Bead Porn from the Intergalactic Bead Show in Chesapeake

Gunmetal chain in two different link styles

Black square glass beads

Kazuri Beads made by women in Africa 

 Paper beads from Project Have Hope

A cross my husband picked out for himself
(he thought it was masculine)

I thought I did pretty well at not buying a ton of stuff and getting some pieces that will add interest. Bead shows are dangerous...but so much fun!!

A Giveaway for a Good Cause

Lori Anderson is offering an amazing give away in support of Kimberly Willcox. Kimberly's studio was tragically destroyed in an electrical fire. And Lori along with other artists are trying to help.

Giveaway # 2 - Beads

********Giveaway is Closed********

Ok so I had planned on getting this out yesterday but my camera and I are battling...and sadly I think it is winning. More specifically I think it is dying. But I digress...on to the fun stuff. The beads...

It is a collection of lamp worked beads in greens and blues. There are 15 lamp worked beads total. The green ones have flowers and leaves on them and the blue ones have dots. They are fun and beautiful beads. I'm also including a turquoise focal bead and four red beads that my brother bought me in NY. I love them they are stunning beads. I think the lamp worked beads would be a beautiful spring bracelet or necklace. And the turquoise and red beads would make a stunning necklace.

Because of the delay in posting I'm extending the deadline on this giveaway.

The deadline for this giveaway is Thursday, September 2nd. Good luck!!

Bead Giveaway

I promise before I go to bed tonight the bead giveaway will be up. I'm having some issues with my camera....

Give Away # 1 - Fabric

***** Giveaway is closed *****

So this is my first step in giveaways. So I'm starting out small...and I'm doing three separate giveaways. One today, one tomorrow, and one on Thursday. Here are the rules details...

• You can enter one or all three of the giveaways.
• Please post a comment on the post for the giveaway you would like to enter. 
• For an extra entry blog (or tweet or Facebook) about this giveaway (please post another comment).
• For another extra entry follow my blog or let me know if you already do (please post another comment).
• You will have one week to enter for each drawing.
• To be fair...you can only win one of the giveaways.

So here is the first giveaway....

Two pieces of Halloween Fabric! 

I love this fabric but since I don't have kids and don't make costumes or other Halloween things I decided I'd share them with someone who could and would use them. (As I post this...I think they would make up into cute trick or treat bags...)

Each piece is approximately one yard of fabric. One is an orange fabric with multi-eyed spiders and spider webs. The other is a purple fabric with cats, pumpkins, and moons. Both are good quality quilting cotton. Neither have been pre-washed.

Deadline to enter this giveaway is 6:00 PM on Tuesday, August 31st.

Come back tomorrow for the bead giveaway!
