One of the things I did do also, was to reinforce my long narrow basket to make it stronger. It was getting weak from constant use. This the basket I use for the overflow of baby hat stock, that I place on the floor for customers to browse through. We also cut off one of the baby hat spindles from our hat stand and now it is independant. I have one small baby hat on it now. For photos reasons it was in the baby hat basket. But I did eventually decide to display it on the table with our business cards. Just another tweak! Our baby hat stand now has "6" spots rather than the previous 7, that is placed over head of the Sock display rack. Tweaked there too to make a smaller space, when the wire rungs of the rack will now be higher and closer together. Tweak, Tweak, Tweak!
In the tweaking process, I also added more sock pair selections to each row of sizes as these steel clothespins allow for more items to fill the rows. I also got creative and dug out my nail polish colours and painted the little dots in the clothespins centers, to correspond with the colours of yarn we use to match all the sizes. For example in the previous post we might have noticed the center was Aqua, and that is the colour that represents Women's size 5.
And, because we were able to add more socks to the rack in general, I was able to retweak the other space for our market table and use it more effectively. I changed things around and displayed certain items differently. All and all I/we think the improvements look good ,and that all changes physcially adjusted to the rack will help to make our step-up be more sturdy also. Sturdy is a giant key now that the rack is holding more weight with heavier clothespins and more sock pairs too. I did a dry-run set-up today, so that, with so many changes, I knew exactly what was where, and what the total out come would look like. Looks grand, so onto to the next project!
