This couple called Sugar-Cookie on Flickr is the first company whom I am going to feature on this site. They are not in Southern Illinois, but some of their setup ideas are great! They spread out their items nicely so they are not all cluttered, and make it easy to see individual items. The bright green table cloth is nice too! They use display grid boxes to create visual levels. And they also have a lot of different types of items to choose from. I don’t know what customer would walk by and not buy something!

This next woman is uber amazing in my eyes! She participated in the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn 2008. Her display is very inviting. I really like the white pegboard for the backdrop too! I love all of her items too. This show would be so fun to go to!!!!! See her here on Flickr: Giant Dwarf http://www.flickr.com/photos/giantdwarf/
(6.19.2008) My Next wonderful lady is StitchNDye on Flickr and Etsy. She is so incredibly vibrant and full of life! She uses many fabrics which she dyes herself. I would have loved to have seen her work in person. Apparently, it rained and stormed on her in Brooklyn, and a lot of her goods got dirty, I feel so BAD for her! I have had things fly off the EZ Up and get dirty. It is just so sad when that happens!!

(6.20.2008)Today, I will feature Somethings Hiding in Here. They make a wide assortment of goodies! Not even all sewn this time! A surprise coming from me, huh?? They do screen print though, it looks like. I believe their setup is cohesive because they use a similar color palette in a lot of their items, even if the items are completely different from each other.
