I never comment on people's channels but you are one of the most genuine, interesting, I love the relationship you have with your sister, your man, but most of all u have a great eye and your merchandising for your store is spot on
I’ve added a small amount of valentines into my space. I don’t invest a lot into “holidays” but rather do seasons, and special groupings of items that go together. I live in a small town and my space is on the square in an Antique store, quaint and lots of traffic! I refresh my space twice a week adding in more stock because sales are pretty remarkable. I’ve been doing this almost thirty years now and had several spaces in different areas. This one is my last one. I’ve stopped doing shows, but still like to go to them. Happy hunting!
@amandasmercantile Just found your channel, but I absolutely loved the whole outfit. Seeing clothes on mannequins is less overwhelming for me and is great for outfit ideas.
Oh Amanda your display is just to die for. It had me imagining an English woman (mannequin of clothes), leaving home (hounds tooth suitcase) on a train and placing the suitcase above her seat on the train and settling in with a good murder mystery book.
The valentine display was perfect. Very simple and not dime store nick nacks like booths I've seen. It's purposeful. Love you and your style. I have an antique vintage booth and I learn a lot from you, and you are entertaining too boot! Lol. I have my easter stuff out the second week of February. You know some customers might not come the week before a holiday. You want to snag them early I say.
I had a bar cart set up with a bunch of red and valentine leaning stuff and a bunch of heart shaped vintage trinket boxes scattered about. Very few ❤ things sold. I put a bunch of Easter Bunny things in last week and have already sold a bunch. My bar cart now is leaning into St.Patrick’s Day since we have a pretty high % Irishy customers. And my last name is Callahan so there’s that! 🍀Pulled all the remaining Christmas/ Winter decor and did a soft lean into spring. In general the other vendors in my area tend to lean into holidays without going full on Homegoods
Amanda! You are so talented with your staging! That checkered cardboard suitcase reminds me of what my mom had when she sold Princess House Crystal back in the 70s!
Beautiful! As for me, I similarly add a touch of Valentines. The mall where I have my booth (Queen of Hearts in Buford, Ga) does a Spring Fling in March so I invest more time in that. If you come back to Georgia, I invite you to visit us.
I heart your merchandising display episodes. You're so good and put so much thought into it. The small touches of red were all that was needed to say Valentine's Day.
Absolutely gorgeous, Amanda!! I love just the touches of Valentine's Day rather than a full blown display. I do the same in my booth so I don't have to pack it all away. As always, you inspire me!
I think it is the perfect touch. I put a small amount of Valentines in my booths. Spring, Gardening, Rabbits for late February. Great video Amanda!!!! 😊
Your videos and content are fantastic and so enjoyable! I don't under why your posts don't have more "thumbs up" and likes. I REALLY THINK you should start saying something like... "please give me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this video...." and see what happens. REALLY!!! Your posts are wonderful and I'd like to see you appreciated for all the effort!
Everything you did is fabulous (except for the manikin please I know you you could have done a trillion ideas better than that + I think all positive holidays should be celebrated! Because they are well duh “positive”
Yes, I am with you on just adding a few Valentine's Day items into my booth space - and doing this a little later than some of the other booth owners in my Antique mall. And now that Valentine's Day is past, we are bringing in Spring with blue and white , bunnies and garden themed items - oh and a massive amount of Fransiscan Desert Rose dishes and accessory pieces. Good video, Amanda - you are an incredible inspiration.
Absolutely beautiful!!! I especially like that confimation photo in the shadowbox frame! I have a photo of my grandmother like that, as well as several others that need to be framed and displayed in my home. I just can't decide which wall to use.
Love this “lean in” decor for V-Day. I adore the little memoriam for the poor Catholic girl. My parents never took or bought the pics the church sold after any of my sacraments. 😢😢😢. I guess we were poor or ignorant or both.
Just a thought, but you could get some tool (?spell) fabric and put a few candy kisses (chocolate) in each of those swans and wrap them in the tool with a little ribbon. Probably would sell for at least $5 each... a quick gift for a teacher, boss, or anyone really..???❤❤❤
