If we’re real lucky,
(and if we are talented consignment, resale, thrift shopkeepers as well) we always have more great stuff to show customers than we have space. It’s tempting, sometimes, to knock out a wall or two, but here’s an easier solution which, after some minor rod installation,
you can do in under five minutes.
Case in point:
Bulky things,that really, are kind of specialty items (in that you’re either in the market for nursery bedding or you’re not), can go up high. Here, Lovely Lady Bugs adds color and style to what would otherwise be a blank wall over the double-hung clothes.
Sure, she has to keep a step-stool handy, but a couple of climbs up before an ensemble sells is definitely worth the space saved and pizzazz added!
Since you’re a talented, sagacious and observant consignment, resale, or thrift shopkeeper, I know you’ve already clicked on the photo to see it larger and noticed that Terri also has not only glass shelving above the top rack of clothes, but in between the racks as well… so every time there’s a bit of head room available (like the lower right of this photo) she has some room for little sneakers, a basket of bows, a rolled-up-in-a-ribbon bundle of receiving blankets. Here’s another shop’s in between shelf:

You’re right Patty, it is Emily’s… and isn’t it amazing, how something so simple would truly “fix” a shop in our minds? I remember, from another bus tour, the vivid red shoe section, because the owner told me pale walls made the shoes look used and dark walls ate up all the light. Such SIMPLE bits really make the difference… like YOUR shop’s front-lawn bicycle I remember from photos.
I think the second picture was taken at Emily’s Closet in Atlanta. I remember admiring those double racks on the Narts shopping trip. I also remember Laurie clapping when all the buses arrived. Cute store.
