Choosing Displays for a Fair - Cranberry, Cookware, Stoneware & Trifle Bowl

[kcjodih]

do you use for your displays at a fair? The beige PC one? A white one? I'm displaying the cranberry, cookware, stoneware and trifle bowl and don't know what to use.

Do you know if your table will be skirted? If it will, what color?? I would definately bring the beige one, but I've also gotten 1 black & 1 white flat sheet at Walmart (REALLY cheap!! They don't have to be great quality!) So as long as your table is covered, it looks MUCH better! It depends what look you're going for~cooking show or display table?? Do you have a lot of the cranberry linens?? I would definately use those as much as you can, draping them over the sides, setting a placemat (maybe where people fill out the door prize drawing), that sort of thing~they look so nice displayed!! HTH

When I first started, I used the plastic PC tablecloth, I had 2.

I didn't really care for those so over time I bought inexpensive solid colored cloth tableclothes at yard sales. I now have several in three colors: 1) white; 2) beige and 3) cranberry/maroon.

So...I can kind of change it up when I need to for seasons. Also, have a variety of sizes allows me to have flexibilty if I'm using several sizes of tables.

I went to Walmart and bought a cranberry cloth one for $5! I lay that down with my beige PC one w/the cranberry lettering. They look great together.

I also bought a vinal one with apples on it for my apple theme shows this fall...

I have a beautiful Beige tablecloth I bought for $10 at Target 2 years ago. They still have it and it is great for weddings and christmas. It goes all the way to the floor. I am going to put my PC sign in front from Merrill with safety pins and then deco with Xmas swag. It is always fun to decorate.

Ditto on the Walmart flat sheet. I just bought one yesterday for a booth that I had today...$5.84 for a full black flat sheet!! I threw it in the dryer (allergic to ironing) and it looked great on my table!!!

I have used the PC tablecloths in the past but with all the cranberry I now use a white tablecloth and accent it with the cranberry.

Last summer I used the patriotic tablecloth (it was in the outlet).

Do you all use the sheets/tablecloths along with the skirt? I am doing a Bridal fair and the table comes with a white skirt and I was going to use the cranberry towels as decoration. Does this sound ok?
