The number one ingredient that can make or break your showing is your own energy. People are drawn to positive vibes, and repealed by negative ones. Love your vibe Von.💗👍
This is exactly what I needed to see and hearing you talk about thieves is perfect. That is why I have not done any shows. I have real gemstones and they would walk away to easy. You are so creative with everything. Thank you. And I love your teaching skills as well as your personality. Good luck to another artist that loves what we do. Debby

I’m getting ready for my first show. Well, I was actually ready when covid hit, I made a huge decision to do what I loved and I rearranged my life to hit the road and bounce from festival to festival and I jumped in with both feet. So, My fee for my 1st show was returned to me when covid hit and shut everything down. Now, For some reason my confidence isn’t where it was when I booked that show 3 years ago. I’m still super excited about it and ready to have some fun. I’ve just had 3 years to think about it. Now I’m nervous Lol. Your displays are definitely how I visioned it and now I have everything figured out for me. Lol. Down to the masking tape! Love it!! Thank you thank you. I want my booth to be unique and as classy as possible and sister you’re the best I’ve seen. I’m definitely stealing these ideas. I watch your videos all the time! You make everything look so easy and you’re not afraid to show that you’re human. That helps me so much. So, You are definitely going with me on this journey so buckle up! Let’s see where this goes!! Thanks so very much
Yvonne, the very first video of yours I watched was the Dragon Eye tutorial you did using nail polish I believe it was. Fascinating by the way. Absolutely enjoy your art, your beautiful way of sharing how to or not to do things, but mostly the love of art and the coolest outlook on the way to be successful not only in business but life. This great grandma holds you in high regard dear Young One. Thank you and be always blessed!✌️💞💡🙏👏👏👏🙃
🙏🏼💎Thankyou Vonny that was sooo very interesting ! 🥰 l used to do market stalls in London in the 1980- 90s selling my handmade jewellery 💍 and pottery, it was such hard work ( and sometimes awful days with terrible sales 😢 )so I really appreciate all your endeavours,👏🏼👏🏼 you are such a beautiful girl and kind soul sharing your skills here for other crafters, a fabulous display of your amazing jewellery and ideas 📿✨🦋 💖💫🇬🇧✌🏻
You don't know how much I needed this! I've been searching RU-vid for ideas to help with displaying my creations in a successful way. Granted it takes time. But so so long I did a single layer table display that just was not grabbing attention. (Yesterday for example, I have so many items I really needed 6 takes to display, table level). It is something I am slowly working on which is difficult on a disability budget, but so many of your display ideas are show stopper ideas. Love how you use the wire shelving. And the Velcro! You are the Velcro queen! I love it! I ruined so many displays using glue. I don't have wood to make the riser feet for the trays but I do have foam core boards, and craft sticks. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now to show my hubby!
wow yvonne what a impressive set up everything looks beautiful and your wise words were very positive and so true, who made you so wise ??? I could listen to you for hours you are such a positive sweet gentle soul who find the best in every situations and that is so refreshing as most people these days are gloomy and downhearted where as your always so happy and upbeat so thanks for being you and sharing you amazing joy and love of everything you do and life in general xxx
Hey Von! As a customer, I appreciate your elevated displays and your ample inventory with breathing space. Your booth looks beautiful - love your leather single & multi-necklace displays. Love your ingenuity - tray riser feet made from scrap wood. And your tips & tricks, words of wisdom & pep talk, and generous creative soul are all priceless gifts (even for us non-vendor folk :) Thank you!
One option you might consider for power, is a portable power generator, such as the Jackery. That was the first thing that came to my mind as you were talking about lighting, even before you started talking about power.
Gorgeous jewellery I adore your work,and your set up is so cool,thank you so much for all the help and inspiration you give to us all. I'm still a beginner and your so sweet and kind to share your expertise on how to make your setup harder for thiefs . From the bottom of my heart a huge thank you ❤️😘
you have grown so much, looks wonderful, You two do a wonderful job both creating and displaying. I now sell rocks and having a hard time with displays, Im gonna copy some of your ideas
Thank you Von, You are very helpful. The amount of information, tips, tricks, shortcuts, etc, is overwhelming and frankly invaluable. I feel like I am enrolled in the YTU [ youtube university] You have taught me SO much. I will try to send a picture of my first wire wrapped piece....gave it to a friend, so I will ask her to let me take a pic to send. Keep being awesome.
Haven't put myself out there yet, but gained many good tips and advise from you and some others. This video was really comprehensive and very engaging. I thank you for sharing your expertise in marketing, displaying and so many great tips. I can totally relate to the comment if one were financially set but wanting to continue creating. I am sure if I could not create I'd surely go mad. For the artist it is our lifeblood.
