I’m so glad that I’ve been offering these giveaways! It’s a wonderful way to “meet” you, hear your opinions, and learn what topics interest you most. If you’ve enjoyed another post on the blog, besides the weekly giveaway, please leave a comment on it, too!
This week’s giveaway is a Necklace Set!
Vintage moonglow lucite beads are the focal points here. The colors are mouth-watering shades of light violet and soft aqua! Please note that the aqua color is actually a little more blue than it appears in my photo.
This pretty set has a vintage look and a delicate weight. It’s perfect for anytime of the year, but especially nice in warm weather, when heavy fussy jewelry feels just too hot to wear!
The beads are such a sweet size – 9mm, or about the size of a pea! They are baroque-style, which means they are not perfectly round, but have tiny little dimples or indentations here and there – so cute! I have accented the Vintage Lucite Beads with Swarovski Crystals in coordinating shades of violet and aqua.
Measurements:
The Earrings measure 1-1/4″ in length, including the sterling silver earwires.
The Necklace measures 19″ in length, and has a textured toggle clasp.
Perfect for a gift . . . or maybe you’ll keep it for yourself? 😉

I just finished “The Last Lecture”…so good!!!! I’ve seen the interviews too, and it makes me cry every time.
Recently read Shepherding a Child’s Heart and it was a fresh perspective with my kids.
I made little snowman ornaments out of felt for all of our little preschool friends this year. So cute. I was really pleased.
My favorite book of all time is Scarlet, the sequel to Gone With The Wind. I simply love the time period and all the characters!
I made fabric ornaments with my kids initials. It was a totally green project using fabric from outgrown clothing and cardboard! Pretty easy too.
I’m currently entrenched in Exploring the Latest Trends in Mixed Media Arts: Projects & Techniques-Volume I. It’s a great book written by some friends of mine. Sorry it isn’t a novel – but with 3 kids, I can’t remember the last time I had the chance to read a novel! lol However, if you are interested in mixed media art, this is a fantastic book!
I recently made several new watches – and I was really pleased with how the whole batch turned out. Sometimes, when you create you get this “mojo” – some call it “the zone”. The colors just fell together, along with the accents I added. I’m giving them away as Christmas presents…so shhhh! 😉
recently i have been knitting lovely pink pigs too decorate our christmas tree
Since it’s Christmas and I’m making lots of gifts, I’m reading craft books for inspiration and ideas. Stitched in Time by Alicia Paulson; Shear Spirit by Joan Tapper and, just for fun, A Farewell to Yarns by Jill Churchill.
I’m a sandy come lately to the fleece throw scene but have made a dozen or so for family, friends and people I’ve run across who need a bit of Christmas. It’s especially nice when I can find fleece that seems tailor made for people.
I recently finished the book, Chasing Windmills by Catherine Ryan Hyde. Good read!
I absolutely love your necklace! So pretty. I recently made some very colorful pillowcases for my daughters and their friends for gifts. I think they turned out way cute and it was fun to personalize them with the fabrics.
