Another Check off the List :)

So whilst I have been shrivelling and sickening, the cosmos (and one lovely Laura Sparling) have been hard at work getting another List item crossed off with minimal effort from me. Happy news! Remember I posted about Laura's Lonelies Giveaway?? Well, get this - I WON.
I do not win stuff, okay? This is so unbelievably unlikely that I actually thought someone was playing an elaborate and cruel prank on me. But no, it seems that I actually have won something, and it's really rather a beautiful prize! I can't wait to receive the beads and touch them and play with them. It might be a while but I will be sure to do them justice as best I can and give them happy homes in pretty pieces. Thanks again Ms. Sparling :)

Giveaway Goodies :)

Just a quick heads up to my beady friends out there about two lovvvely giveaways about!

First of all the genius with glass that is Laura Sparling has cleared out her jar of top-quality lonelies and is offering up these beauties:

So to be in with a chance of winning get yourself over to her bloggy world at Beads by Laura, read the post and follow the rules! Ends 7pm Friday 4th June, UK time.

And also sharing the love is Anne at Gardanne Glass Beads...To celebrate her 300th sale (wahoo!) she is giving away a beautiful glass focal bead, as well as some others in glass and enamel, like these babies:

She'll be picking her winner at 9am this Friday (May 28th), though I think she is across the pond she hasn't mentioned a limit on where entrants can be from so fingers crossed.

Good Luck :)
