I hope everyone had at least a little chocolate over the Valentine’s Day weekend. If not, don’t worry – it will be half-price in the stores today! 😉
On to the giveaway . . .
This week, I have a pair of flirty dangle earrings that feature baroque-shaped Czech glass beads in a fabulous girly-girl shade of FUCHSIA pink. They have an icy cool sparkle that will brighten even the dreariest of winter days.
I’ve accented the Czech beads with glittering Swarovski Crystals in both fuchsia and clear aurora borealis. All metal embellishments & findings are *Sterling Silver*!
Measurements: approximately 2″ long, including the sterling silver earwires.

Hi Sweetie!
Another pair of BEAUTIES!!! I love the beads and crystals you used for these, and you know how I feel about any shade of pink! They are gorgeous!!!
My perfect day off would involve anything with nature or animals … and throw in some snow, and I’m really happy!
xoxo Paulette ;D
Beautiful earrings.
Ok, perfect day in reality world or fantasy world? I’ll pick reality because if I pick fantasy it will use all your blog space. ~lol~ you know I can get pretty wordy.
I have two thoughts of a perfect day. The first would be a nice drive with Terry on a sunny day to somewhere on Lake Michigan. A stop for a nice lunch in a cafe that looks over the Lake, another stop at a perfect beadshop and a quiet drive home. Quality time spent with Terry would be a perfect day.
However, any day off work, spent at home alone to clear the clutter would also be a perfect day. Or one spent working in the garden. Heck, any quiet day spent doing whatever I want would be perfection!!
Have a great day, Crissy. Hope today is a perfect day for you!
xx Carol
My perfect day off is a warm sunny one where my husband and I ride our Harley on the backroads and later we stop at a mom and pop diner for lunch or dinner.
These earrings are gorgeous I love the color. My perfect day is a walk at the nearby river watching eagles,seals, and other creatures then having a picnic.Thanks Marian
LOVES the earrings! I love the names you come up with, too 🙂 So perfectly descriptive!
Perfect day off – NOT TODAY! I HATE LAUNDRY! I HATE WASHING THE FLOOR – TWICE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PIGS! I HATE COOKING! *cough*
Uhm… sleeping in as late as I want, go out to lunch to somewhere scrumptious, spend the afternoon playing token games, then dinner at Canyon Creek! YUMS! Then watch the repeat of the Olympics before bed and spoil every single event for hubby – PRICELESS! (Oh wait, we do that EVERY night… teehee!)
Such pretty earrings. My perfect day off would be…
Getting a chance to hang out with my BF who lives an ocean away. Hed come here and id have nothing to do but hang out with him. Probably we would walk around this lake in the morning and hold hands in the cold air
Perfect day off: pancakes with blueberry sauce and scrambled eggs. Day of reading good book and no obligations to fulfill. A quiet evening with movie and microwave popcorn. Early to bed. Love the earrings!
My perfect day would be technology free enjoying a nice quiet dinner somewhere with hubby. I am thinking… the fall, changing colors of the leaves, scenic drive to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan, crossing Mackinaw Bridge. Oh the beauty!!
My perfect day would be no distractions and to be able to sleep as long as I want!
My perfect day would consist of having NO grad classes or homework to do for class. I would curl up with a nice book in the afternoon on a hammock sipping chai tea. In the evening my husband and I would have a picnic under the stars and sipping wine. We would catch fireflies and go for a walk around the lake.
My perfect day off is a whole day of family bonding. Playing with my daughter and having a relaxing massage with my husband 🙂
Gorgeous earrings – love the color!
A perfect day involves no watching the time from beginning to end – out for breakfast (including pancakes of course!), a leisurely stroll on the beach and a quiet evening of total relaxation.
Perfect day off would start out with the kids and hubby making me breakfast in bed. Then I would spend the whole day crafting in my nook while hubby takes the kids to the zoo and brings dinner and starbucks home. hehe
I have kids – so there’s never a day off! But I would love to actually finish a project in one day, or a whole book or movie in one go.
Those earrings pop, they are so pretty:)
My perfect day off, is NOT doing dishes and laying in the tanning bed for 10 mins…ahhhh
My perfect day off would be warm and sunny, with a walk in the park, a picnic lunch, great conversation, then a cute coffee shop, then a calm, relaxing evening and maybe a movie and snuggling on the couch.
My perfect day is a sunny day at the beach!
Very cute earrings… I’m having a day off – but because I’m sick… I’m gonna try and make it just a little better and try to paint a small box I’m working on. I’m the worst patient ever, I know! 🙂
my perfect day off would be pancakes in the morning, a long walk in the summer sun, curling up under the covers in the evening with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate!
The earrings are so feminine!
The perfect day off—a walk, a lunch out, then curl up with a good book.
My perfect day would be a day of having the whole house to myself (no kids!), a great book to read, and nothing to do all day but read it! Such a luxury!
