The teardrop-shaped pendant has a copper-colored background that’s highlighted with swirling shades of blue, lavender purple, green, gold, and cream.

The pendant is suspended from a necklace of lavender metallic seed beads and sparkling Swarovski crystals in both lavender and amethyst.

Measurements:

The Necklace measures 17″ in length, and has a sterling silver clasp.

The Lampwork “Teardrop” Pendant measures 1-3/8″ from top to bottom.

Contest Rules and How To Enter

1. Leave a comment that mentions your pet peeve. For example mine is: I’m leaving a store and because I see someone else behind me, I pause in the doorway and hold the door open. I assume that this person will then reach out to put his or her hand on the door so I can let go and be on my way. But instead (and it seems to be happening a lot lately!) people just breeze by me without a word – as if I were their own personal door-holder! That bugs me!
Describe what bugs you 😉 and that will give you one chance to win.

2. For a second chance to win, leave a second comment that answers the question: When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper; put it in an envelope; put a stamp on it and mailed it?

3. For a third chance to win, leave a comment describing the last time you dressed fancy . . . What did you wear and what was the occasion?

**You can choose any one or all of the above chances to enter.**

A valid email address must be given at time of entry. You must be 18 yrs. old. The name of the winner will be added to this post after the completion of the contest and the winner will be notified by email. The prize will be sent by USPS First Class Mail. If no valid email address is given at time of entry, or if winner fails to respond to email within 3 days from the time notification email has been sent, the win will be null and void and a new winner will be chosen.

All entries must be received by 10:00 p.m. EST on 01/18/09, and the winner will be selected on or about 01/19/09.

Thanks for participating and Good Luck to all!

Giveaway: Vintage Lucite Necklace Set

Posted on by

I’m so glad that I’ve been offering these giveaways! It’s a wonderful way to “meet” you, hear your opinions, and learn what topics interest you most. If you’ve enjoyed another post on the blog, besides the weekly giveaway, please leave a comment on it, too!

This week’s giveaway is a Necklace Set!

Vintage moonglow lucite beads are the focal points here. The colors are mouth-watering shades of light violet and soft aqua! Please note that the aqua color is actually a little more blue than it appears in my photo.

This pretty set has a vintage look and a delicate weight. It’s perfect for anytime of the year, but especially nice in warm weather, when heavy fussy jewelry feels just too hot to wear!

The beads are such a sweet size – 9mm, or about the size of a pea! They are baroque-style, which means they are not perfectly round, but have tiny little dimples or indentations here and there – so cute! I have accented the Vintage Lucite Beads with Swarovski Crystals in coordinating shades of violet and aqua.

Measurements:
The Earrings measure 1-1/4″ in length, including the sterling silver earwires.
The Necklace measures 19″ in length, and has a textured toggle clasp.

Perfect for a gift . . . or maybe you’ll keep it for yourself? 😉

Contest Rules and How To Enter

1. Leave a comment naming a book you recommend. It can be one that you read a long time ago or something you are reading currently. That will give you one chance to win.

2. For a second chance to win, leave a second comment describing something you’ve made that you think turned out well. It can be an item you handcrafted – knit, crocheted, greeting card, art work/sketch, etc., or it can be a meal you made, or a letter or poem you wrote, or even the way you decorated a room in your home, or decorated your home for the holidays.

3. For a third chance to win, leave a comment on any OTHER post in the entire blog. Just look in the archives to find one that you like.

You can choose any one or all of the above chances to enter.

A valid email address must be given at time of entry. You must be 18 yrs. old.

To introduce new readers to our blog and new shoppers to our online bead store, we’re sponsoring a drawing for a pre-holiday give-away!!!

Winter Moon Bracelet in Royal Blue and Purple

Winter Moon Bracelet in Royal Blue and Purple

The prize is a beautiful handcrafted bracelet called “Winter Moon” (pictured above).

This bracelet features absolutely gorgeous Czech glass beads, which were made from vintage button molds!

The beads are a fabulous shade of blue – somewhere between cornflower and royal blue. They have a textured design of soft swirls on both sides, and an aurora borealis finish that flashes every color of a pastel rainbow!!

I’ve accented the “button” beads with Swarovski crystals in both tanzanite and burgundy ab x2, and tiny silver-lined glass seed beads.

The bracelet fastens with a very pretty silver-plated “toggle” clasp.

Measurements: approximately 7-1/2″ long, and 1/2″ wide.

It would make a lovely holiday gift, or perhaps you’ll keep it for yourself! 😉
