any ideas on getting jewelry displays to Stand Up?

The cardboard display busts are much lighter weight than the necklaces
they are displaying. You need to weigh them down with something to
prevent them toppling over. I use those metal cage like things which
they sell at Joann's Fabrics, they are really to be used to put glasses
or silverware in for picnics. If you turn them over, they have a
series of parallel metal rods and you can just put the "leg" of the
jewelry bust in them for support. They are verdi gris finish and found
in the garden section of the store.

Other than that, how did you do at your first show? I hope you did
well saleswise and had a good time, too.

I just bought a wooden bust - it was priceier than the cardboard displays,
but it's heavy enough that you can't knock it over. This is what it looks
like...
