I'm going to my first show soon. I embroidered a bunch of euro pillow shams. I'm taking my wire cube racks. You know, the ones that are wire squares and you build them into cubes with plastic corner connectors.

The shams can store inside the cubes and hang over the front of 4 cubes. Then I just lift the flap and there's my stock! Overstock and bags go in bottom cubes.

Woodlandmarketing.com has great displays also storesupplywholesale.com
These are the places I use to use when I needed displays when I traveled and did shows.

I do something similar. I got some 2 gal Ziploc bags and I blow them up with a straw and insert into the purses. That way I can use them over and over.

Thanks for more ideas. If I ever get it "right" I'll post some pictures.

Me too!

How much do you sell your purses and totes for? I know it will vary, but what to what for instance.
Thanks

go to www.quiltfrog.com and look up quilt stand. Carrie has made a quilt stand that can be broken down for transport if you don't glue it. It should do the trick for your purses too.

I made a bi-fold lattice one , when I did shows I cut 1x2 sq(no angles) to fit the lattice. I screwed them together using metal corner angles & stapled the lattice on, added 3 sets of hinges. Was good to go !

I actually have that rack that I bought at Joann's. That is what I used last weekend, but the purses only showed from the side for most of them. I do like how it folds up

Most of mine are in the $20-35 range. More if they have zippers. I usually cover costs and work for about $1/hr. I really enjoy making the bags and can't justify having so many for my own use, so I sell some.
