Giveaway – Spring Blossoms Pendant

Posted on February 22, 2010 by crystal

Hello, hello!

Welcome to my weekly giveaway!

Are you watching the Olympics? We’ve really been enjoying it! Of course, we love the figure skating, but we also watch as many of the other sports as we can, and find ourselves cheering enthusiastically for all of the countries! 🙂

For this week’s giveaway, I have a little “breath” of Spring. Can you picture this on one of your silver chains? Or maybe you’ll put it on a cord or a piece of satin ribbon!

A gorgeous artisan-crafted lampwork glass bead is the focal point here. It’s just bursting with pretty blossoms in a pastel palette of pinks, aqua, lavender, and more. I’ve accented the floral bead with Czech glass flowers and Swarovski crystals. The heart-shaped bail is sterling silver, and it’s generous enough that it should accommodate one of the chains that you have in your jewelry wardrobe. The pendant measures 1-1/2” in length – including the bail.

Giveaway – Royal Harlequin Earrings

Posted on January 26, 2009 by crystal

Hi everyone!

Welcome to week twelve of the Monday Giveaways.

This week I’d like to introduce a new element to the weekly contest questions!

We’ll have 2 regular questions – as usual – but for the third chance to win, I’m requesting one of your favorite recipes! Although I did ask for a recipe once before, in the early days of the blog, today I have a new idea for something fun to do with them! If you look to the right of this page, you’ll see a little “recipe box”. I would love to fill it with your favorites, so that everyone can view and enjoy them!

Don’t worry! I won’t be looking for new recipes each week. But, every now and then, one of the weekly giveaway questions might be a recipe request. I think it will be fun for all of us to have this new source for meal suggestions – especially for those days when we’re just “fresh out of ideas”!! 🙂

This week’s giveaway is a beautiful pair of lampwork earrings!

They feature gorgeous artisan-crafted lampwork beads with swirls of sapphire blue, aqua green, and twinkling strands of gold aventurine – which are hard to see in the photo but are so pretty and add a very delicate sparkle!

The lampwork beads are accented with Swarovski crystals in sapphire blue. All of the metal embellishments are gold vermeil or 14 kt. gold-filled.

For pierced ears, the earrings measure 1-3/8 inches in length including the 14 kt. Gold-filled earwires.

Contest Rules and How To Enter:

1. Leave a comment that answers the question: Do you carry anything with you for good luck? That will give you one chance to win.

2. For a second chance to win, leave a second comment that answers the question: What job would you have if you could have any one you wanted?

3. For a third chance to win, leave a comment with a recipe you like to make. For example: It can be something quick and easy (We all love those!). Or it can be more time-consuming if you think it’s really worth the extra time. Or maybe you have a favorite “family recipe” to share!

**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 02/01/09, and the winner will be selected on or about 02/02/09.

Thanks for participating and Good Luck to all!

The contest is closed.

The winner is Shelley K. Congratulations Shelley! Please check your email. I will be contacting you for your shipping address.
