SHARING GIVEAWAY 2

So today is the day- for my 2nd giveaway in my "One Great Year of Sharing"!!!
I made only a few of these- and would love to give one away.  It is one long strand of vintage beads- approximately 7 feet in length!!



All the beads are vintage- a mix of beads from the 30's through the 70's- hand strung by me from my uber collection of vintage beads.  There is a tiny hook on one end- so you can hang it anywhere you want, or loop it around stuff...It will add an eclectic touch of fun to any room!!

                                                use your imagination!!!


To be this weeks winner- please leave a short comment about what you think you might do with it, or what it would be fun for- and tomorrow at 12pm CST (Monday/Labor Day) my son Gramm will pick the winner!!!
Gramm is genious at creative play and ideas, so I know he'll pick a great winner!!

                                      OK- send me your comments!

  2. Okie doke Gramm, I was thinking that maybe I would like your little child bust that you have in your house to pass along those beads to my buddha bust that I have in my house. You can see him here:

    Buddha or bust!

    I would keep them with me always and even bring them back to Italy with me, across the ocean, and people will say, "Cosa perline belle. Tali bei branelli." Or something like that!

  3. This would make a great leash for my imaginary dog. His name is Belly Button and I like to take him on walks throughout the house. Right now, I use whatever ribbon or yarn I can find from my mom's arts and crafts projects, but these beads would make my pooch super yappy happy.

  4. I WANT THESE BEADS!!!! I have been a fan of vintage pieces for years, and I love to take apart old vintage jewelry and then use them to create new pieces! These beads we be an awesome addition to new necklaces, bracelets, and earrings! That way, they would be shared with lots of people!

    P.S. I love your blog Dionna! You look fabulous!

  5. OK!!!! We have a winner!! At first Gramm said the imaginary dog was funny, but then he said the idea that they could also be taken apart and made into lots and lots of new jewelry was good for recycling, so RACHEL SAUTER- You are the winner!!!

    I will contact you----thanks everyone for commenting this week, and stay tuned each Sunday for more goodies.

    xoxo
