Two days later, my Mom died…. As you can imagine, I practically forgot about my booth.
As time passed, I started getting back into “doing things”. Although I still did not have any bears done for the booth I did want to make it look better!
I had taken measurements of the shelves back in December. I wrote them down, but unfortunately lost that piece of paper. I thought I remembered what they were.
I wanted to add a bit of color to my display and decided to cover some lengths of cardboard with a solid colored wrapping paper. I went to our local Hobby Lobby (a hobby, craft and home decor store) and got some pretty plastic Easter eggs. I also dug out a floral garland I owned.
I looked in my home for other items I could add to the display that I was willing to part with. These items were priced quite a bit lower than the artist bears. Selling these can help pay for the monthly “booth rent”.
I also thought of creating some pillows… (another lower cost item). At first I was going to make dog pillows, but then I remembered I lived in the horse capital of the world! So I decided to start with horse pillows.
I bought some fabric, did some designing and stitched up 4 pillows.
I brought them all to my booth, and there realized that I was wrong on the shelf measurements! Ugh! Oh well, What I have will still brighten up the booth for now, and next visit I can bring shelving coverings in the correct size.
