a new look

thought i’d post a picture of how the booth looks now. have made some significant changes – for the better, i think. first, i changed the drape color. have been considering this for at least a couple years. thought i’d go the ‘cheap’ way again, and see if i could find black sheets and make them into drapes. then, i realized that to order them from the same place where i bought the poles was nearly a ‘no brainer’. i mean, 4’x8′ panels, with a sleeve on each end, pre-fire proofed – for just $15 each. my time way more valuable than that! ^_^

and then there is the rack. copied my friend kieth’s idea (from blue petunia). didn’t turn out exactly as planned – in terms of how it fits into the van, etc. however, am liking it functionally. cuts way down on setup time. in fact, i am determined to build another, slightly different, for the mini’s. those are another significant time-hog for both setup and take down! how do the new racks save time, you ask – they travel pre-loaded!! ^_^ so, here’s a couple pictures of the ‘new look’.
