Giveaway – Cherry Sorbet Earrings

Posted on by

Hello, Hello! 😀

Well, it seems that last week’s question, regarding which household task you dislike the most, had two popular answers.

“Cleaning the bathroom” was one chore mentioned frequently – which is surely understandable!

However I was surprised to see that “ironing” was also listed several times! I didn’t realize that there was much ironing going on out there, anymore. It was very interesting to learn that even though you hate it, it’s still a chore on the to-do list. Personally, I try to buy things that need little or no ironing, whenever I can, but if I must iron – I do. 😉

OK, on to the weekly giveaway!

This time it’s a sparkling pair of earrings that are as cheerful as a summer picnic!

These adorable bunches of “cherries” feature bright red faceted crystals, which are accented with peridot-green crystal leaves. The stones are set in a silvertone metal, and the graceful earwires are sterling silver.

Overall measurement: 1-3/8” in length.

Giveaway – Cherry Sorbet Earrings — 55 Comments

  1. I don’t think I collect anything, unless “books” counts. With all the books and art supplies, I don’t have room for anything like a collection!

    I do seem to have quite an assortment of journals. I use them to keep track of things I need to do, you see- and I keep misplacing them. But with ENOUGH journals I don’t have to remember where I put my journals!:P

  2. Good Morning!!
    Your cute little earrings sure do look like cherries!

    I would never had said ironing. Why, because I don’t iron? NOT!

    I have my favorite present from my husband that I use almost every day to press a shirt for work. Its the handy dandy Steamfast Presser which is hard to describe but its like a small ironing board with a presser lid that you turn on, heat up, lay out the item to be pressed, lower the lid and vawlah!!! Instant press. I have thanked Terry tons of times for it. I just had to mention that.

    What do I collect? Well, I used to collect a lot more than I do today. At 58 I am trying to divest myself of stuff like my Hallmark Ornament collection, Snoopy toys that topped Brachs Candy, Waterglobes which I LOVE, Christmas Houses. You got the picture…I collect.

    So, I will mention my collection of clothes labels. O, you think I like to LOOK at them.. Nope. Do I think they will be valuable some day…..Nope again.

    I am collecting labels because when I have enough, I will sew them on a fabric background creating a fabric panel to make into yet another unusual purse.

    This is going to take a long time!

    Have a great, great day!!

  3. Oh how those cherries sparkle!

    Collect – it seems I am very good at collecting dust….. though I try mightily not to do so.

    Intentional collections are would you believe hats 😀 and sewing patterns 😀 ……. now I also sell both of those things, but the sales are an offshoot of the collecting mania. And you know what? being a “dealer” allow me to handle lots more of each thing.

  4. I love shoes and jewelry – my two weaknesses. But they’re not a true collection. I don’t ‘collect’ anything in particular. Let me tell you why.My Mother used to collect bells. She had bells from all over the country, different sizes, different colors, etc. She had two large curio cabinets filled. She had bells on the TV, on the kitchen counter, on window sills, on end tables, in the bathroom, and her bedroom. When she passed away she left all her bells to my daughter. To make a long story short, I now have boxes of bells in my basement because no one knows what to do with them. Therefore I don’t collect anything. My Mother cured me of that desire!
    Do you or any of your readers have any suggestions on what to do with bells?

  5. Morning Crystal!

    Oh, those earrings are soooo sweet! They brought instant smiles!

    I have lots of little collections. Let’s see, I love red/pink and white/ivory transferware dishes. I’m forever picking up new ones here and there at shops like Marshall’s and TJ Max for a few dollars. Even though they don’t “match”, they look so pretty together in my china closet and on the den wall.

    Don’t forget to tell us about your collecting!

    Have a fun day Sweetie!
    Paulette xoxo

  6. Hi Crystal!
    Happy Monday! Hope the weather there is better than it is here, in the mid 90’s all week + VERY high humidity!! Not very fun at all.

    LOVE the earrings, so adorable!

    I collect Kentucky Derby julep glasses. I have 25-30 glasses now, I am always on the lookout at antique or junk stores. I found a bunch at the Goodwill store one time! They are fun to collect and it ties in with my love of horses. I started when I was in college and I went to the Kentucky Derby (the only time I have gone).

  7. Lovely earrings!

    I collect sea glass, it started when I visited my parents house and now I have quite the collection.

  8. Thimbles :)ive collected them from places we have visited and some friends have brought some back from their travels too.
    Of course hubby would probably say craft crap including sewing fabric but then i remind him that a blouse needs one kind of fabric while a jacket needs another :)Im not allowed to go to the fabric store or craft store these days.

  9. I collect antique cast iron cake molds. They are so fun to use too. I also have antique cast iron toys.

  10. I collect used stamps and currently have 3 magnetic albums full of these!
    I’ve been collecting for 10 years now. My collection were mostly from asia and the USA. I’ve love to expand it to European states given the opportunity to trade.

