Sip & Shop Home Show Results

Sunday's Sip & Shop was so much fun!
 
Our living room was transformed into a Retro Revival shop.  Walking in the front door...
 
 
My products were displayed throughout the space.
 
 
Lots of shower caps were bought, several people commenting about what nice stocking stuffers they'd make.

 
I used the sideboard to display sleep masks and pot mitts (several of each sold), and hanging from the mirror, my vintage Christmas ornaments wreath (still for sale in my Etsy shop).
 
 
 
In the middle of the floor I loaded our tiered table with my vintage Christmas planters (one sold), vintage planter pin cushions (two sold) and at the bottom, my "canned" aprons (one sold).
 
 
And in front of the stairs I displayed more aprons (14 sold) in my old grocery cart and funny, retro tea towels (2 sold) in the laundry basket.
 
 
As always, the best part of a show is the smiling faces of my customers!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Overall, doing a home show was much easier than a "real" show ~ hauling my things upstairs and setting up/breaking down was a snap!  And even though I didn't get the huge crowds like an official show, it was still a great kick start to my biggest selling season.
 
Thinking I may do another home show, maybe in the spring before Mother's Day.  In the meantime, I've got quite the to-do list today ~ apron and shower cap orders plus another tutu tulle Christmas tree skirt order, and another vintage doily table runner order.
 
 
I'm a happy little elf!

Vintage Planters Repurposed into Pin Cushions

 
My little stash of Retro Revival vintage planters that I repurposed into pin cushions?
 
 
They're available now in my Etsy shop.
 

These little darlings make perfect gifts for that someone special.
 
Hope you have a special day!
