Kate once again, out and about, coming across some cool ideas for resale and consignment shops.
This time, it was at a shop on AMI, which Florida-beach lovers will recognize as the initials of Anna Maria Island, and a long-time store, Mister Roberts Resortwear (just the name tells you how long this shop’s been in business…)
Here’s what I snapped a pic of: their screen-door earring display.
Well, yes, you’re thinking, but we’ve seen this before, Kate, so what’s the deal? The deal is: these earrings are not easily shoplifted. Look closer:
See? The earring cards aren’t hung on the screening… they’re attached via Swiftach loops to a wire, so snatch-and-grabbers will go home, thankfully, empty-pocketed.
Thanks to Mister Roberts Resortwear for allowing me to share this idea with you. If you’re on AMI, their address is 5330 Gulf Drive, Holmes Beach FL (no, they didn’t name he town after Auntie Kate LOL)

That’s a great idea, but what’s keeping sticky fingers from taking the earrings off the card and leaving the card attached to the screen?
So true, Dorothy… the only thing keeping someone from standing there, unhooking earrings from the cards, is attention from the shop staff (otherwise what’s to stop thieves from stealing the entire screen door? LOL) None of us can stop the dedicated thief. All we can do is make it as hard as possible to be preyed upon, and this is a way I had not seen before that I appreciated!
PS: if the ERs are French hooks, those annoying little silicon sleeves make it time consuming to detach ERS from card.
