Help needed (Shaddup, Jeff)

[zianuray]

So everyone here knows by now that I'm doing massage at White Hart Faire this year, right?  I sure babble about it enough!

I generally vend soaps, candles, etc., but this time I'll have just a very small selection of these, more b/c people have learned to expect dragon candles from me.

I will have a reflexology recliner, a table, and a massage chair with me in my booth.  Now the difficulty -- the vendor coordinator (and owner of the site and faire) wants the chair hidden from view as it is "not period."

Well, I can toss a sheet over it -- but that'd get real dirty real fast, and would have to be removed/replaced for each customer and I just don't have THAT many sheets!  (No laundry on/near the site -- this is RURAL.)

I can use "curtains" to block view into the booth -- which will increase the heat and be much rougher on me.  Even with good signage, this would cost custom as people wouldn't see what I have to offer.

At least two other faires that have a massage vendor allow the equipment to be out in plain view, but this is supposed to be a more historically accurate setting, so...ideas?


ETA:  Remember, this all has to fit in my car in one trip....

Not a curtain, a half wall: covers the sight of the table, but leaves the top open to breezes... or even a screen, anchored in place, with the bottom foot open a stretch of cloth or willow fencing or such in the middle and more open space up top.

It would also give the patron a slight sense of privacy, which could make it more comfortable for them...

What if you draped something, say a quilt, over the chair when not in use? Or, if you have the time and $$$ you can pick up some of those paper sheets used in doctor's offices. Put those over the quilt when someone is getting their massage?

I think that's what I'll do -- thanks!

I would say a screen, like those people change behind, with a sign on the front of it saying "Chair Massage!" might be your best bet.

Got a screen I can use? *laughing* You'd think in this house...but nooooooo! I'll see what I can dig up at HobbyLobby (or a hardware store) without breaking the bank.
