I found the photo on Pinterest without attribution. If it’s your pretty, sunlit boutique, let me know!

Now, here’s what strikes me about this shop interior, that might help you with your consignment, resale or thrift shop:

    hi I work in a non-profit and we’re struggling with display ideas that are low cost yet fresh .. also we’re trying to generate donation dollars for refugees

      HI Charlotte, Low-cost window displays are fun! There’s looks here on my blog. Just click on the tags “display” and “merchandising” in the right hand column for lots of ideas, and there are over 500 pins on two of my TGtbT.com Pinterest Boards under “windows” and “decor”. And, of course, there’s one of our Products for the Professional Resaler called Window Displays Especially for Resale Shops which is our #3 best-seller. (#1 is of course the Complete Manual, and #2? Secrets of Successful Resalers! So glad you found us here on the Too Good to be Threw blog!
