WestFair Update, Treasure Chest, Custom Pendants

I am having a wonderful time at Westfair this week. Today is the last day. It's always a little sad to pack up, but life goes on!

I promised a couple photos of my set up. I capitalize on a corner spot by setting up in an "L" shape, with a large opening at the front to get in and out of. I really like the set up this year, and I'm going to request the same spot for 2009, as well as that terrific counter that I "borrowed" to set up my cash register and supplies!
A great idea from Rena Klingenberg that I've used at the last couple of shows is to "showcase" my older stock to move it along. Here's my Treasure Chest (chest purchased from Hobby Lobby using a 40% off coupon!).
I've really moved a lot of my older bracelets, earrings and necklaces using this little tool. I left the old price tags on the items, so customers can see what a bargain they are getting!

Finally, Michelle and Alyssa of the LumberJills asked me if I'd make them some pendants with axes on them. I was up to the challenge, and worked yesterday on designing prototypes and finalized the pendants late last night. It was an unusual request...but I had so much fun doing it! After I get pictures of the finished pendants, I'll post the "work in progress". Hopefully you'll get as much of a kick out of them as I do.

Off to the fair!!
