Beautiful beads from a talented blogger...



A short time ago I was lucky enough to win a wonderful giveaway hosted by Kathi @ caretobead.blogspot.com. This was a true double header giveaway. Not only was I able to pick the color of my beautiful ring but as part of the giveaway I was also able to have one sent to one of my best friends who loves the color purple. THANK YOU Kathi.

The packaging is just lovely. The filigree ring came in a little brown box stamped with a cute little bird and wrapped with a green bow. Inside the box nestled on a little straw birds nest sits a cute drawstring pouch with the little bird stamped logo. Within this little pouch held my prize. I had picked a beautiful orange cut flower ring. My photo does not do the ring justice so please go to her etsy shop http://gineroni1.etsy.com and also her blog http://caretobead.blogspot.com to view her amazingly beautiful vintage creations. You will not be disappointed.

What better way to start your Christmas in July shopping then from the comfort of your own chair in your air conditioned home by ordering some vintage jewelry from Kathi?
All the money you will save on gas can be used to purchase an extra piece of jewelry just for yourself and honestly don't we all deserve some pretty jewelry?

    Ooooh! I like the ring... lucky you! But a gecko under your over... eek! You MUST blog about that! And I will post about the snake that came up my water heater drain that the silly plumber forgot to cover! I still shudder when I open that closet. Put that oven on self clean and maybe you can have FRIED gecKo for supper!

    Hi Joyce,
    Thanks for stopping by and leaving the nice comment. I've been checking out some of your cooking posts --- everything looks and sounds wonderful! I hope you'll try your hand at a tablescape sometime. Some of the nicest I've seen use simple dishes, but focus on colorful combinations (and I've noticed people are mostly interested in what's ON the plates ... mine are usually bare ...). ;)

    Have a great weekend!

    Bill

    Go to Lowes and buy some sticky traps. I use them for spiders but have caught a couple of mice too. When the dog stepped on one, I heard a huge flopping sound but she escaped somewhat traumatized. The traps are very effective. Elizabeth's NYC landlord uses them but even a stuck mouse freaks her out, country girl that she is. Wait til the gecko dies to remove him or touch a stick to the trap... it will get stuck and you can carry it all outside... am I heartless or what??? That gecko on TV is kind of cute:)
