Patty has a knack for arranging knick-knacks and other merchandise.
That’s Patty Hulce of The Wandering Wardrobe in Springville UT (click to visit!) Over the years, she’s shown us:
Adding a mirror and a lamp to any display makes everything sparkle.
Displays pop when you use an unusual piece, such as an embellished item or this cheery print.
If you're lucky enough to have a lawn, use it. Ditto with a sidewalk. Or just hang colorful flags. Make your passers-by smile, and fewer will pass you by.
Remember height: the vase. Remember the triangle: shoe, shoe, flowers. Remember to do something unexpected: turquoise and pumpkin, so MUCH more eye-catching and memorable than, say, black and red.
More height. Here, it's a for-sale home decor item, but you should have lots of risers ready to go, too. Cubes, covered boxes...heck, even a concrete block or bricks can work depending on your decor.
Make it festive, and give them ideas. Every holiday season I tell clients all the ways they can use punch bowls...and as a result, sell every one consigned!
Purple dressing room doors! Outfits on hooks on dressing room doors! Adorable hat... what more is there to say?
We had one of the best ever- as well as our own kids, we were joined by two of Alyx’s college friends who weren’t able to go home.
I hope you and your Kenny had a wonderful day in the Florida sunshine.
