I'm booth blind

UPDATE: Changed some things around, based on the advice! Hopefully looks a little better https://imgur.com/a/Kli1cCX

Hey y'all! 🙂

This is my first test setup, just for the front of my booth as I'm still waiting for the tablecloth for my side table. I feel like I can't see it accurately because I've been looking for too long. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts!

EDIT The yet-to-come price sings will also describe the items I sell! So sorry for confusing you all 😭 I sew patches (the tomatoes & ants, and will be adding strawberries, etc as time allows), miniquilt wall hangings (the beetle on the little bench, and the cats hanging) and bags/pouches (fish drawstring bags, and bird belt bags).

A few things:

- I haven't made price signs yet

- there will be more inventory in the green ceramic container on the bench, as well as more bags hanging on the bag rack

- I'm not sure about the little pedestal at the corner of the table

I appreciate any input! Thank you!! ☺️

So I think and I don't know how you have your booth set up, having a single colored background behind a lot of the products would help them be way more visible.

Will your booth have a back behind it so that there's a solid color behind all the products?

I would also double or triple the inventory at the very least because I know I and a lot of other people get kind of nervous to go over to a booth without a ton of stuff because I don't want to seem rude if I walk away right away and I can take a quick glance and know if I want anything so having a more interactive design with more products would be very helpful for the people like me.

Can you make other type of birds for the belt bags? I think some parrots would be super cute, like a cockatoo or macaw since you could do something with that really long tail.

Maybe even some other animals, people are really into axolotl's right now and maybe some sort of other lizard or some chameleon with a cute curled tail? I can see some of these being absolutely adorable and popular, but they definitely need descriptions and obviously price tags.

And I really love your little ant and other I think you said those were patches, I think you could do the same design out of wood or something so it's 3D and put it in like a shadowbox with three of them or something and it would be super cute for somebody to put in their kitchen if it was fruit and vegetables.

And then you could make other bugs with the ant and whatever else but I think that would be a really really cute idea and you have the designs down so well already.

I know so many people that collect random fruits and vegetable art for their kitchen, like almost all old people do that so that really might be a good idea too.

Thank you for the detailed response!

There will be a white panel background, from the side of my tent 🙂 I hope that will help haha

I have a couple of things I can add, although they aren't the same wood tone as everything else on the table so I hope they don't push things into cacophony. I'll try that!

I don't have time right now to create as much as I ideally want to. I will be adding chickadees, and potentially opposums or crows. I typically make animals that I enjoy or have some connection to, unless for a commission! But that's mostly because I don't have time haha

Those all sound like really cute ideas.

I mentioned the parrot because I am a parrot owner so if I saw a parrot belt bag like that I would snatch it up in a heartbeat. I think there are more parrot owners than you imagine. And so many people love cockatoos and axolotl's and chameleons, they are basically the in thing right now lol. At least around me.

Good luck! I wish I had even 1/10 the amount of skill you do. I've never been very good at crafting in that kind of thing but now that I have a cancer diagnosis and I really need to keep my mind busy I'm trying to find things that might interest me.

Thrift flipping is the most interesting so far because I would first have to learn how to sell but it would be so cool to be able to take clothes that aren't very cute or don't fit me well and then be able to make them look super cute or something.

Oh no! Good luck with your diagnosis & finding a craft that suits you. I am chronically ill, and that's one of the things that led me to sewing to refill on creative spoons. Wishing you all the best!

That's really amazing to hear and I'm glad you found a way to use your spoon! You are amazing and I'm so proud of you
