Good Morning! Or should I say Good Afternoon?
Or if it’s the end of the day where you are – perhaps I should say Sweet Dreams!
Whatever time it is in your corner of the world, I’m very glad you stopped by. 😀
For this week’s giveaway, I have a bold and beautiful pendant in two shades of sapphire blue!
I used very special vintage glass beads that were made in Czechoslovakia. The facets on these beads give them a gorgeous sparkle. You’ll notice there’s an aurora borealis flash on the teardrop and when the light hits the round bead – it glitters like a disco ball.
The metal components are sterling silver and silver plate. The pendant measures a very showy 1-3/4” long, and should fit on most chains in your wardrobe.

Summer. Every year I look forward to summer. When its over. I look forward to the NEXT summer. I am thinking that I should move to summer.
Seriously, I look forward to each day, more so if the next day is Saturday, Sunday or a holiday. We have a routine. Some would say we are in a rutt. I don’t say that because I like the stability of our routine.
How long does it take me to get ready in the moring? Ready for what?
To work? Well, 20 minutes if I am doing my hair. Wash, towel dry while I put on make up which I have down to a fine art and takes about 1 minute, towel off hair, mousse, flip head upside down and defuse while scrunching . . . . vawalha! My wild look.
If its the weekend.. well cut 18 min off that. Pull hair up to back of head, add make up and go.
Don’t get me wrong. I look great. Its just that I been doin it for 38+ years, one way or another. I have it down!
Looking forward to interacting with my grand kids – they are great!
Get ready in the morning – between 20 – 40 min. Depending if I wash my hair or not.
