Goodwill Craft Fair Displays
by
Claire Rose
My favorite boutique, Club Goodwill, provided me with my caft show displays!
So, I'm about to step out into a world quite unknown to me-
A vendor at outdoor craft fairs-
You know the kind- the big white tents on town greens,
all decorated with crafts and local artisans-
A bit overwhelming to me-
but I ordered the big white tent-
Quite the hysterical sight-
setting it up in my driveway alone-
It's called EZ Up - right?
Wrong- the box said goes up in 10 seconds-HA
and you can do it yourself- NOT!
If I could have taken a picture of me inside it, I would have!
Not a pretty sight for sure
but the show must go on as they say,
so onward I go-
This is the lovely tent upright after my darling daughters
came to my rescue- guess they heard my screams!!
Now, the problem remained-
how to decorate it- not really a problem- the fun part-
Tables are borrowed from my sister-
but I had to pick a color scheme-
I looked out back and noticed
my pup's cottage I painted a few years back-
Turquoise and it really popped- so, yep, I went with turquoise-
Goodwill was my go to boutique for displays-
Last year, I found this "ladder",
more like a display shelf and I
painted it red, white and blue for my
Patriotic front steps-
you can see it here-
So, turquoise it became-
White drop cloths will cover the tables
and Job Lot had turquoise
and white check table cloths for $4
so they will go over the white cloth.
The tables will look something like this-
Now to figure out a display for my wreaths-
guess I'm heading back to my fave outlet!
So, wish me luck- the set up part, that is-lol-
hopefully the EZ Up Tent will be easy
and the show goes on!
Take care, gotta fly-

My first craft fair table using my Goodwill finds as displays.
This shelf cost my $1 and with a little tweaking and spray paint-I love how it looks!
50 cents later and I have a great display piece for my table.
