Displays... Cookbooks, an Owl and Oriental...

Just sharing some of the displays I put together from donated goods

 at the thrift shop this week.  These are on top of dress racks - 

so pardon the lack of back drop, etc.  Interestingly - the one that

 photographs the best - I did not like as well in real life.  

And that would be this one...

I love to use books to give height.  And anywhere I can throw in

 some vintage - I do!  So the vintage bowl is on some contemporary cookbooks.  

Since the spines are all in the same color scheme that coordinates 

with the remainder of the grouping - they work!

Below was my favorite 'real life' display... but it falls a little flat 

when photographed I think.  Perhaps it needs something spilling

 out of that awesome vase.   At any rate - it's essentially gray, black and aqua.  

Love it!  Any guesses as to what the first thing was that sold 

out of this grouping?

And a 3rd display from the week has an oriental flavor.  The 

 chest or box was my starting point and I tried to find things

 to go with it.... not an easy task in this Pa dutch area.

Now back to my question... 

did you guess what sold first out of this display?  

Did you guess the owl?

Nope - not the owl (although everybody loved him!) 

Can you see what's missing in this photo?  Its the long pillow 

that was behind the sign.  It lasted only an hour or so once in the

 display - although had been in the store for sale for 2 days!

Gotta love playing with other people's stuff!   ~Joyce
