Last year,
for six months I had a spot at a pop-up indoor market place where I offered my
handmades of course, but added curb found second hand and vintage to my table to
help cover the costs. Especially in the beginning when we didn’t have a reputation
yet that was necessary.
Looking for
something to display my crochet cuffs on, Patrick, a fellow vendor gladly lent
me his doll’s arms that I saw sticking out of an old bucket in his corner.
As he
wanted to keep his bucket, my black oval terra cotta vase turned out to be a
perfect replacement as a base.
One day I
was happily surprised as I walked in and found the arty owner of the shop had
picked up my display and placed it on a table in the middle of the entrance
room. First thing the visitors set their eyes on!
When we all
packed up in December Patrick was so kind to leave me his arms. I know he found
them in the trash anyway, but as he then showed interest in my collectables
guide of course that was my return present to him.
The vase
never sold so now the display serves as a fun decoration in my home reminding
me of all the sweet people I met at the project and the great time I had. Apart
from that I use the arms every now and then as a photo prop for my Etsy shop.
