzpugN5_6YJF_0YM0GDc7DXN2zK5-xh5AaEeGeoJIBYU-r5Zf29K39I3oTae6j3saxmKakQ0zkD/s1600/display.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483556712402452466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPZmYKjyaZEzY_pqk6tjRJWc-i0qZLOC-qHT77zUDr8FJpdMiSxkAHBy_UdlqrBQpVzUzpugN5_6YJF_0YM0GDc7DXN2zK5-xh5AaEeGeoJIBYU-r5Zf29K39I3oTae6j3saxmKakQ0zkD/s400/display.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 338px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> The piece on the left is actually a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">TV</span> tray holder that I bought on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">craig's</span> list for $5. I put nails in it to hang necklaces from. It's perfect! The piece in the middle is an old weather shelving unit and the piece on the right is an old <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Towne</span> Club crate. I laid burlap over the table cloth.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjElE7SIWY6_xOxC86Io9KsPeQQCeUCd8PRrgFjU73ybOEi7ZFv_w4XKUw7-rzZUSaiLA1pJtlpw6k-NBvdPMx2Kozr3XSC_t0OPAX8GaSOqjeEcdKFZUpBm4ibCG9NnRQAXnYrWQ_hzD6s/s1600/display+5.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483556702344187714" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjElE7SIWY6_xOxC86Io9KsPeQQCeUCd8PRrgFjU73ybOEi7ZFv_w4XKUw7-rzZUSaiLA1pJtlpw6k-NBvdPMx2Kozr3XSC_t0OPAX8GaSOqjeEcdKFZUpBm4ibCG9NnRQAXnYrWQ_hzD6s/s400/display+5.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> I got the awesome metal boxes with wings at Catching Fireflies at their sidewalk sale during the Berkley Bash for $1 each. They are so perfect to hang necklaces on.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr9eISR-Jv8YZRdz73Sgb0n3r0BoSrzOSSansmW4HtO7y6oSS8-wfyO7ondVrBzQ3mYpV-kVTVAwm-eBabAHYZqKSPEM-7jsF2NjLkaVXx7t-0a_aQlVMwHLqRtDn8u0MN-qhzkJzWVK2V/s1600/display+2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483556692669704226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr9eISR-Jv8YZRdz73Sgb0n3r0BoSrzOSSansmW4HtO7y6oSS8-wfyO7ondVrBzQ3mYpV-kVTVAwm-eBabAHYZqKSPEM-7jsF2NjLkaVXx7t-0a_aQlVMwHLqRtDn8u0MN-qhzkJzWVK2V/s400/display+2.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 325px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> My tent will have walls on 3 sides and I plan on backing a wood frame with burlap and hanging jewelry from it as well as hanging open frames with nails along the top and hanging jewelry. I also picked up a really cool metal trunk on the side of the road that I'm going to incorporate somehow.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsasmQmnHcgBnHb9VAaCAcSpwcgy2z1kjcpH9dUOvq-Ta0YJaLIr79i5i5PrLfJ55OimMz6FnTnwyoLTLb-Z6Bz1frGsjJAEd-ITpUIkUd2UF4lMlNjibdLggXtI4BCq49FpolHAC6-dzC/s1600/The+banner+I+made+today!.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483556686720053618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsasmQmnHcgBnHb9VAaCAcSpwcgy2z1kjcpH9dUOvq-Ta0YJaLIr79i5i5PrLfJ55OimMz6FnTnwyoLTLb-Z6Bz1frGsjJAEd-ITpUIkUd2UF4lMlNjibdLggXtI4BCq49FpolHAC6-dzC/s400/The+banner+I+made+today!.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" /></a>I made this banner using fabric from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ikea</span> and then cut the letters out of recycled sweaters and tees and ironed them on with interfacing. The fabric was a bit too black white and brown so I used watercolors and painted some of the birds lilac. I may stitch around the letters if I have time. I cannot wait for the shows this weekend!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div><br /></div>
