lemon yellow | Bead Happily Ever After

I’m back after a whirlwind of a weekend!

I hope all the Dads in your world had a very special Father’s Day.

Here at Bead Happily Ever After, we celebrated the event all weekend long.

On Saturday, we accompanied my 84 year-old Dad to a baseball game with his local team, and then topped that off with a delicious dinner.

The next day, Sir Beads (and I) spent quality time with our daughters. There was chatter, laughter, and more good food!

The weekend was over in a flash, though, and by Sunday night, we were pretty exhausted – but very happy, too!

We reminded ourselves how lucky we are to have had the chance to enjoy two days of happy moments with people we love. 😀 When you stop and think about it, nothing is more wonderful than that.

On to the Giveaway . . .

This week, I have a sweet pendant that will glisten in the summer sunshine!

My design features Vintage Swarovski crystals in a lovely, soft, shade of yellow, called “jonquil”. 🙂

All of the metal components are sterling silver. The little heart-shaped bail should fit one of the chains in your wardrobe, or maybe you’ll purchase a narrow length of satin cord and wear this pendant high on the neck for a look that is tres chic! Pendant measures 1-1/2″ from top to bottom.

Contest Rules and How To Enter

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 this week and comment on a different post – you will have earned another chance in this week’s giveaway! There are usually 4-5 posts per week – Monday through Friday – so you can have multiple chances to enter!

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:

Have you ever cried because you were so happy?

OK, on to this week’s giveaway!

This pretty pair of earrings remind me of a sunny day in summer!

They’re cool lemonade and refreshing key lime pie all rolled into one! The color is not quite yellow, not quite green, but that lovely lemon-lime shade, which is often referred to as “limon”.

They feature vintage Lucite beads that have a slightly twisted rectangular shape – very unique and oh so pretty! I’ve accented the Lucite beads with rare vintage Swarovski Jonquil Aurora Boralis crystals! You’ll notice tiny gold beadcaps for a finishing touch, and the 14k gold-plated earwires are beautifully made.

Measurements: Approximately 1-5/8″ in length, including the earwires
