For the past three years I have constructed a crate Christmas tree display in the front of my booth.Each year it is different.
This year I expanded the size to allow for more areas for Christmas smalls and for my dyed bottle brush trees.
All crates are tied together and tied to the chicken wire behind to stabilize.
Yes, children have tried to climb the crates.
Ten yards of tulle split in half.
Used as garland on the crates and to make Miss Chrissy a top.
I can change out items as they sell.
Along with vintage and vintage-looking Christmas items.
(PLASTIC!)
Off to organize stuff around the house to start decorating.
Finished the outside lights and wreaths Sunday.
Need to haul more items over to the booths.
Shop Small Saturday was a great day for the antique mall.
The dealers at Riverfront Antique Mall have created a Face Book page for dealers to post items and sales.
Come join us if you wish.

I'm impressed...Christmas tree crates! I can well believe kiddies would try to climb them...horrors! Did you always tie them together or was that learned the hard way?? Shuddering... Your display is beautiful though & I love the way it brings attention to your booth. It makes the smalls stand out with their place in the sun. Great idea for a vintage display!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous! I hope nobody messes it up! I would love looking at all the vintage items...like the little trees! Holiday hugs!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved your use of crates to create a holiday display! Great job, Donna!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally cool. What an awesome way to display all your Christmas smalls.

Great look Donna ... what a job that must have been, but the final result is amazing. Should call a lot of attention to your booth. Good sales.

Hello Donna! Your Christmas tree is so festive and adds the perfect holiday vibe to your booth. I enjoy how your share your booth displays as you are an expert indeed!
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate all the hauling and tugging and lifting and bending you had to do to create the new booth look. I can't quite talk Katie into a visit yet. Maybe soon. I know there's something in that booth {or the other} that I must have!!! Best wishes, Fonda
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for your Christmas tree made of crates! Looks great! I've been hitting it out of the park selling Christmas stuff. Small Business Saturday was VERY good to me this year!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun idea. I hope it draws a lot of custom to your booth.

Very cool idea, Donna and a great way to display your small items in imaginative ways.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that people were out shopping the antique mall- I think it's a lot more fun than the regular mall. :)
Wow, that is a lot of crates that I assume you painted white! Looks great! I love your colorful bottle brush trees. I tried coloring some and failed! Wish I could visit in person. I joined your FB page so I can peek in now and then.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! You are so creative! I know your regulars look forward to seeing what you come up with each year. I hope you seel LOTS of goodies this season. Have a great rest of the week!
