I swung by Goodwill on Monday, while I was out, and after not finding anything I was really looking for, I switched gears and started to think about what I could use at the Holiday Market for display purposes. Here’s part of what I came home with.
The large Christmas floral in the back was in really good shape and for $2.99, I thought it would make for a nice display on the main table, since it is a Holiday market.
The glassware I’m going to use to hold some candy for customers to the booth ~ some of those red and white peppermints in one and in the other maybe Christmas chocolate kisses. For the large glass container, I am going to use that to hold the large boxes of match boxes I’ll be dressing up.
I couldn’t pass up this little tote and it can hold tags, but I will also sell it. Once it is transformed it will be good to go.
The little silver tray reminded me of those Ex Voto hearts {did I spell that right?}. I thought this would be good to hold some of my cards. The last two I found on my way out. They were still on the cart to be put on the shelves, but I caught a glimpse of their size and color {even with things piled on top of them}.
These frames will be great for a project I’m copycatting from another blogger. I don’t even have to do anything to them, just clean them up. The frame is already black, which I wanted, and the glass is intact. I will show you what I do with them in another post. What do you think of these display ideas?
Great finds! I rarely find items that are inexpensive at our Goodwill. It's so frustrating. They price items higher than they would have originally sold. The arrangement is in great shape! I can't wait to see what you do with the frames.
ReplyDeleteI would have bought all of it, too! The floral piece still looks great and I love the candy idea! Great idea for the business cards, too. I have a ton of small silver trays from Goodwill that I keep some of my jewelry making supplies in. Love this heart-shaped one.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good eye for seeing how you can use items. I wish I were like that! You have some really great ideas for the sale!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing what you do with the frames. I have one that has been sitting here waiting for inspiration!

Nice finds! Love the little tote!

I really like the idea of the heart tray for your business cards. I think it will look sweet. Can't wait to see what your whole booth looks like. You will have to remember to take pictures for all us West Coasters. :-)
ReplyDeleteKathy, you found some great items. I like the ideas that you have for them!
ReplyDeleteLove those dishes and the candy idea is a good one. Great finds.
ReplyDeleteDrop by for a vist.

Great finds Kathy and sounds like you have some great ideas for their uses as well. I love the little silver heart tray. Hope you're having a wonderful day, Gail
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea to find containers for things you're selling. I think Goodwill hit the mark for you this time!
ReplyDeleteTerrific finds, Kathy. I'm sure they'll be used in very creative ways.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Mary Alice
Good finds, Kathy! I like the idea of offering candy to customers, may have to do that myself. The floral arrangement looks great, can't believe you got that so cheap. I find dollar store boxes at our GW for $1.95! I've just about given up on them!
ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas floral. It's in such great shape too.
ReplyDeleteThere you go again...always finding the best deals!!!
