Today was the last day I could add things to my booth at the antique store before the Harvest Festival this weekend. The street will close tomorrow for vendors to move into the street and spaces along the railroad track at the end of the the shopping section. I moved in another bookshelf/shelf for displaying items since my Italian Tea Cart sold last week. I had the room to get it in there by moving a little bench seat up front and facing out. I added some new things today and moved things around to look different for those that have visited recently. I am pleased with this way this has all come together! Now I'm ready to get some decorating done for Christmas!! Pic: Of one wall in the booth.

@LadyDuck Speaking of store windows, I wish I had snapped a photo or two of the holiday windows at the antique store. They were awesome! I'll put that on my list for coming week!

@kareng It is important, I like to look at store windows where they refresh the window every week.

This festival gets a lot of publicity. I'm hoping for a couple of sales this weekend! I am hoping that the hope chest I have in there finds a new home. But then I will need to fill that space. LOL! I have another table that needs to be sanded and refinished. I need to get on that very soon!!

@Marilynda1225 I picked that hope chest up at auction along with an old trunk (which may be it's replacement when it sells). Nobody bid on either piece and they were grouped together after that and sold for less then $20 for both!! I love deals like that! The hope chest was marked down for the Festival!

@JudyEv Thanks, Judy! I've been swapping things around over and over to see what looks best. I add a new piece of furniture or shelving and it makes moving things necessary for best look.

@kareng In my house, I swap my ornaments around from time to time. Just having them in different spots makes me notice them more.

I have been enjoying moving things around and making it all look different each week to look fresh for repeat customers. I may have missed my mark on decorating career!

It has been fun so far. And I think a good fit. I can see me doing this long term! I like this store much better than the one I was in years ago.
