Mint

Since Brendan designed the Durham Rock & Shop poster last week (super last minute), we were offered an also super last minute free booth at the market. Did I mention it’s this Saturday? At first we turned it down, but the more we thought about it, the more we thought “why not?” We’re both deadline-driven people, so we thought it would be a chance to finish some projects, get some market experience under our belts, and experiment with booth displays. Our goal is to have a good-looking, stocked table at the Raleigh Rock & Shop market in December, so this seemed like the perfect test run.

Needless to say, we’ve been busy since making that decision on Sunday! Brendan finished a few new note card designs, I started prepping for a gocco project I’ve been meaning to finish, and combed through my photos to see if there was anything worth bringing to the market. I was surprised to find a bunch of things, like that top photo which was a polaroid I took in the Fall of ’07. The bottom photo is one I took in our yard last week when I was trying to do something creative that didn’t involve my computer. Hopefully by the time the December market rolls around I’ll have more Hello Tenfold stuff that’s not just for weddings, but this works for now. (OK, that’s not what I meant… I mean, I’m excited to have some photos for our booth in the meantime!)

Now that we’ve got a small selection of work, we’re trying to come up with booth display ideas. I’ve read this post a couple times, and today we’re headed out to some thrift stores to see what we can find. Wish us luck!
