weekly questions | Bead Happily Ever After

Favorite Commercial

Posted on February 15, 2011 by crystal

Tuesday Greetings!

How about a weekly question? 🙂

Actually, I have 2 questions . . .

1. What is your favorite TV commercial? (currently or from the past.)

2. What commercial do you dislike the most?

My Answers:

I love the E-Trade commercial with the baby called “Solitary”! (Click here to see it.)

I truly dislike the Piggy GEICO commercial. (See it here.) The sound is grating – even if I’m not in the room while it’s on! Cute idea maybe, but it should be MUCH shorter!

I can’t wait to read your answers!

And remember, if you have a question that you’d like me to ask the whole group in a future post, just email it to:

Hugs,

Questions x2

Sometimes, you may be thinking . . .

“Hey Crystal – let’s hear YOUR answers to these darn questions!”

The truth is I do get requests for that from time to time, so here are my answers for this week. 😀

1. Do you remember the first movie that you ever saw in a theater? What was it?

Yes! It was Cinderella and it’s been my favorite children’s movie ever since. I was probably in kindergarten at the time and my father took me to see it. Mum was home with a couple of babies. I do remember that she and I went to the theater another time, so they must have taken turns babysitting.

As many of you have mentioned, “the movies” were such a big deal back then! When I was in grade school, my sisters and I would often spend a whole Saturday afternoon at the local theater, where for 35 cents you could see two full-length movies and a few cartoons. And you didn’t need to take out a mortgage to buy candy or popcorn!

2. Describe the set of dishes that you use everyday. What color are they? Do they have a design on them? Do you like them?

I’ve been through a few sets of dishes since I first got married, but the ones I use right now are by Corelle in the “French Lilacs” pattern. I love the fact that they’re durable, yet lightweight.

Asking this question has reminded me that I have 4 place settings of stoneware that I loved at first, but have since let stay at the back of the cupboard. They’re very heavy to handle when you’re lugging several of them at once from table to dishwasher to cabinet.

The pattern is “Garden Party” by Pfaltzgraff. They really are very pretty . . . maybe I’ll switch to them again for a while! It will be good for my biceps! 😉

Giveaway – “Lime Cooler” Earrings

Posted on May 4, 2009 by crystal

Hi there, and welcome to the weekly giveaway! This may be the week you win!

The prize is a summery pair of earrings in a cool and refreshing shade of lime sherbet green. They’d be perfect for a garden party, a day by the pool, or any time you’d like to be just a little flirty! 🙂

These “Lime Cooler” Earrings feature gorgeous Vintage Lucite flat teardrop-shaped beads that have pearlized swirls on their surface – much like mother of pearl. To complement the vintage lucite, I’ve added adorable Czech flower beads, Swarovski peridot crystals and Czech glass rondelles in lime green. The earrings measure a very showy 2-1/4 inches long, including the graceful 14k gold plated earwires.
