I adore custom framing but it can be quite expensive, which got me thinking about some alternatives. After all, necessity is the mother of invention, is it not?Turns out a lot of people have had this same thought and have created some lovely options to display artwork sans framing. Check them out! Above: This option from Deko employs wooden trouser hangers to display art. That’s it! And I love it. I found this elegant display idea on Freshome.

In today's fast-paced and ever-evolving retail landscape, small businesses and local boutiques often find themselves in an uphill battle against the dominant force of fast fashion retailers. With their colossal marketing budgets, aggressive pricing strategies, and global reach, these retail giants can easily overshadow the unique charm and personalized touch that local businesses offer. However, despite the challenges, there are numerous ways in which small businesses and boutiques can not only survive but thrive in the face of such fierce competition.

Saturday was the perfect day for a festival! It was sunny and warm, but not hot, and there was a light breeze blowing every now and then. My booth layout was a little different than I had planned. I didn't get to use my full 10 x 10 space so I didn't use all the props I normally use and I had to leave out 1 of my tables. I also had to make other adjustments and put my shutter easels closer together to make room for customers to cut across a corner of my space to go into the shop door beside my booth. Hopefully next year it'll be different because I sure could have used that 3rd table that I usually have set up. I covered my two tables with cheap canvas drop cloths from Big Lots. They were perfect for an art booth! Since I wasn't using Honeysuckle Lane as my business name, I didn't have a banner so I improvised and used clothes pins to clip my used, disposable art palettes to the front of the table. What do you think? People walking by commented on it and said it was a fun way to decorate an art booth. And if you remember, I had to change what I was making for the festival. Because of arthritis pain in my fingers, I couldn't embroider so I painted instead. I didn't have any prop displays for art and I put the word out that I was looking for old used shutters. I had plantation shutters in mind, but these board and batten shutters were offered to me and I used them to make my easels. We didn't see customers walking by with bags and bags of purchases... maybe they were enjoying the nice weather, food, music, and walking their dogs? However I did have sales and customers bought original art, prints, pillows (some I had made in the past and that had been in the shop behind my booth), and flower pins! Now that the Lavender Festival is over and I am going to take the summer off, I am listing remaining items in my Etsy shop. For now, I have listed silk ribbon pillows and a few original paintings, but check back through the month of June for the rest of the original artworks and prints to be listed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let's back-track a little now and I'll show you how I made the shutter easels. They cost me just over $2 each... can you believe that??? My sister's former boss had the shutters and I was going to buy them from him, but he surprised us and brought them to her and said to give them to me... free of charge! I thought that was really sweet of him. :) So, shutters: FREE. I needed paint... and I already had some on hand from a previous project so I considered that FREE as well. I needed slats to nail on the shutters to stand the artwork on and I found them in my husband's scrap pile... FREE. The only cost I had was hinge sets and I got them at Walmart for $1.97 plus tax per set. I made 5 shutter easels so I guess you could say it cost me $10 plus tax which I thought was pretty good! Here are the (somewhat) step by step pics: 1: shutters in original state 2: cutting slats with the bandsaw (one of the few power saws I'm not chicken to use) 3: nail slats on shutters (forgot to take a photo) 4: paint shutters while being thankful that I can use my husband's workshop for this :) 5: screw hinges on shutters --- why measure when you can eyeball it? ;) 6: finished shutters I made these on Thursday and had to go set up on Friday. I only did one coat of paint because it was so humid and I was afraid a second coat wouldn't dry in time. I am quite pleased with how they turned out. They weren't perfect, but they had a cottage look to them that I liked! Thanks for stopping by... I'll share some paintings later this week. Take care & God bless, Lana
Most popular easy portable display ideas for markets and craft fairs - save time and energy with these clever, eye-catching display ideas for vendors.
Platte displaystandaard - ideaal voor handwerkbeurzen of winkeldisplays. NU VERKRIJGBAAR IN VERSCHILLENDE PLANKLENGTES! Deze standaard is ontworpen om glazen onderzetters en borden tentoon te stellen, maar kan worden gebruikt voor een verscheidenheid aan items, waaronder kaarten, sieraden, afbeeldingen, keramiek of boeken. De standaard bestaat uit drie planken, twee uiteinden en één rugsteun waardoor hij zeer compact is voor transport en ook zeer snel en eenvoudig in elkaar te zetten. Alles is nauwkeurig in elkaar gezet - geen lijm, schroeven of andere bevestigingen nodig. De drie planken hebben elk een opstaande rand van 1,25 cm om te voorkomen dat spullen verschuiven. Dit fungeert ook als een verstevigingsapparaat om te voorkomen dat de planken doorzakken. Het is ook mogelijk om de planken ondersteboven te draaien voor extra breedte als de voorste rail niet nodig is om spullen op hun plaats te houden. De getoonde displaystandaard heeft een totale hoogte van 28 cm (11") en de diepte is 17,5 cm (7"). De planken zijn elk 7,5 cm breed (met 6,5 cm achter de voorrail). Houd er rekening mee dat de onderste twee planken een bruikbare diepte van 3 cm hebben vanwege de overhang van de andere planken. De verticale afstand van de planken bedraagt 7 cm. Al het materiaal is 6 mm dik MDF en geschikt om te schilderen (zorg ervoor dat alle sleuven beschermd zijn tegen verf als u uw stand decoreert, anders wordt de montage beïnvloed). Om een idee te geven van de grootte: de onderzetters op mijn foto's zijn 10,5 cm x 10,5 cm. Levering van alle stands (behalve de kleinere optie) gebeurt via koeriers vanwege de pakketlengte. Deze displaystandaard wordt aangeboden in drie planklengtes van 30 cm, 50 cm en 75 cm (bruikbare planklengtes). Ik kan grotere/kleinere/hogere/bredere versies van deze standaard maken, dus als deze niet helemaal aan je eisen voldoet, laat het me dan weten en ik geef een offerte voor een aangepaste versie! Kijk ook eens naar mijn andere schapdisplays (afzonderlijk vermeld). Aarzel niet om contact met mij op te nemen als u vragen heeft. LEVERING IN HET BUITENLAND MOGELIJK - MAAR NEEM CONTACT MET MIJ OP VOOR DE VERZENDKOSTEN.
