Silver Bella… here we come » Willow Nest : Burton,TX

Welcome to Willow Nest!

Ludmil and I met and married 15years ago, little did either of us realize then what true soul mates we are. Or maybe a better description would be that we are the best of work mates.

It has often been said "do what you love and the money will come" or from the Field of Dreams "build it and they will come". Indeed, that has been the case for us. We wake everyday with not enough day to complete all our tasks.

The name originated from our fist home together in Oregon, which had a willow tree, was on a little piece of land, with a tiny barn, a farm.... and we are Nester's unequivocally!.....Willow Nest Farm was birthed!

Silver Bella… here we come

Wednesday, November 11, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized

I have a case of the jitters… we are on our way, we are half way there… I am putting glitter on things here in the hotel room just hours before the show! I have answered calls all day from friends and family.. now how far is this,answer:870 miles, how long?answer; it s THREE HOUR show!!!!when do you set up?answer: three hrs before the show we get to go into the ballroom… yes it’s a ballroom…. we only have a 10×10 space, it has been years since we did a 10×10…. I have so many things… BUT… we laid it all out in front of the store, and it did work… so I need to take a deep breath….. BUT.. three hrs!!! for set-up!!!!! For those of you who know me well , you know I do not ask many questions… some one asks us to do a show, I think, that sounds fun, sure, count us in…. when I hang up Ludmil ALWAYS… ALWAYS… asks me, how many vendors, do we have a wall, electricity, how do they advertise , do we unload at our space or far away, how about trailer parking, what is the attendance like.. I never never never ask all that even after all these years.. I just say Ludmil ,we are going to do Silver Bella, some really talented, amazing people do Silver Bella…. and some of our old friends from the North West do Silver Bella,that’s all I know and all I need to know… we’re going! Little by little after the deposit has been sent and I have started gathering my goodies,I find out all there is to know,it does not change a thing for me,I am still excited and still making all my charts and plans, but Ludmil feels so much better because he has some answers. We can’t wait to see you. At our Urban Market show this past weekend many people said they were coming to see us, I can hardly wait.Go check the Bella web site for answers to all your questions, I have to go glitter…

A little sidebar, I am miles away from where I was born oh so long ago…… things so seem to go in a full circle don’t they.

p.s. thank you lovely people who came and visited our booth at Urban Market… we love seeing you!

November 11, 2009 - 9:55 pm lulu - Linda, welcome to Luluville. I never know what is going on even after I arrive! Life stays so full of surprises that way. Hope all yours are good ones this week-end. Miss and Love you Lulu

I know everything will be wonderful and you will see old friends and gain new ones. It is so good that you and Ludmil have such a balance - wouldn't it be boring if we all worried about the same things! Now go glitter some more and have a wonderful show and think of us out here in the rain ... HUGS! Betty :)

November 18, 2009 - 12:50 pm kara & darcy - can't wait to hear about SB....3 hours to set up? At the Country Living Show, you kept coming back to see if you could buy stuff yet, remember we kept saying give us more time. Needless to say, we could never set up in 3 house, heee!!! Hope all is well! Kara & Darcy
