i found a bunch of really nice displays for stores that are much cheaper than my original plan, they're unfinished wood that i'm going to condition. i also found a carrying case for my stuff that's a lot cheaper and safer than my original plan of a travel jewelry case.
anyway i have basically everything figured out but decided to splurge on one aspect of the presentation: i am going to get custom little aprons for me and my assistant. (my assistant is usually my husband but occasionally my dad, but generally only one of them at a time)
