White on White Antique Booth Display

 As I mentioned last week, I dedicated myself to moving one booth and dissembling another.  The net result is a total of four booths for me in the Treasures South Antique Mall, instead of five, but with tighter design in all.  This booth had become a catch all.  If it didn't fit the theme of my other booths, it came here.  The walls were accidentally a pinkish lavender, with a blue shelf and upper wall, that had been moved from another booth.  Really yucky, I guess I should have taken a before picture, but it was just so depressing.

 Thus I moved out all the odds and ends into other booths.  I'd sold off some furniture pieces which made holes in other booths, and then I moved the shelving from this booth that wasn't already white ... then all the pastel goodies went across the isle.

Long over due stuff went next door to my clearance booth ... manly things to my 'guy booth', etc.

With the booth devoid of smalls, all walls and the upper shelf were painted white, which dryed over night,  then it was moving day.



 Most of what you are seeing in the new white booth came directly from the old white booth ...



 I always love a fresh pallet, so from this point the move was fun.  I used white, cream, light brown (mainly in transferware, natural wood, and sepia tone antique photos), and with this move I added a few gold pops.

 Thanks for coming along to take a peak at my newest version of white on white ... my current decorating love!

Displaying Tiny Smalls in an Antique Mall Booth

 So what do you do, when you sell antiques, but keep coming up with really cool, but tiny stuff?

This Morton Salt pen clip is a great example.  If you put these tinies in a display, it makes them look cluttered, pieces get lost, or they get broken.

That is when I came up with the idea of bagging them, which protects them, and keeps pieces together, then pricing them with a header ....

 This is what the headers look like ... fleabits explains the small size ...  These fleabits are going with me to flea.o.logy this weekend .... 
As  you can see I made the headers to match the sign I made a couple of months ago to hang in my booth of small crafting items ... this is the blog post that shows the booth.  I have lots more tiny goodies to add ... but I started with 50 I bagged today.

I am using this great rusty reproduction wire shopping basket to display them until I get a nice hanging rack.  Is anyone else fascinated with tiny stuff?