Loved the small touches!! Great set! As always your content is awesome! I would have bought from auctions also. Good pieces are getting harder to find!!
5:36 I know exactly what you mean about testing lights, I had a strand explode one time and I’ve had a hard time with it ever since. Everything looks amazing! I wish I could have as much restrain as you with decorations for holidays but I have the “too much gene” on that lol Edit: one thing that sold well for me in my Valentine’s Day set up this year was Champaign flutes and coupes also wineglasses.
I think your display is spot on! You really have a great eye. I have a vintage clothing and accessories booth and I just pulled together a couple of red looks along with some books of poems, romantic albums, .....etc
It looks so great! I will say I am a planner and in my house I want to decorate for Valentine's by mid January so that I can leave it for the one month before Valentine's. I don't want to decorate for just 2 weeks. Same kind of thing for fall and the holidays. I've already purchased everything I'm going to use for Christmas before mid November so just something to keep in mind. I know I'm not the only one. ❤
love the videos (always). Details on the chandelier - age? Would it dim with the correct bulbs? I would love that over my bathtub - currently renovating and hunting for a light like that!
How about a red turtleneck on the mannequin and a black leather jacket? I think each time you move it to another part of the booth it should have one item changed or added. I think it looks stale just being moved around.
My wife and I are cleaning an antique ash tray and we want to clean the plastic “crystal “ pieces that the rod runs through. Instead of clear and clean. They are cloudy and a little MAYBE yellowed. We tried vinegar and baking soda. Do you have any suggestions?
Amanda, I love this display, you've given me so many ideas for my own booth display. Your videos are so fun to watch. You are so creative! I also love the letter A in the dish. Is that your business card? I would love to receive one or see it on your video. I look forward to seeing your next video!!! KAT
Once again, gorgeous display! I have a couple of metal, silver plated trays like the one you had hanging on the door. How did you get that to hang? ❤❤Thanks!
I absolutely love your booth! You are so talented and have an amazing eye for creating an enticing display. I would love to shop your booth! I live in CA so I’m trying to get my husband to take a long road trip! 😊
I do just a little vignette of Valentine's in my booth, just to add some touches, but not overpower it. Yours looks great! I love the decor, especially the large mirror & the chandelier..oh my word!! how I wish I had a place for that! Just stunning!
I love how everything is staged. You have the best ideas on putting stuff together. The only thing that might need to be tweaked is having the little stool hiding the picture of the girl and her flower crown. She is so special. Just don’t want her to be hid, but she may have sold already. Good eye finding her!❤️
You did a BEAUTIFUL job!!!!! Being a Long-time Booth Dealer, My Issue is that customers who are interested in buying your suitcases, will totally DESTROY your entire display.
I absolutely love how this came together. You are so talented. I definitely like to do a little Valentine's before jumping into spring/Easter. Well done. ❤
It was so great to see you a couple of weeks ago and your booth was beautiful. I always draw so much inspiration from your style. Eventhough, I use much brighter colors I love your ability to layer without overdoing it! Priceless❤❤❤
Love this Amanda! This is my first year into owning a vintage booth and I way over did it with seasonal things. I love the idea of just a small display and will lean into that going forward. ALTHOUGH, Christmas sells! And I was blown away away by my profits during Christmas. I might even start bringing it in before Halloween 😮! Loved spending time with you this afternoon. Can’t wait to do it again 😊.
The display is so classy and interesting... I love the subtle nod to valentines without it getting in anyway cringe. You really are a star at staging beautifully. Also loved the music and always good to see Mike and pups... like the haircut Mike :)
I never comment on people's channels but you are one of the most genuine, interesting, I love the relationship you have with your sister, your man, but most of all u have a great eye and your merchandising for your store is spot on
That's a great comment & a true sentiment shared by many fans !
Keep us posted on sales ❤️ I love watching your videos thanks!🇨🇦
Completely agree!
Love the display, jumpsuit & Mike's haircut. You two are fun to watch together! I really look forward to your videos & you never dissapoint.
Ditto!
That handmade valentine is so sweet!❤ Love how romantic your display is without being too on-the-nose.

