Winning and Giving away

A few weeks ago, I entered a competition on Scarlett Butterflies blog and won. Below is a pic of the scrummy magnets I won and I have to say they are the strongest magnets on my fridge and are currently keeping all my little mans pics very firmly attached.

Go and check out Maria's shop as well, it is full of gorgeous girly gifts.

Well that's the winning, what about the giving I hear you shout??

I have decided it is time for another Beady Pool giveaway......but I can't decide what to give away. Should it be a bracelet, necklace, pendant or a pair of earrings??? I really can't decide.

So, as I can't decide - you can, this is what is up for grabs.

Either a bracelet and a pair of earrings, a pendant or a necklace along the theme of this and this. I don't have a pendant or bracelet to show you but they will be along the same theme of "He loves me". When you win, I will give you a choice of colours to choose from and I will then make your item and send it out. What more could you ask for?

So, what do you have to do??

Take a look around my website and my folksy shop and let me know which item you like the best and leave a comment below or on facebook or email it to me.

For a second chance to enter get a friend to either follow this blog or become a fan on facebook - let me know that they are your friend and you get another entry. Each new follower or fan is another entry.

Closing date is Saturday 31st October at 8pm.....so, what are you waiting for, get entering.

An the winner is....

Moira.

I can't work out how to show the random number generator thingy I used but I did use one. It came up with the number 10 and Moira was the 10th person to sign up to Beady Pool's facebook page.

The Flow pendant will be on it's way to you early next week. Thanks to all who have signed up and become fans of Beady Pool already. If you haven't, what are you waiting for? If we get near 100 I may just do another little giveaway.

Facebook freebie

Beady Pool now has a facebook page .

I am planning on uploading new photographs onto the Beady Pool page regularly as well as doing a few beady giveaways.

Here is the first, a gorgeous pendant featuring a teal green lampwork bead, turquoise stone rondelles and a sterling silver bicone. The pendant comes supplied with either a 16 or 18inch Sterling Silver snake chain.

If you fancy winning this gorgeous pendant all you have to do is go to the Beady Pool facebook page and become a fan - when Beady Pool has 50 fans then I will put those 50 names into a hat and pick a winner - simple as that. If it goes well I may do another at 100........

Catching Up

I've been a bit slack on the jewellery making front the past few days, I just seem to have been busy doing other things. Then again if i really wanted to make some I would have made some time :)

I did manage a couple of pieces, one with some lovely blue beads by Isabelle Anderson and the other a charm bracelet using a really summery set of beads by Angie Finn. I have named the latter Fresh as a Daisy, I think you may see from the pic below as to why! Really fresh summery colours and all those lampwork flowers.

Fresh as a Daisy

I took the plunge a while ago and joined facebook, but didn't do much about it. Kind of logged on, didn't upload a picture and then got a bit bored of it all. However earlier this week one of the lads I did physics with at uni managed to track me down. I did think that having a name like mine might make me easy to find, but it is surprising how many of us there are! Anyway found I have been and since then I have been a bit hooked. Finding the time to mail everyone back is proving time consuming, but I will get there at some time.

It's interesting finding out what people are up to - especially as most I haven't been in touch with for ten or so years - I look so young in some of those uni photos! Sadly though so far, only I have bought myself an alien for my solar system. Will try not to get too hung up on that matter.....off to cry over a cuppa :)
