In a few short weeks I'm traveling to Estes Park, CO for the Yoga Journal Conference. I'm thrilled to be sharing Journey Jewels at the this event...to spend a little time in the mountains...and of course do yoga with some amazing yogis. However, traveling (with jewelry) to this event has brought about some interesting challenges...it's a little further from home & that means flying...and luggage limitations (and some restrictions on what I bring with me for a display). So I've been dreaming about creative displays and finally had an opportunity to create them with my dad.
My dad can work wonders with a piece of wood...my home is filled with beautiful pieces of furniture demonstrating his talent...and my little displays are far from reflecting these wonders. Oh...& I forgot to say he likes to keep boards & scrap wood for "just in case" times like this. Our day began with a trip to the wood loft in search of just the right pieces.

Dad suggested putting a design on the top...the Journey Jewels logo is what we decided on
I love the way this necklace stand turned out....poplar wood for the base, a willow branch with cup hooks across the top...and even the Journey Jewels logo is painted on top.
This earring display also has poplar wood for the base, a placemat with paperclips to hold earring cards...and again the Journey Jewels logo on top.
