Hi Leigh- I agree with the folks that rec adding height to your display-it's

more eye catching than flat on tables. Some people use baskets, some stay

with a clean, contemporary look, others use bath room fixtures....just check a

lot of displays and see what appeals to you. I buy a lot of my displays at

places like Marshall's, TJ Maxx, etc.

I think that you could develop an Adirondack theme display, to go with your

name-maybe using adirondack furniture style shelves (rough birch or beech), or

little adirondack chairs to put soaps on. I saw a beautiful display in

Speculator at a shop that Sunfeather has their soap in-a gorgeous stand with her

cutter built in. Just let your creative juices flow....

As for layout-I've been using just the straight across tables that I stand

behind, but would like to try other configurations when I have time to think

about it! I also tend to think of what will be easier to transport. I got some

great styrofoam boxes at Wegmans-they receive fruit in them-and I can stack

them on a pull cart and easily move a lot of soapy stuff, then store them under

my tables.

Let us know what you come up with! And congrats on growing your business so

quickly-sounds like you are doing so well!!!
