I have my first outdoor art show coming up in June, and while I'm largely unprepared (no tent, for example) I did pick up a few display items at GoodWill yesterday:
Three glasses and a white plate. I haven't decided what the plate will hold, but I'm thinking some earrings would look mighty cute dangling from those glasses. Perhaps one-of-a-kind pieces...
Anyway, I can fiddle with that later. In case you're wondering how much I cashed out for the four items above:
Boo ya. And to think, I almost went to HomeGoods instead!
Have you scored an awesome deal at GoodWill lately? Or some other thrift store? Do you also forget just how cheap stuff is there until you walk in? It's like getting a present.
These are great ideas...and super affordable. We have our first REAL festival in June as well...
ReplyDeleteI love Goodwill. Some times you really can find treasure! And it's practically free! :)
ReplyDeleteGoodwill is awesome for housewares. I saw a cabinet there for $10 a few weeks ago and didn't buy it and now I'm kicking myself! I was an hour away from home and it would not be worth it to go back.

ReplyDeleteJanet, now you know! Always get the $10 cabinet. Our GoodWill never has good furniture, so I'm jealous of those that do.
wow, that is awesome!! Hey I am looking for a good tent for outdoors too for my July show...I'd be curious what you end up with!
ReplyDeleteMost of my display items and all my photography props came from Goodwill. It's always a treasure hunt but nice items can be found there. Good luck with your show. Cheers!

Good luck with your show! I hope you post pics!
Many wishes of brilliance and creativity as you prep for your show. I am over here fretting about mine that is coming up, gasp! next week! I know what a challenge it can be to put a whole display together. Looking forward to seeing what you create.
