Revisiting the 6th Ave Street Fair

Last weekend Ivy Haus Designs was at it's first ever street fair!!!  

That's right, little old me schlepped a huge suitcase, insanely heavy folding table, a tent, and my potted ivy plant (the new mascot of IHD) to the corner of 6th Ave and 27th Street where I sold my jewelry from 11-6.  The weather was nice, but I was in the shade most of the day, where it was much chillier than across the street where they enjoyed hours of sunshine.  I danced in place for hours and sold a few pieces.  All in all it wasn't bad for my first street fair.  As promised, here are some pix!

That's me under my tent.  We need to figure out a way to make the legs longer and weigh that bad boy down.  It almost blew away a few times!

Here is what the table set up looks like.  I think it looks great!  Not only do I have a bunch of great vintage jewelry, but most of my display items are vintage too.  I started with these awesome vintage serve-a-trays from the 40s.  They have ivy vines on them!  Obviously I had to buy them.  

Then I found this great vintage Syroco mirror from the same era.  I found it on Etsy, here is the shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/DenimRoseVintage. She has a ton of cool stuff I covet.

I also found this awesome antique spoon bent into a business card holder, my cards look so cool in it!  Here is where I found that: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtisticWood.  

I have a cute green glass bowl on the table that holds vintage studs I find in and around the city.  That belonged to my late Grandma Toni and I am so happy to have it with me when I sell, because I feel like she is there in spirit cheering me on :-).  

To round out the display I have my new little ivy plant that I rescued from Lowes.  It adds just the right finishing touch, don't you think!?

Here is a close up pic of the business card holder.  So cool, right!?

...and a close up of the trays and some of my jewelry.

I'm sure this was just the first of many street fairs that I will sell at this spring and summer.  In fact, were it not cold, windy, and rainy outside I would probably be selling at a fair as we speak...but...april showers bring may flowers!  Stay tuned.
