Giveaway – Desert Sun Earrings

Posted on by

Hello Kids! 🙂

We made some good progress on our spring/summer chores this weekend but whew! – it’s been awfully muggy here in New England. And, truth be told; Lady Crystal is kind of a big baby when it comes to humidity. 😉

Luckily, the forecast for the next several days is for more comfortable weather. I’m a happy camper, again!

This week’s giveaway is so, so pretty!

A photo just can’t capture the gorgeous sparkle on this sweet pair of earrings. I used some very special vintage Swarovski components for my design.

You’ll notice faceted oval crystal drops, which are channel-set in gleaming gold-plated metal. For accents, I’ve added glittering (and rare) Swarovski crystal rounds in Lt. Topaz Aurora Borealis. The rounds are interesting in that the top and bottom of the beads gradually form a more pointed shape. Flirty and fabulous, these earrings measure 1-5/8” long, including the 14K gold-plated earwires.

Today’s question is:

Which household chore do you dislike the most?

My answer . . .
I would have to say, dusting, although it’s become easier since the invention of the “Swiffer” (That little cloth really grabs the dust!) I think my main problem is that I have little collections of teacups, dolls, and small figurines – so dusting seems to take – forever! 😉

Welcome back Kids!

How was your weekend? 😀

Sir Beads and I enjoyed ours. It was the perfect blend of rest, chores, and fun with the family.

Some of my happiest moments as a child were spent with a small plastic bottle of watery liquid soap and a bubble wand. What bliss it was to to sit on our front steps, and dreamily blow strings of colorful bubbles! Magic, for sure!

This week’s giveaway features gorgeous Czech glass beads that bring back memories of those iridescent bubbles and how they glinted in the sunshine!

I’ve added limited edition Swarovski crystals that coordinate beautifully with the “bubble” beads! All findings are sterling silver, including the artisan-crafted ear wires. Overall length is 1-1/2″.

The Czech Republic. We went to visit our daughter who was there for a study-abroad semester during her junior year of college. The architecture, especially in Prague, is absolutely beautiful and the food was so delicious!

Giveaway – I Feel Pretty Earrings

Posted on by
13

If it’s Monday, it must be time for my weekly giveaway and a new question, too!

But first, a bit of trivia . . . 😉

You may not believe it… but I, Crystal, – lover of all beads, baubles and bling – will sometimes skip wearing a necklace and/or bracelet during the hottest days of summer!

I know!!! I can hear you gasping. lol

I must admit I feel a little bare without a few of pieces of jewelry, but if it’s terribly muggy, I opt for earrings only – so in that case – they have to be noticeable.

This week’s giveaway is a good example . . .

They’re showy enough to add some pizzazz to your outfit on a day when the weather has you feeling as wilted as a dishrag! 😉

I’ve used bright, summery colors and a variety of vintage and contemporary glass beads, with Swarovski crystal accents. All findings are sterling silver. The earrings measure 2-1/4″ long (including the artisan-crafted, sterling silver ear wires).

Today’s question is:

What is the dumbest thing you’ve ever seen someone do?

My answer would be…
One lovely summer day, as we were working in our yard, we saw our neighbor jump onto his son’s tiny tricycle. The man is about 6 ft. tall, and his knees were up to his chin as he wobbled for balance . . . and then proceeded to pedal as fast as he could! Within seconds, the tricycle toppled over and he landed in a heap on the ground. He had broken his ankle!

We drove him to the emergency room and he came home on crutches. We felt sorry for him, but couldn’t help wondering – what on earth was he thinking to try something so dumb?