Impressive, as always. I'm finally getting to the "how to I display my work?" stage. Yea! But then, how do I display my work? This is very helpful. Lots of great tips and advice and ideas!
I love your positiveness! I am just making jewelry for myself, family, and friends right now. Lot of things to take into consideration if I want to sell jewelry in the future. You have covered everything. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great video Von. I learnt a lot from this. I love the little feet that you made to elevate the back of some of the displays. I absolutely love the black felt or foam board in the middle of the earring rack. Love, love that one and overall some really great information on lighting, organizing, things to keep an eye out on ie.. how to make things more visual from the back of your booth. I just overall think this is a great video, probably one of the best believe it or not. Thank you for sharing that very valuable informationu.🙏👍
Von, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I can't tell you Thank you enough for sharing this information. I have done 5 or so shows and then the pandemic. I do have displays, but I love your wire "boxes", and putting the black inside your earring display - game changer! Love the way you clip your boards up so you can get to them easily from the back side. Just amazing. I hope to get out and do some shows this year. I am working on inventory and honestly trying to figure out what I like to make. I love your work and keep on keeping on. Thank you!
I am so impressed with your set up. It amazes me how much work you and Randy did to make all the jewelry. It's beautiful! I remember a majority of what you guys made during the live streams and tutorials. So amazed! Thanks for sharing!
This was so informative. How you explain the why and how you display your inventory, to make it less likely for theft. I so appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge. It is so amazing what Strong Work the both of you with your team do.
Oh Von, what impeccable timing! My Mom's (not "her" association, but just the one she belongs to, LOL) art association has given me permission to put a display of earrings and bracelets in my Mom's booth, and I've been racking my brain trying to decide how to set it up. This has given me some great ideas--thank you, and I hope Randy's wrists are doing much better now! Love this!
Fabric Tac glue would hold the velcro to the wood. I used it to even glue wood pieces together and it held really well. The glue is super sticky and sets quickly. Fabric Tac is not just for fabric.
I'm amazed how talented Von is. She knows everything, every detail is covered. And she is a very nice person. I love watching Von, I also watch Vonster vlog. I hope you got a very good sale! Greetings from Holland.
Yvonne Have you thought about painting your lights? I taped off the light source part and painted mine with Grill Paint yes like charcoal grill paint it lasts much long AND you can pray the cords too :) I am so grateful to you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us newbies. Do you think you will ever do a video on how to find shows? How early do you get to your show? Let's say the show is two hours away and starts at 10am Loves from Muskogee Okla!!!
Thanks Yvonne for this video it is extremely helpful in this aspect of business. You are a very good business women and extremely talented also very entrepreneurial
I am so grateful you do videos like this. I have received so much inspiration from you! In fact I discover the awesomeness that are grid panels from your videos! I am still a novice at all this and I really appreciate all your wisdom on things. Oh while I am thinking about it do you put backs on your displayed earrings or do you add them after they are purchased?
I really like the black background in the round earing stands. It really makes the earrings pop. Thank you for this video. While I have done a lot of shows I still learned so much from you. I have so many questions. I have had a lot of people say I should have my jewelry mounted on cards. I am not sure if I like that or not. It reduces your display space significantly but it does look professional. Also how does the leather stand up to weather in out door events? I like the look of it but am concerned about how it would survive moisture and or heat.
Have you ever used Electrical wire to make Jewelry and what kind of stuff do we need to buy to make it change color ?. Cant we anneal the wire ? Is electrical wire a good wire to practice with? Did you buy Chainmail Joe - Complete Chainmail Tutorial / It looks like a great book . sorry for so many questions . I would like to try and use Electrical wire to make Jewelry But from what other people have said it is not a good wire to use But I have some on hand .
Wow, that's an impressive setup. Would be interested to know how you deal with the wind blowing when/ if you sell outdoors. It has been one of the very worst things to tackle when my market stall pitch is outside.
I know for tablecloths, restaurants use weights on the ends of tablecloths so they don't fly off in the wind. on the cone-shaped necklace displays, you can glue a weight inside (same for blacetes displays like hers) or attach a clip to the grid like she did. Now about the rings displays I don't know how to make them not fly, unless the pieces are rings with heavy stones in them, then they won't fly. xD
Getting some grids right now! haha- they're so versatile! As Silver asked- would like to know some of the ways you deal with wind. Had to leave a show after losing my tent and fearing losing my inventory next (I make jewelry using them tiny seed beads- it's stupidly light!). Would like to find a way to prevent this happening again. Have some ideas with using the Grids and magnets- but wondering what all you have tried effectively: )- Thanks so much for all you do and share with us
