Hey.. glad everyone likes them. The dackdrop was from another booth. It was outdoor lattice work that her DH screwed together. She hangs pumpkin/Christmas signs on the lattice work. She just snapped her fingers and her DH took down the latticework. Each section was at least 8' long and was in the shape of a U. I was actually waiting for her to show up so I could get permission to hang my PC banner on her lattice.. which of course she said yes. ( hence the cardboard tube on the table lol )

1) where did I get the crates... Michaels.. an arts and craft store in Texas. It is unfinished wooden crates. They cost $10.00 each.. but I save coupons and get 40% off for $6.00 each. (no tacky questions here!!) I then get a stain/finish and paint them. I can contact them to find out who makes them if anyone is interested..

2) I fill them with goodies to tote.. they have great handles on each side. Then re-load them to take home.

3) I also learned that you only do one link to photobucket.. and can see all the pics there.. Gotta love the learning process.. lol

I really do like that backdrop lattice work. It probably woudn't be hard to put a few up for decoration. She just had hers set up to hang things on.
 
Thanks for sharing. I will have to incorporate this into my next booth set-up.
 
YOu can also get those crates at ACMoore and JoAnn Fabrics (or most craft stores with unfinished wood products). I just got a couple at Joann's (going on sale next week for 2 for $12). You can usually find AC Moore coupons too- for 40-50%, in SUnday or mid-week papers or ads. If not, then sign up for their e-newsletter and you'll get them mailed to you each week.
 
I used the idea on Tuesday. I had an 8-ft table and these really helped! It was for a table at an Administrative Professionals Vendor Showcase & Dinner. The crates worked great! I am not sure where my DD got them but like you said, the handles help carry stuff!

Great!! I have a few craft shows the next few weeks.. So I am packing them up again.
 
Ginger,

Thanks for the great pictures! I am doing my first booth in a few weeks and boy am I glad I saw your terrific set-up.

Can anyone tell me if they have some sort of extra Pampered Chef tablecloth or sign they wouldn't mind selling me?

Thanks,
Mindy
 
bumping! right thread this time!!!
 
My friend and I recently did a booth and used the same crates from Michaels. It really adds something to the display and they can be decorated in holiday themes. Here's a couple of pics of our booth.

Have you got "pop-ups blocked" or anything? I just clicked on them to be sure and I can still get there. Use the link at the top of page 2. It worked fine!

I love the crates for my booths!

It looks like it worked. Click on the link.. it will open up pictures. There are arrows on the right that will navigate between 6 or so pictures. Hope that helps.
 
I love this idea, and not just for booths, but for shows too! I think I might buy a couple of them.

My first show was a disaster for space, alls I had to work with was a 4' card table, if they are even that big. When she told me she had tables to use, I was expecting more. I think in the future, I'll be more specific as to what kind of tables and how many I'll get. I had to set up my display on the floor around the folding table, then had to keep her 1yo out of my stuff until his sitter got there to pick him up!
