congrats, final Etsy purchases (for now)

The EBW October Challenge Super Power Jewelry was a tie! Congratulations to both the winners: AngelqueCreations with her Cuff of Power (which sold!) and SmadarsTreasure with her Black Spider Woman Necklace! The November Challenge Beauty of the Flower is already underway. :)

I received my final Etsy purchases (for now) at the end of this week. The first was the cell phone cozy that I originally posted when I made my Etsy wish list here, except that Juliette (thefinickystitcher) was so kind to make me one in chocolate brown. I love it!

I also received my first set of beads from Jennifer (theblueseraphim). I have admired her shop for over a year but had never purchased anything before now. It was VERY tough to decide on one item, but I finally settled on this black and periwinkle set. I was not disappointed. As with many Etsy creations, they looked even more beautiful in person than they did on the web site. She included a coupon for a free glass ruffle pendant necklace with all the orders she received while she was on vacation. I've still been contemplating a custom order with her so I may put that in while I can still use my coupon (it's good through Nov. 10).

October EBW Challenge, new listing, Etsy purchase

The October EBW Challenge Super Power Jewelry voting is up and running! You can vote on the EBW blog from today through October 15. http://etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/ The entries are wonderful as always.

I listed another button embellished right angle bracelet tonight. I'd like to do a remake of my red and purple button embellished design next.

I got the first of several recent Etsy purchases in the mail today. It is this wonderful wristlet from Janine King Designs. I prefer to carry a small purse and was in need of a new one. I have had a hard time finding something small, but this one is perfect. Yes, I really will be able to fit everything that I need into this bag. It is VERY well constructed. The padding is amazing, and the zipper is very securely attached. I am confident that it will have a long life span.

I finished my bright red and orange leafy bracelet that I posted the sneak peak of earlier this week. Hopefully I will get some good lighting this weekend to take pictures of it.
