Weekly Giveaway is UP!

Hi there everyone! Happy, Happy Friday! I started working PART TIME this week and am over the moon about it!!! I was getting burned out from work and had been secretly dreaming of the day my boss would ask me to go part-time. The day finally came and on Monday, May 18th - I started work at 1pm instead of 10am! It's fabulous but it's going to take some time to get used to. So far this week, I've gone horseback riding almost every morning! I gave myself a break from the internet and just chilled... It was great. So now I'm back to give away a lovely necklace! I hope you like it. Guy made the lampwork disk bead from a dark, opaque turquoise along with light ivory glass. I wire wrapped it with sterling silver wire and hung it from a short, black leather necklace (16.5 inches long). It closes with a handy magnetic clasp. Have a look!

Our Weekly Giveaway is ready!

Here is this weeks giveaway!

A lovely, handmade glass bead necklace made by me and Guy!

Leave a comment below for your chance to win it!

We will be picking a random number from the comments on Tuesday, May 12th at 8pm!

We will email you if you are the winner! Thank you so much for stopping by our blog today. If this necklace was for sale in our Etsy shop, it would go for around $29. The necklace measures 20 inches long. The material is a nylon coated stainless steel. Very strong and almost invisible. We like this material because it lets the beads be the focal point of the piece. And of course we're all about the beads! The sterling silver wire wrapped pendant measures 2 inches long. I added a wonderful wooden bead to the handmade hollow glass bead. I also added Turquoise stones for more color. The little dragonfly wings at the bottom are fine silver from the Hill Tribes in Thailand. How we love Hill Tribe Silver! We also love how these hollow necklaces turned out! We hope you like them, too. :)

Enter now for your chance to win this unique piece of jewelry! Feel free to spread the word about our giveaway. The more entries, the merrier!

Hope you have a great day! Make sure you stop to smell the roses... or the lilacs in our case. They are blooming like crazy right now.

Take it easy,
Blanche and Guy
