Captain Alec’s Skull Shop.

Day 1 of the ‘mini society’ sells was this afternoon…

And, with that, Announcement sign V 2.0 made it’s debut.

From 2011 buildup

Since it’s creation last year, the announcement sign has found use after use, and the need for it to travel finally resulted in the new stand construction. Couple of quick A frames, and some keyhole brackets on the back of the board make it fully collapsible for transport. I want to get a couple of proper brackets ala ladders for the legs, but the rope served it’s purpose for now. The ultimate plan is to build 3 more sets of A frame legs, one shorter, and 2 of the same sizes for Sign 3.5…

As you may have noticed, we were not the only ones out being a little off-beat at the selling day either. Our neighbors were also thinking October, and together we made a little Halloween center!

Of course, that was my cousin’s (and former neighbor) store. We hadn’t purposely planned it, and I found it most amusing, myself.

So, how did the Halloween alley do? Here they are with a line at both.

One more sale day in 2 weeks…

From 2011 buildup

Alec sold out of the large skulls (10) and nearly sold out of the small (35/40)…and probably could have sold out if I hadn’t needed to get going right at shut-down, due to scheduling today… The Trick or Treat bags next door sold all but the display bags.