OMG the music!! Love it!!!
Superb display! My absolute favorite kind of video that you make, because you're so dang good at the booth resets.
I wonder if some red on the mannequin's outfit would draw the eye up more !? A scarf or brooch? Just my thoughts.
Agreed! A red beret would have been 🤌🏼
@amandasmercantile Just found your channel, but I absolutely loved the whole outfit. Seeing clothes on mannequins is less overwhelming for me and is great for outfit ideas.
Yea you did valentine! Cute jumpsuit! Love the long mirror. That won't last long.
Sold Immediately 😂 thank you!
Oh Amanda your display is just to die for. It had me imagining an English woman (mannequin of clothes), leaving home (hounds tooth suitcase) on a train and placing the suitcase above her seat on the train and settling in with a good murder mystery book.
Yes! I love that 🥰
Sounds good , Toni ... we'll all buy a ticket & ride along w/ you .

If you get a bird cage stand, you can hang your chandeliers and lightning so you can show off it better. Love your dog, really cute.
Your booth always looks well done. ❤
Love Mikes haircut 💇🏼♂️
Nice hair cut Mike🎉. Love watching you Amanda🎉❤❤
An extra touch could be a gold heart locket on the mannequin! ❤
What is your 2024 trend predictions??? Would love to hear it!!!
Amanda! You are so talented with your staging! That checkered cardboard suitcase reminds me of what my mom had when she sold Princess House Crystal back in the 70s!
I believe that’s exactly what that suitcase is!
You are so good at displaying! Fantastic display. How did it do? Have you sold it all!?
Beautiful! As for me, I similarly add a touch of Valentines. The mall where I have my booth (Queen of Hearts in Buford, Ga) does a Spring Fling in March so I invest more time in that. If you come back to Georgia, I invite you to visit us.
I LOVE MIKE'S
HAIRCUT!!!!!!!
No candy wrapper????
I heart your merchandising display episodes. You're so good and put so much thought into it. The small touches of red were all that was needed to say Valentine's Day.
I love the "romantic" theme with a touch of hearts and Valentine items!! Loving this idea for seasonal tablescapes, thanks for going for it!
Absolutely gorgeous, Amanda!! I love just the touches of Valentine's Day rather than a full blown display. I do the same in my booth so I don't have to pack it all away. As always, you inspire me!
Add a red scarf or black velvet vest or perhaps a red vest to the display
Great job,love the display.Maybe some greenery,nothing fake but one or two house plants.
The swans are $1 a piece on a Amazon. They’re used for party favors. Your Valentine’s Day table looks great!!!
Looks Fantastic ❤️ I agree that the little bit of Valentines Day flair is enough & makes your life easier👍🏼
I'd find a way to hang the chandalier, and I love your pink jumpsuit
I think it is the perfect touch. I put a small amount of Valentines in my booths. Spring, Gardening, Rabbits for late February. Great video Amanda!!!! 😊
Look at you in that cute pink jumpsuit! Love your display! You are so good at vignettes!
Your the best 👌 love it dont ever stop 😅😅😅😅😅
I always enjoy watching your creativity! Now I want a jumpsuit…😊
That chandelier…❤️❤️❤️ and the valentines! Love seeing your finds and am so inspired every time your videos pop up!
Your valentines display IA awesome. Beautiful 😍
Subtle & romantic. And how did you hang the silver plate tray on the door?? Command strip??
Thanks for sharing your display setup. I just expanded my booth so I love seeing new ideas of setting up.
I live locally and I love checking out your booth whenever I go to FAM. I love your rich and moody style. You display it so well. You are an artist.
Your videos and content are fantastic and so enjoyable! I don't under why your posts don't have more "thumbs up" and likes. I REALLY THINK you should start saying something like...

We put Valentines decor in but it doesn’t sell well. Only sold a few pieces, brought most of it home.
I realize I'm late to the party but that pink jump suit is FANTASTIC!
Love your latest display. Also loving your raspberry pink jumpsuit. Girl, how much weight have you lost, you look even more marvelous darling!!

Fill the swans with peppermints!

Just found your channel and just saw you’re in Virginia! I am so excited to know of this place and will plan on coming by to shop!

I sprinkled in some vday stuff but I changed it to Easter last week.

I live in CA so I’m trying to get my husband to take a long road trip! 😊
Beautiful as always!! The morbid and oddities really do sell. Not really my thing, but there's definitely a market for it.
I love what you did, if i had all the proper stuff I'd want to style just like you, lol.
Great display! I did invest some in Valentine's, but I am really liking your idea.
Yes, I would do this display if I were as talented as you!! It’s fantastic!!
Dont let other vendors c😊nvince you to market holidays.
Market your brand
Great job love it all .That chandelier would have come home wth me if i was closer .Beautiful.
Wow! How much is that chandelier? I live in Va. Beach!
I did just a touch of Valentines day, love your choice of music!
Love the haircut, Mike
Love it! I probably would have added red heart candy in cellophane to one or three of the swan thingies.
Love this display. Is chandler available?
I do just a little vignette of Valentine's in my booth, just to add some touches, but not overpower it. Yours looks great! I love the decor, especially the large mirror & the chandelier..oh my word!! how I wish I had a place for that! Just stunning!
Did you study art or interior design, or do you just have a knack for it? I do not have a booth.
Love your set up! Adorable! Your jumper is adorable too❤
Another fabulous display!
You crushed it!❤
The memorial piece is amazing i want it but its a long drive from Montana
Just enough, very classy and not cheesy. ❤
I do just a smidge of Valentines Day.
Ok you need to tell me what breed or breeds your dog is …adorable
Your sense of style is so amazing! Love it 😊
I love how everything is staged. You have the best ideas on putting stuff together. The only thing that might need to be tweaked is having the little stool hiding the picture of the girl and her flower crown. She is so special. Just don’t want her to be hid, but she may have sold already. Good eye finding her!❤️
Also, thank you to the dealers comments on here letting us know what is selling.
Mike wasn't home to monitor you 😂😂😂
I love how you display your items!
Love the pink coveralls!
Your awesome where do you bid on items
Why r ur videos so late? Is it google?
You did a
BEAUTIFUL job!!!!!
Being a
Long-time
Booth Dealer,
My Issue is
that
customers
who are
interested in
buying
your suitcases,
will totally
DESTROY
your entire display.
The pink boiler suite is 😘😘
Looks wonderful! That chandelier is amazing!

❤ I did add a little Valentine's but did sell much. Your booth is beautiful!! Can't wait for spring.🌼🌱
I absolutely love how this came together. You are so talented. I definitely like to do a little Valentine's before jumping into spring/Easter. Well done. ❤
That Chandelier is AMAZING! I wish you were closer, I would buy that in a heartbeat!
