I had the pleasure of watching the parade again last weekend after many many years of missing it!
(point of interest that will surely age me: the building behind the Clydesdale horses was my elementary school... in the back engraved into the stones above the doors were separate entrances for boys and girls! And there was a line down the middle of the playground that separated the girls and boys during recess too! hahahahah!)I made some little shamrocks for earrings and was tasked with making several more pairs for my Irish friends for next year's parade!
And just a few days before St. Patrick's Day, I got very lucky and won this amazing stash of beads from an Artbeads contest on Facebook!
Now I need to get busy using these great beads!
OMG You won? I have to FB friend you! I am on the Artbeads page as well and didn't put two & two together when I saw the winner's name! Congratulations! They have great stuff. They are located in Gig Harbor, WA, really near where I used to work but I don't think they have a brick & mortar store.
ReplyDeleteI love the earrings and bet you get lots of requests. Lucky you very cool win!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your big win! That looks like a great stash. LOVE those adorable clover earrings! I snickered at keeping boys and girls "separate"
ReplyDeleteI love those shamrock earrings!! And, congratulations on the win! That looks like a great stash. I remember boys and girls separate!!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shamrock earrings! I found you via the A-Z Blog Challenge and your CR (craft) notation. I've bookmarked your site--I'm a basic beader who hopes to get better, and you are providing inspiration! Good luck on the challenge.
