Craftin' Wife's Creations: My Smoky Mountains Handmade Creations Store Display

Hey Y'all!

So excited to get my display in and set up this past weekend!

In the store~

All set up, and ready to go. She (the owner) said I should get more ready, because she's sure I'll sell out pretty quick. The sign in front of the shirt is going to be hung on the wall as well as a "meet the crafter" type post she's had us all do. Writing about myself, especially in 3rd person, was hard.

Here's what I came up with:

Amanda has been a crafter all her life. Her father worked for a major craft retailer in OH (where she grew up) in the 80s and 90s, and was always bringing home new products from employee sales and freebie days. Her mother was always making something, from curtains, to painting, and everything in-between, and loved to get Amanda and her sister involved.

Amanda and her husband, who's from NC, moved to Eastern TN in August 2004 (a month shy of their 1yr wedding anniversary).

After her niece was born, Amanda got back into crafting, and her passion for it has grown since.

As a survivor Amanda is very involved in raising awareness for Endometrial Cancer.

In her spare time Amanda likes to read, hike, travel, play video games, and spend time with family.

Writing about yourself always feels cringy to me. I didn't want it to be too long, or too short, hopefully this works.

I originally had the set up against the wall more facing the window, to not block others as they set up, but the owner suggested I move it diagonally so you could see it as you entered. I should have moved the table cloth too, but didn't really notice at the time. Next time I go in I'll try to move it to the front without having to dismantle the whole thing. We'll see how that goes.

I'm sure the set up will change and evolve as I figure out what does best in this location. (It's local enough to my home to be doable for me, but not in the direction we normally go to do errands/shopping, etc.)

I think going forward I'm going to put small and medium together, and add plus sizes (2xl and up) in the same cube. There is another person set up who does towels, so going forward I'll probably do bags, or more cups, or something else in that place. I have 4sq foot. so I have unused space here, or I could expand in the future if I wanted to.

Working on getting it all set up~

If you've ready previously, or follow me on any social media you've probably seen most of these in sneak peeks.
