GETTIN' BUSY

I am really enjoying my new work area, not to mention a little time off from my job :)  Here are some earrings I made for my etsy shop and today was photos and posting all day.



While some of us just slept in our favorite little bed...

RE-POST OF A GREAT BEAD GIVEAWAY...

This is from Barbara Lewis you have to check out this amazing book and get a chance to win these fabulous beads:  Torch-Fired Enamel Jewelry this is the link to amazon, it was already on my wish list.

I'm giving away a set of beads (valued at over $75).  The best part is that you get to pick your color.  Just let us know if you want them as they are ... or possibly in pink, red, dark green, a robin's egg blue, black, navy ... you name it, we'll make it!


Here's what you have to do ... visit Amazon, take a "Look Inside", click on the "Liked" button, post the contest on your blog and become a follower ... if you aren't already. :-)   But don't forget to come back here and leave a comment on my blog so I can enter you in the drawing. We'll be announcing the winner next Tuesday at this time!

I love giving gifts ... and thank you in advance for helping me to get the word out about my book.   :-)

YEA!!! I have my very own work space

I have been looking into getting a jewelers bench but just was not sure what I really wanted or needed.  Well the other day while out shopping I made a wrong turn and came across a thrift store.  I found this old vanity that someone revamped  into a nice solid table hence my perfect new work space.  The top extends out which is great for my clamp-on tools, large drawers, metal edge so no roll-aways, very heavy no wobbles when hammering and even a cubby for a bead tray. 

I am loving this $28.00 bargin...
