Patty is Nice

Just wanted to say congratulations to Patty Szymkowicz of Magpie's Nest who was the winner of the give-away sponsored by Susan and Kat Reaney of Katsui and me. 

Thank you Patty for your lovely thank you. I appreciate your gratefulness! Also, thanks for the pictures, they are so lovely, I am using them here!

I Hooked Up 'Cause I Give It Away

Last year I met this Minnesotan gal I just really liked. Then we got all bloggy up in here. Now we are buddies and incahoots.

Wow.

No idea why I am writing like that.

Suz over at Katsui is my friend. We thought, being of the jewelry persuasion, we would do a joint give-away. I sent her this...

And she and her groovy little daughter came up with some earrings to accompany this choker necklace.

And we three girls are giving it away!

The necklace and earrings, I mean, you knew that right?

To qualify, leave a comment here or on the Katsui post.

Give-away ends Friday 29 October.

Thanks so much Kat and Suz!!!!

Peace ya'll!!!

Not Enough

Thank you is not enough to express my gratitude for a lovely post on Katsui the blog hosted by Susan Reaney and her daughter, Kat. Their blog is about their lives and love for jewelry repurposed from vintage elements.

The did a post called A New Talent about my soldered charm necklaces.

A very real compliment since jewelry is the kind of thing they do...

Here is Katie and this joyous necklace I have been looking at too many times to feel comfortable admitting.

I met Suz last November at Silver Bella. I can pick a Minnesotan out of a crowd let me tell you. I was immediately drawn to her. We have become good friends through our blogs and emails. I cannot wait to see her in at Silver Bella this year. She has a monstrous hug coming her way.

You can find their lovely pieces at Katsui.  We will be hosting a little joint give-away soon as well, so stay tuned for that.

Even though thank you is not enough, Susan and Katie, I will say it anyway...thank you, thank you, thank you...
