Giveaway – Winter Pines Earrings

Posted on by

ThanksgirlturkeyGreetings and welcome to Week 54 of my weekly giveaways! If you’re visiting for the first time, it’s very nice to “meet” you. If you’re one of my regular readers, thank you for returning often – you’re practically part of the family now!

Have you started your holiday shopping yet? I’ve crossed a few things off my list, but I’ve decided to enjoy Thanksgiving before I do too much more. I have to remind myself to enjoy each holiday, so for the next few days, my plan is to stop and smell the roses pumpkin pie! 😀

This week I have a pair of earrings that are a wintry forest green. Their shape and color remind me of pine needles so “Winter Pines” seemed to be the perfect name for them.

They feature two different kinds of vintage beads! The “drops” are Vintage Moonglow Lucite with a lovely, soft shimmer on their surface. I’ve accented the drops with glittering Olivine Aurora Borealis faceted rounds – which are Vintage German Glass. For pierced ears, these earrings measure just over 2 inches in length including the sterling silver earwires.

  1. Butternut squash, along with pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and cooked carrots, is the Enemy. I am horribly allergic to orange foods (except oranges and such, weirdly), and resent the heck out of their dominance of this otherwise festive season.

    Fortunately, I am Texan, and can easily substitute pecan pie at the family dinners without raising eyebrows. But you keep that dang yellowbelly squash away!:D

  2. I am, ever and always, thankful for the internet and all its denizens. We’ve made a whole world out here in the ether– it’s so exciting!

    I’m thankful for the little cold snap we’ve had here– finally, I feel like it’s holiday time! I don’t like being cold, but I can’t get into the spirit of things if I’m not even having to wear socks!

    Along with that, I’m thankful for warm blankets and warm cats– they make cold weather so much more festive.

  3. I never met a squash I didn’t like. I am particular to acorn squash though. My absolute favorite since I was a little girl. No one else in my house likes it. Too bad for them.

  4. Funny, seems funny to make a list of things I am thankful for. I wouldn’t want to leave anything out. You know me…find the good in everything.

    I am NOT thankful Terry has RA, but I AM thankful that its not worse than it is. (Notice how all things start with Terry for me……)

    So, I could make a list, its all degrees of Terry. I am thankful that I think life is good.

  5. Hi CRystal!!!! I’m hear again! Well I didn’t go to the giveaway but I found it… and the earrings are so beauiful!!!

    3. Suscribed!
    4. I’ll return!!!!!!

    Hugs and kisses!!!!!

  6. I LOVE it! Cascadian Farms sells it ready to heat and eat in the frozen section. Heat it, put a little nutmeg and or dill on it, and some butter and you’re good to go! Did I say share the multi-serving package? NO! It’s all mine!
    (I’ll bet you didn’t expect such a passionate answer!)

  8. Life! And all of the good, bad and ugly that comes with it.
    I have learned that what doesn’t kill me, only makes me stronger…..

  10. Hi Sweetie! Such pretty earrings! I love those olivine crystals, ooooh ooh! … and so perfect for the holidays!!!

    I love butternut squash. I just read an article about how very healthy it is for you, which is an added plus! 😉

  12. #1 butternut squash – love it! on the condition that it’s cooked, of course. i hate the raw smell when you cut it open, i hate the stringy bits on the inside with all the seeds, and i hate chopping it up because it’s so tough. but it’s amazing roasted, and put in soup and pureed!

  15. I’m thankful for my family, my job, and life in general. I’m also thankful that it’s Thanksgiving this week and as such only a three-day work-week 😉

  16. I have never liked any kind of squash! I don’t know why but it makes me gag! Thanks for the chance for the beautiful earrings.

  17. I am thankful for all of my family and friends. I’m glad we live in a country with freedoms. When we see what is going on in a lot of other countries we should be so very thankful we are here!! We all need to be thankful for all our soldiers helping us keep our freedom.

  18. I am grateful to live in the US where you can win a pair of earrings just for sending a comment.

  19. Butternut squash? Just a little. I am saving room for mashed potatoes, my favorite part of the Thanksgiving feast.

  21. What am I thankful for? I don’t have enough space to list everything… wonderful husband, healthy happy children, my health, my father, a warm clean home, fresh clean water and good food, temperate climate, cute furry pets, a clear mind, service people in distant lands protecting us, and too many great friends and relatives to list by name…

  22. Great giveaway I love the earrings. I love butternut squash especially butternut squash soup.Thanks for the lovely giveaway.Marian

  24. I’m not really into squash, or squash like things, like zuccinis. Are zuccinis squash-like? I’m not really sure, but I don’t like them either. Unless they are baked into something like pumpkin pie, or pumpkin bread, or zuccini bread. (Is it really spelled zucchini?) Then they are fabulous! So I guess if someone made butternut squash pie or bread, I would probably like it.

  25. I’m thankful for my friends and family, obviously, and also that my betta fish has lived for almost an entire month now. The one I had before died after being home with me for a day, so this is quite the accomplishment. :o)

  26. I LOVE butternut squash… when it’s prepared right! Tiny cubes of it roasted with rosemary and olive oil? Yes. Baked into a pie? Yes. With marshmallows? Uhh, no. 🙂

  28. I’m thankful for the roof on my head and a beautiful healthy daughter. All these things most people take for granted. And a supportive family.

  29. I’m not into squash. Nothing to like about it. Not the taste, neither the texture. Non. Unless you hide it in a bread, I won’t be eating it 🙁

  30. Butternut squash is eh. I’m not crazy about it, but I don’t hate it either. I’ve never been much of a squash person because I don’t like it when things are too squishy/mushy (it’s a texture thing). I’m far more fond of sweet potatoes.

  31. I’m thankful for my family, my friends, and for school. I’m going to graduate school soon and I’m thankful for all the opportunities that I’ve been given and all the possibilities that stand before me.

  38. I am very thankful for my health, my children, a roof over my head, and financial aid to pay for college! I am also thankful for my family and my wonderful friends.

  40. I am very thankful for having a job right now, I am also thankful for the health of my family and friends. and dog. 🙂

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  42. I am thankful for my dog, ROFL. He is a beautiful chocolate boston terrier that came into my life three months ago and we are now the best of friends.

  45. I am blessed no matter what my situation is or has been, I always look at the blessings I have. Family, Food and Fun is all I require through out the holidays as well as the rest of the year.

  49. I am thankful that my husband and I are in good health and that our children and grandkids live close by

  50. I’m kind of in the middle with butternut squash. I tried Campbell’s Butternut Squash soup and hated it, it was disgusting. Yet I made the squash and baked it with sugar and it was tasty.
