A Note from Pam Garrison
Hi everyone! Can't wait to create with you all next week...for those in my Lineage of Love Workshop, I wanted to show some photos of the project to help
clear up any questions.
he was a wee lad. I will be providing a color copy sheet with 4 cabinet card photos so if you choose to go that route, you'll just need to bring chipboard or mat board to adhere these photocopies to. Here are a couple more sneak peeks:

Last Minute Update
There are two openings for Silver Bella!
If you know someone who may be interested (or you, yourself) pass it along, won't you?
Serious inquiries can email me at: tmcfayden@cox.net. I'd love to be able to help out the two girls who have unfortunate circumstances that prevent them from attending.
Thanks!

A fun detour
These girls are so very sweet and clever as can be with their mad french decorating skills. If you get a chance to pop in their their store during your stay in Omaha, do it! Le Marche will have lots of holiday decor, too!
They are helping out with some charming door prizes for Silver Bella. Aren't we lucky? Oui Oui!
Gotta love that.
They will be having a fantastic French Flea Market this Friday, October 23, too. Great find, great treasures, great deals!

We've been putting things together and opening boxes from near and far...soooo many goodies! They arrive almost daily now. Wait until you see all the goody bag fillers from the sponsors! Here is something new for this year:
This was especially made for Silver Bella. I searched and sampled and smelled all Summer long to get it just right. Word around town is it smells fabulous! Can't wait to show you!

Bella style T-Shirts
The official t-shirt for Silver Bella is truly amazing this year! Take a peek at them! There is a short sleeve and a long sleeve:
Kim Caldwell together with Amy Tangerine have designed this year's shirts! The other day I got a sample and am in love. You just might see me wearing it out and about...I couldn't resist! The shirt is soft stretchy cotton, thin, and so "in" right now. The Silver Bella logo is colorfully embroidered on the chest. The crown is silver! Ahhh....details, right?
We are so lucky to have those girls fashion sense and fabric knowledge involved in the making of our souvenir shirt!! Great price, too, considering all the detail...thank you Kim and Amy for helping a Bella out. I also love that it's black. Any pretty necklaces you wear with it (and you know you will) totally pop against the black.
Get the details & preorder

Bella Kindness
Take a peek at what a very sweet and thoughtful Bella sent my way!
Bella kindness is ever present across the country. It's evident on the message boards and blogs, that's for sure. Friendships begin and flourish, art is created...often in the name of kindness. So this shouldn't have surprised me one bit! Take a look at what could be coming to YOUR mailbox, bellas (click on photo to enlarge):
I can't decide what to add! But I will...and pass it on...
I'm going to add to the treasures inside the envelope and send it to another Bella or two or three. Then they will add and take away and pass it on, too! Thank you for sending this my way, Catherine!!

Bella Market has a Dress Code!
But you already knew that, right? Every year at Silver Bella we dress up a little (or a lot) on Friday night during Bella Market. We've had several themes in the past like: pajama party, vintage cowgirl, and bella prom. Everyone enjoys this evening so much! Here's the theme for this year:
I hope you will embrace 100 Aprons in true Bella style! I previously hinted at a "Stardust" theme, but am changing it, because this just seems like so much fun. Maybe you will wear a half apron, or a full one apron...maybe it'll be found at your favorite antique store or boutique, or maybe it will be made by you.
100 Aprons allows for creativity in many shapes and sizes. If you like, enter yours in one of these fun contests and win prizes! Here are the categories, so you can be thinking, planning and creating:
Vintage
Old, weathered and adorned aprons!
or
Kitschy
Colorful, sweet, and spirited aprons!
or
Glam
Cocktail party style, glitz and starstruck aprons!
Show some APRON ATTITUDE!
