FMG has some like those - I've been looking for some nice ones, and didn't think I wanted to deal with fuzz all over the velvet ones. =) I tend to look on eBay for all that sort of thing, usually. Yup, that's exactly the same with me. I know that I'm always going to be drawn to certain colours (like pink!), depending on my mood, but it's also easier to see what a vendor has if I'm looking for a particular colour. I like the idea of showing by collection too. I don't know if a lot of folks do that, so it's a good thing to experiment with. You’re welcome!

It was nothing special, but I'm not really attached to the one I have, either. I'd like to get something unusual and eye-catching for next time (either that, or black velvet to just fade into the background). I think I could benefit from tiers, too. I just don't do this often enough to really have it all figured out yet :-D For this, I just used the tablecloth they provided.

I am in the process of buying a new material cloth as I hate my gold and black ones they are so old fashioned. I like the thought of hessian if I can find some. I have a 1.5 m width escalier rising up 4 steps....I'm going to have a go with this and see what it looks like at my next big event. Because I work with gemstones & polymer I like to arrange things according to colour and not material. This way an orange necklace in polymer acn be show cased next to carnelian and so on! See what Lunes has been blogging about: <a href='http://bijouxandbanter.wordpress.com/2008/04/12/polymergemstones/' rel="nofollow">Polymer or semi-precious gemstones?

It's always fun to watch people look at things and get the different reactions. Yes, some definitely did. It’s always fun to watch people look at things and get the different reactions.

I got those busts at Fire Mountain Gems, I think... I like shopping by color, too. I have my own personal palette, pretty much, and I always know that I'm going to be looking for something greenish. I'm still not sure what the best way to set up the table is, but I'm going to stick with this new way next time and see how it does. Thanks! I got those busts at Fire Mountain Gems, I think…

Yes, it's always nice when I end up making enough that all of the lugging feels worthwhile. Thanks! Yes, it’s always nice when I end up making enough that all of the lugging feels worthwhile.

I love the necklace busts - where did you find them? Glad you had such success! I think I prefer shopping by colour; the last bead show I was at in March had several tables set up like that. There was a particular display where I think I bought more because they were laid out by colour and I could find exactly what I wanted - I told them as much, too. =) Also, I think that too much choice is particularly overwhelming - especially if a lot of folks do that. The 'sparer' tables seem to get more traffic because it's easier to see what they have. Your display is wonderful, Lisa! I love the necklace busts – where did you find them?
