Jeweled Horizons will have a booth at the Maine Boat, Home and Harbor Show this weekend in Rockland, Maine. This is a huge show, with several tents, and exhibits going on. Thousands of visitors are expected. In order to be ready I have to plan carefully what I will take, and what the booth will look like. This time I am going to try something new . Usually I set the necklaces out on the table, grouped by color; sometimes by price. This time I am going to have several "necks" out, and will stack several pieces on each one. Then the extras will be piled up in trays. Potential customers will have to lift them up to separate them and decide what they like. The display will be (hopefully) eye catching, and (certainly) a bit chaotic. The idea will be to create a booth that is clearly foreign and exotic because the jewelry I design is like that. It appeals to those who have traveled, or who have a taste for ethnic and collectible pieces. I anticipate that people will either pass it quickly, or come and spend some time. I will take some furniture, maybe a carpet , certainly a background screen, to add some atmosphere. I have several baskets and a check list so that I don't forget something important. Inevitably I will forget something; hopefully it will be minor.
Oh! Which reminds me:: The car is packed, but I almost forgot to include the mirror, which , for a jewelry booth, is not minor.
