My Giveaway Present...

I really hope you like them Ethel and Edna's Tearoom.

My 100th Post!

I have finally reached 100 posts, with these 'faux' turquoise ear-rings. I think the french word is meant to stop you remembering that they are really 'fake' turquoise! Still beautiful though, and I do love turquoise, faux or not!

AND THE WINNER IS...

Ethel and Edna's Tearoom! Well done...well, I hope you think so when you receive the prize! Let me know your email address and I will send you something. Please let me know what sort of thing you would like and a colour if appropriate! I look forward to hearing from you. I will also post on your blog.

My lovely, scrummy bead purchase...

OK, so I went a bit mad! But I just love them. They are from The Bead Merchant in Colchester.

Two pairs of ear-rings

I had to fiddle with my Mum's agate ear-rings as the pin had disappeared up the hole in one of the stones! Seeing as I had them at home again, I took a photo of the finished article. She says she loves them, and has worn them all the time since I gave them to her. Hopefully, now I have added a seed bead on the bottom, they should stay put! You live and learn don't you!

I also made a pair of rope stitch ear-rings in blacks, greys and silvers. They catch the light beautifully because of some fire-polished crystals and I am going to wear them tomorrow.

Pearl Loop-di-loop for my Mum

My mum loves her pearl lariat that I made her and asked for a matching bracelet. So here it is!

I have also added a picture of the alphabet stamps I bought for 99p each in The Range - bargain! You can see them in action on the cards a few posts below.

GIVEAWAY...

Seeing as my blog hits are nearing 1,000 and my posts are nearly at 100, I thought now was the time to do a giveaway. Ideas on what to give would be fantastic so please do give me ideas. I was thinking maybe a simple bracelet or a pair of dangly ear-rings. However, I would be happy to give away some cards too. So...please post.

When posting, please add your favourite book. Mine is Pride and Prejudice, closely followed by Sense and Sensibility.

A green version...

Another bracelet and some cards

These cards were made with the alphabet stamps that I bought in The Range. 99p for a whole alphabet...so I bought three!

The bracelet is similar to the other three. I am experimenting with different colours and hoping to sell some!!! Otherwise, I will be over-run with beautiful but unnecessary bracelets!
