Getting in the Sprit.

 

It is that time of year again. Time for lefse making, cookie decorating, and eating large amounts of food. But in the small business world it means making money. We have to start early on the holiday grind. At Hello the House I have started to revamp my space into a funky winter wonderland. I want to stand out and be the space to come to for fun and unconventional décor. I have hand dyed over 70 bottle brush trees and made adorable vintage cars into "traveling" snow globes.

 

I just love how these little winter scenes turned out and I am bound to make more. Looking forward to the weekend as the start of the official shopping season and big traffic at the store. I am anxious to see how sales are and what everyone is finding at the shop. It isn't the reason for the season but in the cycle of the dollar my art and crafts being sold help me and my family pay the bills and enjoy our holiday as well. Cheers to all.

Scout Obsessed

I have been so busy. With the start of a new school year, getting back into the routine with the kids, keeping up with selling vintage on Etsy and at Hello the House in downtown Hudson, and now starting Scout I am beat and it isn't even fall yet. 

But I love it and busy at this point hasn't turned into overwhelmed... Yet. 

Here is a peak at a store display Scout Supply Co. Is doing for a great environmentally sound and stable shop in Hudson called The Purple Tree. 

So honored to be asked to do this. 

Pompom garland, song frames, chair frames, paper garland, fabric garland, various necklaces, wooden phrase plaques... the list goes on... this is just what I have done and I still have deer heads and a few other tricks up my sleeve... oh my. At least I have a month and a few odd days here and there for the show.

Packaging

Simple

Organized

Clean

I want a display that looks not only professional but also functional. I will have an example of each product out of the packaging so that the buyer can handle the goods, so to speak. They will be able to try them on and feel the pieces. All the while keeping the display neat and orderly and consistent. I have tried to make a effort in keeping all the products the same length as I can and generally the same with very small variations. I hope it works like it does in my head.
