July flew by in a blur of sunshine, sweat, and booth hustle. I thought I’d share a little behind-the-scenes peek into What I Took to My 3 Booths and How I Styled It.

This month, I tested out a few different themes along with all of my tried and true items. Those themes were:
Summer Travel and Leisure:
For this look I took in vintage mini souvenir plates and hung them on the wall. They were so fun and festive and sold almost immediately. I also took in croquet mallets and tennis rackets which were also hung on the wall and sold very quickly.
Nautical:
Since July is at the height of Summer, nautical is a perfect theme. I took in homemade sailboats made with local driftwood, shells, nautical themed artwork with sailboats and lighthouses.
Fruit and Vegetables:
I found some cute strawberry mugs that inspired the fruit and veggie theme. I found a few strawberry prints, made fruit and vegetable signs. I also framed a few vintage flour sacks as well.
I also added a little cubby to put in this tiny little alleyway of one of my booths. It was the perfect width for such a narrow space and gave me a bunch of cubbies to feel with stuff!
School Supplies and Game Pieces:
School starts pretty early here in TN so adding a little bit of vintage school supplies to my booth was a given. I also added in a bunch of game boards and pieces in jars.
Clothing:
In my clothing booth, I added a new garment rack (similar here). It has 2 bars and 5 other sections on it. I was able to add a bunch of clothing and bags.
Since I had more hanging space, I was able to use my other rack for Tshirts. I used to have the Tshirts folded up on a table but they were so hard to look through and keep neat. So having them hang makes them so much easier to see.
As a nod to school starting, I placed Tshirts from local colleges on the shirt displays at the front of my booth.
Accessories:
I added a bunch more handbags and wallets. I used a rack like this to display the wallets. I have a giant roll of paper in my booth to stuff inside the handbags to keep them standing up and displayed nicely.
I also added a bunch of jewelry with bracelets held by a bracelet display (similar to this) scarves and sunglasses.
All in all, my Antique Booths in July were a win — a little bit of planning, a lot of learning, and just enough surprises to keep things interesting. Can’t wait to see what August brings.
Got any questions about booth setup, display tricks, or what it's like working markets in this heat? Drop me a comment!