Thanks for the giveaway – the earrings are so pretty!
I love snow days because there are no errands to run or any obligations, you just have to enjoy being at home and be still!
My perfect day off would be in summer, me with a book somewhere outside, and no one to distract me.
My perfect day off would begin with my husband taking the kids out early and making coffee before he goes. Then I would be able to lounge around for a bit without worrying about getting their breakfast and such. He would then bring them home, make a yummy lunch, and rub my feet. Ahhh, then we would go exploring some thrift or resale shops, have a light dinner out, and then home to bed.
Thanks for the chance.
I love the earrings! My perfect day off is a day to catch up on housework. Believe it or not, I enjoy doing laundry and cleaning house. I like the process of making my home clean and organized again. Of course, it also would involve an evening of complete relaxation–with a book and a cup of tea.
My perfect day off consists of a hot cup of coffee in a nice hot bath followed by a long day of scrapbooking and finished off with dinner out and movies on the couch 🙂
My perfect day off would be sleeping in, and then reading my book!
The earrings are SO cute, thanks for the giveaway!
I’m so glad I found your Etsy shop. You have wonderful beads! I’ve added you to my favorite shops so I can find you again when I have more time for beading. 🙂
(And I hope I win your pretty pink earrings!) 😀
The perfect day for me will be with my boyfriend when he returns from abroad 3 months later:)
Such pretty earrings! Your photographs are always so nice too, very clear and bright. You really know how to highlight your jewelry.
My perfect day off? I’d sleep in, then spend all morning wandering around bookstores and antique shops, have coffee and a bite to eat in a sidewalk cafe where I could sit and people watch, take a nap for an hour or so, then hang out in a museum for the afternoon. Supper in a pub, maybe a concert or a play, then take a shower and fall into bed.
Writing about that makes me wish I was in London again! 🙂
my perfect day off is crafting with the kids and taking a nature walk! and maybe some relaxing in-between.
Perfect day off is sunny and I’m playing outside with my family. When I get tired, I’m sewing outside while my daughter continues to play on her own in the garden. At the end of the day, I have a bath and a long night sleep.
These are beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win them.
Day off, what is THAT?! If ever it existed, it would include a nice big cup of perfectly roasted coffee, a huge breakfast with all the bad stuff, browsing at a bookstore, snuggling with my puppies, soaking the sun at the beach, and making something crafty. And of course, it would end with chocolate and a back rub from my husband =)
Love these earrings! A perfect day off would be sleeping in, eating pancakes for breakfast, and then heading to a hot, sunny beach with clear blue water to swim in! A barbeque for supper and a bonfire to finish off the night. Can you tell I can’t wait for summer?!
the perfect day off is one where my son and husband are with me, the house is clean, and nobody has to cook anything. 🙂
My perfect Day off.
Tea and toast on the deck.
Puttering in the garden, with
my four cats dancing around me.
Go out for fish and chips and come
home and watch the Canucks hockey
game. And in between all this I would
throw in a bit of knitting.
Hi! Beautiful earrings! 🙂
The perfect day off would be sleeping in, no cell phone on, eating out for lunch. Shopping a little, maybe go see a movie at the matinee price.
Eat a great dinner at home and listen to some cool music. 🙂
The perfect day off: it’s snowing and I don’t have to leave the house!
My perfect day off would be a lazy day at the beach with my beloved.
My perfect day off would be sleeping in then have breakfast in bed and taking a hot bubble bath.
My perfect day off would include fried egg sandwiches, never changing out my pajamas, and a movie marathon. Maybe with a milkshake. Oh, and my husband. 😉
my perfect day off would be sleeping in, having a lovely breakfast and coffee and then heading out of town, perhaps to the beach or shopping in NYC, and I wouldn’t have to drive of course.
another perfect day off would be just relaxing and hanging out with my husband and daughter. just enjoying each other’s company…
Perfect day off. Alarm is not set and the cell is turned off. A warm sunny day, a bike ride to a scenic spot and a good book.
🙂
Thanks for doing the giveaway!
The perfect day off is one where I cuddle in bed with my sweetie and we have a movie marathon (with lots of snacks).
My perfect day off would be laying on a beach with a hot guy and my best friend. Not really doing much, just being warm and happy.
My perfect day off is waking up at 9am, eating a good breakfast, going shopping for a new outfit, meeting up friends for lunch and watching a movie with my love one ( :
Perfect day off would be to have coffee brought to me in bed, and then have the house to myself for the rest of the day and enjoy a nice quiet day.
My perfect day off would include my husband and my children. I wouldn’t care what we do as long as we did something fun together. Of course the perfect day would include having perfectly behaved children.
The perfect day off would leave me at home with no one and nothing to do except a little light cleaning, gardening and blogging! maybe a family walk in the late afternoon and go feed the horses!
