Need a specialty fixture for your consignment, resale or thrift? Visit your local home decor/ furniture resalers first.
Not only will you find unique shop fittings, but you’ll be supporting your peers, recycling, and making a unique statement!
A brass bedspread/quilt holder becomes the perfect prop to display oblong scarves, and can be tucked anywhere:

Take a closer look at this photo: wicker headboard turned memorable and cheap store signage!
An assortment of side and accent tables, plus some bright paint, becomes a multi-use swing shop collection:
Small table lamps to cast light on (or in!) your showcases, quirky stools for dressing rooms, a baker’s rack to display shoes… once you start shopping your peers’ furniture stores, who knows what great ideas you’ll come up with? Here’s one I never thought of, but will be using:

Question- We are in the process of checking out supplies and prices. Does anyone have any advice on pricing guns and plastic tags…which ones are sturdy and “dependable”? Not sure if you can answer – maybe you can’t endorse any one brand. Thanks!

Since this is something you will use hundreds of times a day, I suggest the best, which for me was always Dennison, both the guns and the fasteners! Others may have other brands they like better.
Tip: Buy, and USE, replacement needles as needed… they last a long time, but DO need to be replaced every so often… you’ll know it’s time when it’s harder to zip through those racks of clothes (yes, the needles can be sharpened, but that’s WAY too finicky for me personally…)

Thanks for the good advice Kate…think I’ll be looking for the Dennison gun and fasteners.
