Giveaway – Candy Corn Earrings

August Greetings! 😀

Don’t worry! There’s still lots of time left for summer fun.

But…. Autumn is definitely on the way, so my August Giveaway has a fall-ish theme!

“Candy Corn” Earrings

DSCN4561

I’ve chosen some of my favorite beads for this design – they have sort of a subtle Autumn/Halloween flavor. Wouldn’t they be pretty to wear with a jacket done in earth tones?

The pumpkin-colored teardrop beads are Vintage Moonglow Lucite, and the very unique “candy corn” beads are Vintage Czech Glass (If you enjoy making jewelry, too, the candy corn beads are currently available in my bead shop).

The earrings measure a bold and beautiful 3″ in length – including the artisan-crafted earwires, which are sterling silver.

Contest Rules and How to Enter:

You can have multiple chances to enter!
Any day you leave a comment on this blog – it is counted as a chance to enter the current giveaway.

For example, if you answer today’s question (you’ll find it below!) that will give you one chance.

But if you then come back another day and comment on a different post – you will have earned a second chance! Visit again and comment and you’ll have 3 chances, and so on.

(When you comment, you do not have to mention that it’s an entry in the giveaway. My blog program shows me all of the “comments” as they come in – so I do not miss any of them, and all will count to be entered into the drawing!) 😀

Today’s question is:

Describe the closest thing to you, right this minute, that is red? (You might have to leave the room to find it.)

My answer: I love bright colors so I figured I would have something here on my computer desk, but nope! I finally spied my little red retractable tape measure on a shelf across the room! 🙂

Giveaway – Violet Dawn Pendant

smallwitchWelcome to my weekly giveaway!

It’s Halloween week and maybe YOU’LL be the winner of this jewelry “TREAT” 😀

Speaking of Halloween reminds me of pumpkins!!! Have you tried Edy’s Pumpkin Ice Cream, yet? It’s made with real pumpkin and spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. We had some this week and give it a definite thumbs-up. But hurry! This is a “limited edition” flavor that will be in stores only through November!

Now, on to the Giveaway! 😀

Today, I have a lovely pendant with shades of lavender purple and swirls of raspberry-pink.

Violet Dawn Pendant

The focal point is a vintage West German Glass Teardrop bead, which is accented with sparkling Swarovski crystals. The pendant is suspended from an artisan-crafted sterling silver bail that should accommodate most chains in your collection. Or perhaps you’ll wear it on a leather or satin cord!

Measurements: approximately 2-1/4″ long – including the sterling silver bail.

Contest Rules and How To Enter

This week, you will have up to three (3) chances to enter the weekly giveaway.

Leave a comment answering the first weekly question:

What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up today? 🙂

2nd Chance:

Leave a comment answering the second weekly question:

I asked my daughter if she could think of a question for us this week. She winked and then suggested the following: “When was the first time you were in trouble at school? What did you do? And what was your punishment?” (In tomorrow’s post, I will give HER answer and also my own!)
