Whether you are selling at a vintage market, craft show, antique store booth, or yard sale, there are simple things you can do to increase sales and draw customers into your space.
Awhile back, I mentioned that I was going to be participating in a market to sell some of my handmade items. Then I had an idea to also hold a sale at my house the weekend before because I was not allowed to sell anything that wasn't handmade at the original market. I had all these farmhouse style pieces I had picked up in addition to all my vintage finds that I wanted to sell, so this seemed like the perfect plan. (I say that because I've since learned Fourth of July weekend in my town is not the time to do something like this. And don't even get me started about how you end up with no customers because two neighbors decide to have yard sales the same time and people don't follow the fancy black signs that you've created to their destination and end up at the yard sales instead of your own sale. I've accepted the setbacks and moved on!)

Last week, I was taking a look at many of the pins that I've been saving on Pinterest and saw a few patterns. One of them was the use of antlers in decorating. While I can't say that I actually would use this trend in my own space, they seem to be popping up in the styled rooms that I like. And I think the look may be growing on me.
On one hand, the thought of decorating with antlers reminds me of being in a man cave filled with someone's hunting trophies. Buck heads on the wall.....stuffed turkeys sitting on the floor....and dark wood paneled walls. Not my type of decor.
