Passion for Purple

I’m a purple person. I’m always immediately attracted to anything purple. Whether it’s flowers, clothes, jewelry, or paper – if it’s purple, I usually love it!

Because I design jewelry, I have to keep reminding myself that there are other colors and that many people love other colors!!!

So yesterday, when I decided to make a pendant necklace, what color do you think I made?

You guessed it — purple. I just couldn’t help it. The beautifully muted shade of matte metallic purple on the faceted beads mesmerized me! 🙂

Oh well, back to the drawing board. I’ll try again tomorrow for a different color . . .

Maybe I’ll just leave all of the purple beads in the drawer so I won’t be tempted! 😉

Giveaway – Butterfly Kisses Pendant

Greetings everyone!

Welcome to week eleven of the Monday Giveaways. Many of you have written to say that you’re having lots of fun with the giveaway questions. Me too! 🙂 I’ll be sure to keep ’em coming.

Your thoughtful, sweet, and sometimes hilarious answers are all very much appreciated. Please stop back during the week, when you can. You’ll find a variety of topics and, as always, I love hearing your comments and suggestions.

This week’s giveaway is a beautiful crystal pendant!

This delicate pendant features sparkling Swarovski crystals in luscious shades of lilac purple – with a gorgeous ‘butterfly’ shaped crystal as the focal point.

Perfect to remind you that Spring will be here, eventually!
It will, right? . . . RIGHT??? 😉

The generous bail is sterling silver and should fit many of the chains that you already own. Or, maybe you’ll place it on a silk or leather cord, or a piece of velvet ribbon for a look that’s trés chic! The Pendant measures 1-1/4″ long, including the bail.
