Standing at her booth is full time artist, Joanne of Relly Rose Designs. I met Joanne at the Milwaukee Urban Market. From June through October a variety of artists and farmers sell their wares at the Outdoor Urban Market. I snapped these photos of Joanne at her table, not only because I think the jewelry she makes is lovely, but because Joanne is gifted in the art of display.

Not only does Joanne sell her pieces at the market, she also sells on Etsy, rellyrosedesigns.etsy.com. Her display is well suited for the style of jewelry she makes. The silver in her earrings and chain bracelets is oxidized giving it a vintage look. Her goal is to make timeless, simply stated urban, vintage-inspired jewelry. She says, "[Making jewelry]is a very calming, cathartic ritual for me. All of my pieces are inspired by the deep, rich colors of the spectrum. I adore hearty plums, blood reds, midnight blues, moss greens, milky whites, jet blacks, smokey greys, and earthy browns. Every piece has a story to tell." The weather-worn pieces she uses to display her jewelry also seem to tell a story...a romantic one.

Check out the birds at the top of this weather vane/necklace holder and the earring tags clipped with clothes pins to the wire dress form. I am sure customers appreciate this attention to detail; it really caught my eye. When you order from Joanne's etsy sight, she sends her pieces  in a complimentary 100% recycled gift box. It seems she has thought of everything. And her business, Relly Rose Designs, was named after her daughter, Relaneve Rose.
