A T-stand or half-mannequin or cake stand raises displays to yet another height…

Cup hooks on the inside of the table aprons that’ll display handbags, beads, scarves…

for-sale silk flower arrangements, or big baskets of flip-flops, nestled underneath.

Oh this would be so fun to use as the skeleton on which to build a fantastic swing shop each week!