  11. Hello Crystal…

    Haha… Good question too ask… I’ve been collecting SailorMoon merchandise and comics from the age of 10!

    SailorMoon is about a girl (Usagi Tsukino)who is actually a princess Serenity from moon, change to a superhero, protecting the earth from evil villian from dark places in earth and universe with her Silver Moon Crystal Power… together with 4 of her protecter, they keep the earth safe from destruction. she fallen in love and married to a guy name Mamoru Chiba who is amnesia and can turn into Tuxedo Mask (he is cute in the comics) He is actually Prince Endymion of the Earth and will become Sailormoon’s husband in the 30th century in Crytal Tokyo…

    Haha… love them so much that I even memorize all the pages of the comic…

  12. Hi Crystal, I collect old ceramic tea cups (mugs). It is not real collection. I put all of them on the shelves in my kitchen, but unfortunately when I was doing cleaning up I have cracked few of them:) so my collection does not grow in the number of items… bye, Lubica

  13. I collect key chains. Some of them were either given to me as gifts by friends or I bought as souvenirs from the places I was able to visit. c:

  14. I collect Charlie Brown stuff. I have Charlie Brown pens, notepads, a garbage can, toys, laundry hamper, dessert dishes, serving plates, towels, blankets, books, and all that jazz. I just love it!

  15. Oh my, this earrings are lovable!
    By any way I collect phone card since I was 9! I really don’t know how I began, but this passion follow me since now, and I have some rare and amazing card of which I am proud!
    Hope my english is correct, I’m italian ;D

  16. I have a bad habit of collecting everything! My longest running collection is those souvenir smooshed pennies you can get at theme parks and notable places – I have tons of those!

  18. I collect lots of things my fave collection right now is my vintage perfume atomizer bottles. they look so pretty on my antique vanity mirrior. Another fave collection is my carousel collection.

  19. Your earrings look very Katy Perry-ish!

    I collect books…so many that they are coming out of shelves, closets, boxes, and are not only stored at my home, but my parent’s too (which kills me because I’m the type of gal that needs all of her books together).

    I also collect shot glasses from places that I’ve visited. I think my favorite one is from the Sigfried and Roy Dolphin and Big Cat Habitat in Las Vegas.

    I used to collect weird lighters…oddly shaped and unique lighters. I don’t smoke, but I just think people come up with some pretty clever ways to make fire come out of those little things. I like flicking them on. I think I’m over that collecting phase.

    Have a great day!

  20. Probably my worst collection is tiny bowls. I love them, they’re affordable, and I find them in all kinds of shapes and colours.. but there’s only so many wee dishes a person can use. Right now I’ve managed to narrow it down to a few stacks of lotus blossom bowls, and a few lovely saki cups. But everytime I find another, I want it!

  22. I collect owl decorations. I got really into owls after getting an owl teapot for Christmas in 2008, and have been collecting them from vintage stores or getting them as gifts since. So cute!

  24. I collect shampoos, yeah I am shampoo girl I have many shampoo at home. In fact I have more shampoo than shower gel

  25. I collect books; I read like a fiend. I only buy a book if I want to read it, and I only keep books I like. I still have way too many.

  29. I collect cute paper bags. Whenever I go shopping and I see these little cuties in the shops I cannot resist and always end up buying at least one to add to my growing collection. My husband says it’s called “hoarding” not “collecting”.

    Thanks for such a pretty giveaway.

  31. I don’t really collect anything in the sense that I spend time organizing/enjoying, but I do enjoy getting vacation postcards sent to me by friends and family.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  33. I have a collection of tea pots
    to make me happy. I made one
    of the metal tea pots into a water
    fountain a few years ago. I’m trying
    to make some tea cosies for some of
    the pots. I have just finished the base
    of one to make into a gingerbread house.
    Now, I get to decorate it.
    Nice earrings.

  35. I collect anything to do with the Old South, but especially steamboats! I am fascinated by riverboats and my dream vacation would be a weeklong trip down to New Orleans and back on the Delta Queen. 🙂

  37. Hi Crystal!!!!!

  48. Hi! I have many kinds of collections. I collect old advertising tins and signs. I love how colorful they are and what they were used for. Most of my tins are reproductions but I have a few tobacco tins that are extremely old. My other big thing that I collect is Coca Cola Memorabilia. I have tons of the stuff…I prefer the old time look of it than the Polar Bears. The earrings are so cute! 🙂

  49. i collected postcards, I have more than 100 i think. I used to hang some of the best ones in my bedroom as a part of the room’s decoration.

  50. I collect clowns. Though one of my children wasn’t fond of them for a while she’s been converted and now sees the joy in each and every one. Some are handmade, some cloth, some ceramic, some metal, some pictures but most 3D. I frequently wear a clown pin especially on a coat.
