Country Living has a sneak peek at their Silver Bella article coming up in the next issue. You can see a slide show of 15 pictures here.
And here is a sneak peek of my Silver Bella booth.
I cleared a dining table in my studio to use for a practice set up of my jewelry displays.
Setting all of this up, reminds me of when I was a little girl and loved to play "store". I’d line up my toys and pretend they were for sale, and my pony tailed Barbie was my coworker as we wrote up receipts for all the purchases.
This isn’t quite the final product, I’ll be tweaking it tonight, then will pack it all up and have the jewelry portion of my merchandise set to go!
The table I am practicing on is a foot short than the tables we will be renting at the Market Faire, but it is close enough to give me an idea of what to bring.
My displays are going to be ready to go, just pull out of the packing box and set up. 
I’ve enlisted the help of all the lovely ladies out in the studio to be my models.
Actually, this hand painted charm, isn’t jewelry, it is more of a tag. 
And the necklace on this lady is vintage but not hand made. I will have both, and really should have them separated better when I do the final set up.
This lady might be better holding bracelets than necklaces. She is pretty dainty and has a tiny neck.
Do you remember this elegant belle? I bought her from Beth, and she will fit right in at Silver Bella, she will sell pearls for me.
I know red isn’t my color, but this is still a nice way to sell pendants. I hope the dark red isn’t too jarring for the rest of the space… I’ll have lots of pastels, white, and silver.
And I know it wouldn’t be that hard to recover this display, but it just isn’t high on my list of priories. Do you think it will matter?
You are just killing me here! Please tell me you will put any leftovers in your shop?! It all looks beautiful and I think the pendants really pop on the red.
I can’t beleive how much you have gotten done for Silver bella. You will be in great shape by the time it gets here. The slide show looked like so much fun. No wonder everyone keeps talking about it. Have a great evening.

I think it is classy enough to sell your wares. Wishing you millions of sells! Terri
Your little ladies are just perfect as models =]
I can’t wait to get my copy of Country Living. I think us Easterners are always the last to get it. All your jewelry looks gorgeous and I love how you’ve displayed it.
It’s all beautiful and the pendants are gorgeous – I think the red sets it all of beautifully!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings,
Sandy
I think that red goes good with your other colors. And I just love those china necklaces! They are so pretty!
Everything looks sooooo beautiful!!!
oh karla
everything looks so wonderful. I personally love the red it will be great with the softer colors.
I am coming to silver bella next year!! If we don’t have any november babies or hawaii weddings HA
Hi-
I love the look of your 2nd photograph best. Everything just goes together so well.
As for the red, I think if you have the time in the long run you’d be happier if you changed out the red to something more subtle and Silver Bellaish, such as the gray you’ve chosen for your other displays, or pale pink. Even if you draped ecru colored lace over the red, it seems like it would fit in more with your style of the rest of your displays.
Please don’t be offended, its only one (my) opinion.
OH MY, I can’t wait to see your booth in real life!! I used to play “store” when I was little too!
just lovely.
Everything is looking good. I expect your booth will be busy with ladies lining up for your wares. Better have helpers making change!
Everything is looking GORGOEUS Karla!!
I’m a lucky girl and get to play store everyday…:)
Silver Bella sounds like a great time. I know you will have a great show.

Good Morning Sweet Karla! I wondered if you did a test run of the set up (I wonder about all kinds of stuff). Do you take a photo then (DUH!!! I mean, will you take the photo with you) or do you just remember and adjust to the space as you go? What fun! But a lot of work, really! I hope you make a million gazillion dollars, or at least Enough, and of course you are going to have so much fun! The red display would grab the eye of a red-lover like me, but you will know best. Thank you for showing us! Your Friend, Bobbi
It looks gorgeous! I used to love to play store, so your intro really got me! LOL! Too much fun!
If you would like to enter a giveaway check out my blog today!
It all looks so enticing, and the red pulls your eye to that portion of the display. Great job!
Great photos. Congrats on the article Karla. I want to invite you to my GIVE-AWAY going on this week.
Hugs,
Pam
Karla, I think your booth will be yummy, you are a very talented artist, and you girls are so lucky to attend Silver Bella. A bit green over here with envy. Knock their socks off!!
Hugs, Diane
Hi Karla! Your things are wonderful… too bad you aren’t closer so I could see it all in person! You “play store” really well!
xoxo
Karen
I think your displays will be just perfect. Good luck and have a wonderful time!
Hi Karla, …it’s the other end of pink and it’s velvet, so it shouldn’t matter too much. You might try putting it with the pearl lady and or near the silver box so that the wood hues and cream lining will all soften each other. Another thought… you might try the dainty blue girl that is going to wear braclets inside the silver box where the neck display is standing now? You might try draping some lace doilies on or around the silver neck display? Happy happies.
Hi Karla, Yesterday i got the country Living Magazine by mail and read about
Silver Bella and thought about you. I was going to email you and let you know, but you already knew. Wish i lived closer so i could come that weekend. Your display is so beautiful.

Your display’s are beautiful! I love the red it’s an attention grabber!
I wish I could go to Silverbella just to shop! I am lusting after the bluebird pendant framed in the red circle…all of it is fabulous!!
I came to this one second so I get a sneak peak of your booth anyway. I really like your ladies. Take Care
What magic! For those of us who can’t be there, thanks for the tour!
thanks for sharing. My best friend and I wanted to go so badly this year, but the funds just aren’t there. boo hoo. I just read my COuntry Living cover to cover- love the Bella pictures. I think your displays are grat. The dark velvet makes the pendants pop- and that’s a good thing!
You have a ton of goodies! I can’t wait to see it all set up at vendor night. It’s gonna be great! xoxo, Joanna
I couldn’t believe it when I saw an ad for Silver Bella in the magazine!! I love Country Living. I half expected to see your picture in one of their photos!!! I hope you have a great time!
I wish I were going to Silver Bella…Your tables will be beautiful…Take care, Katie
This is the first time I have seen china pendants and I love them. I have been offline for a week and missed you terribly. You are one busy gal. Bless your heart.
