Does it come apart or do you have to round up a herd of people to carry it in? lol I really like how you used glasses to hold up the shelf. Jim

Thank you all for your positive comments and kind words.

As for labels, have a hard time putting things out that I don't identify. I know I love browsing through displays at the shows and trying to find things I haven't seen. I figure I might as well do the same.

Jim,

The case I borrow from my local club. The interior is butcher paper wrapped around cardboard and taped in place. One day I will set up an permanent backing, but right now I find it easier to custom build the backdrop each show (4 or so a year). It takes me about 10-15 minutes per case
Thanks for the comment on the glass. The shelf is from an Ikea book shelf I no longer am using and the glasses are glass votives I picked up at Pier 1 or some such store. The idea came about right before one show when my previous cardboard - paper wrapped shelf got wet and I couldn't use it. In searching my garage in desperation, i saw my stack of unused glass shelves. presto! What's that saying? Necessity is the mother of invention?

Thanks for your interest,

Lowell
