past & present tables

chapter 1: 🧺🌼 picnic ☁️🌷

Imagine lying down on the green grass, watching clouds float by above in a perfectly blue sky..

This debut table setup featured the quintessential gingham picnic pattern, sky blue panels, cloud signage, grassy shelves, and flower decor. Don't forget the picnic baskets! This table display was used for Abracadeborah's first two markets in 2025, in both a full table and half-table style.

chapter 2: 🍨🍒 ice cream truck 🍦🍧

No beach trip is complete without a visit to the ice cream truck!

This table setup was created exclusively for Momo Art Mart's Peach Beach. Featuring a giant ice cream on top and wheels on the bottom, this table was dressed as a pastel ice cream truck, complete with ice cream decor and a retro-inspired menu.

chapter 3: 🍶🌿fantasy apothecary🍄🌻

A cosy shop in the middle of the woods. Do you want to step inside, adventurer?

Inspired by my love of the fantasy genre in media, this table setup marked the start of a complete rebrand for Abracadeborah, and had various iterations throughout the second half of 2025 and most of 2026, making it my most used display. Sizes ranged from a 'mini' full table setup, to an impromptu half table addition (1.5 tables).

When possible, decor would be changed out to match the event theme, however unchanging features of this table include the wooden aesthetic, fantasy inspired signage, star motifs, and green foliage and colourways.
