I'm really into aesthetics and setting the mood, and when people point out that something distracts from the art, I'm usually the one to not see what they mean because I think all the display elements add to the charm!Holly Knotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168530002496375150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763145975710020509.post-30140738633504579582010-04-04T23:31:54.606-04:002010-04-04T23:31:54.606-04:00I love the cages!

These cages are so light and sweet, i think they may make a fun addition to your booth- especially in the spring and summer months. i would only do it though, if you were going to have them displayed in your usual fashion as well, which is very striking.... (then again, my booth, display, work is such a crazy jumble that perhaps listening to me is just silly!)charityhttp://chARiTyelise.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763145975710020509.post-52773714093619589712010-03-28T08:46:54.708-04:002010-03-28T08:46:54.708-04:00I'm jumping on the bandwagon...the cages are g...I'm jumping on the bandwagon...the cages are great--they fit your style and would be great attention-getters.

In this case, maybe present some on the cages and have your collection on cards as well.<br />The cages are certainly eye catchers and will probably draw many people to look at the earrings (and some will want to buy the cages...).stregatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573668708723922929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763145975710020509.post-25593710163058300162010-03-27T01:06:45.046-04:002010-03-27T01:06:45.046-04:00I love the cages and started with something like t...I love the cages and started with something like that myself but found the background too busy to really focus on the earrings.

I think this is a nice look for your summer shows. Although, I love your usual displays and they look very professional, to me this looks more casual and approachable. I think I would tend to be drawn to this too. Working in a retail store, this is what I've experienced, also. Customers tend to buy more of the items that they can touch, pick up and connect with and less of the items that seem less approachable, like in a case or tacked down in some way or other. Especially with earrings. I've also noticed that a lot of customers like to pick out more than one pair that they like and put them next to each other to compare them to decide which ones they want to purchase, too.Erin Siegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363556155704677633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763145975710020509.post-17284352562427909732010-03-26T16:51:18.889-04:002010-03-26T16:51:18.889-04:00i agree with both of the things you said...
