Giveaway!!! Last one for the Year!

As I typed the title to my blog post, I realized how close to the Year 2014 we are...WOW!  It seems the older I get, the faster time flies.  Sigh.

I have so much to be grateful for...my family, my health, blah...blah.  Most importantly, I am grateful that I have been able to donate much of my proceeds from my jewelry sales to Miracle Horse Rescue.  Since doing this, making jewelry has given me a passion that I never possessed before.  It was a hobby before - and now it has purpose.  

So, thank you for supporting me!  

The Giveaway
I recently ordered the most fabulous lampwork beads from RadiantGlassWorks on Etsy (not to be confused with Radiant Minds / Beads and Botanicals, though another fabulous shop).  Anyhow, I went back to her shop and it is now closed (so sad!), so no link for you!  Anyway, they were made with the most fabulous cranberry colored glass, encased in clear.  


These are tiny little beads packed with a punch of color!  So, I made some sterling silver hoops from 16 gauge wire, made a head pin of fine silver in 18 gauge, and some Argentium Silver Ear wires in 20 gauge - 3 kinds of silver in one earring!

I made a pair and listed them in my shop and I loved them so much, I made another pair for this giveaway!




The hoops have been hammered for great texture, oxidized, buffed, tumbled FOREVER, and buffed again!  They measure 2" in length and are so lightweight and comfortable to wear!  

How to Enter
I keep trying to think of more ways for you to enter, so this is what I have today:

Three ways to enter!
1. Leave a comment on this blog post - equals 1 entry
2. Post a link to this blogpost on Facebook - equals 1 entry
3. Pin an item from my Etsy shop to your Pinterest Board - equals 1 entry

For each task above, you must leave a separate comment on my blog!  I will pick a winner sometime on Sunday - December 8.

Thanks for stopping by...best of luck!

    I pinned the Love Until Infinity bracelet. Then because I couldn't resist, I pinned the three animal print beads with the two different kinds of links chain. I loved seeing all the Cindy Wimmer inspired links in your shop. They are so perfect! I have the book and wire work is number one on my practice list! http://www.pinterest.com/oldworldart/jewelry/

    My precious friend, you are right, you have defined your purpose, and you are exploding with success! Which wouldn't happen if you weren't also such a fantastic designer. I have been in such awe over the beautiful pieces you keep creating, and I'm not too proud to jump in on this very cool giveaway!

    Pinned this baby. You know how when you are pinning something, it will go to the last board you pinned to? Well 'Extreme Chocolate' popped up when I was pinning these, and I almost pinned them there anyway, cause they remind me of the rich goodness of chocolate! http://www.pinterest.com/pin/115123334198628938/

    Miracle Horse Rescue must be so glad to have such a generous donor! You are so sweet and compassionate- if only the world had more like you.

    I always enjoy seeing your finished pieces on FB- your wire work, the beautiful patina on your metals and the beautiful shine and not to forget all the gorgeous lampwork beads you use.
