Post Love Vintage

Bleecker Street Vintage pop-up pre-show

The week prior and weekend of Love Vintage was VERY busy! Thanks to family & friends, everything came together and was finished just in time for the opening.

Visual merchandising is my favourite part of pop-up shops, so for the past few weeks I had been mentally designing my store & collecting the necessary props for it. The idea was to have picture frames in various sizes, then within the frames place product. I wasn't able to source enough frames, so I made to with what was available.

Above is how the space appeared just prior to the opening of Love Vintage on Friday night. It could have looked a little better, but I was stuck for time. The space needed to look inviting & spacious. If you look carefully you'll see a frock draped over a rack. Which is a tell tale sign I was still making changes up till the last minute!

For some reason, blogger decided to stretch this photo.

Packing up can be the worst part, depending on how well the show went as usually there is less to put in the car, but sometimes it can be almost the same. I was lucky to have family come along, so it only took one trip. For my friend Catherine it may have been three trips, but she had a much larger space.

A few more photos have been posted on the Bleecker Street Facebook page & I am yet to post a video I took of some swing dancing that opened the show on the blog, so check back later this week for that.
