Photos of Yesterday's Work

When I retired, I thought I'd be canning, writing and mostly staying at home. Instead, I got into the antiques and collectibles business. I didn't do it on purpose; it just grew on its own accord and I must admit, I am thoroughly enjoying myself.

An example of how this business has grown is the space I rented just this weekend. My booths are full and I needed a place to display some of the better glassware I want to sell. As it happened there was a display case available very near my booth in Marietta. I rented it and then set about filling it up. Here are a few photos of the result. You can click on any photo to make them larger so you can see better.

 

It's not a large space but it has good visibility. This photo shows the whole display case but not all of what's in it due to the lighting glare.

 

I used the top of the cae to display a few pieces, especially the red glass that caught the light well.

 

 

Here is a better shot of the interior of the case, showing the lower 3 shelves.

 

 

While ig might seem like an easy thing to fill a few shelves with glassware, it really takes time. You want the layout to be inviting and to show each piece to full advantage; you want balance and space between things so they can be seen. I moved things from one place to another trying to achieve just what I wanted. Was it worth the trouble? I won't know until I see if thngs sell.

 

Of course, I have to share this photo of a traffic jam we encountered yesterday:
