Last weekend I was browsing (drooling) through handmade beads components on ETSY. I was trying SO hard to be good, as I need to be making more of my own beads. But of COURSE, I came across some really cool "shards" by Marsha Neal, and knew I had to have some. Then I saw this "rugged star" and decided I "needed" it, too.. I behaved and stopped there.
To my surprise, I received an e-mail from Marsha on Monday telling me I'd won her weekend giveaway, and could pick out another $50.00, in merchandise!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!
Now THAT'S how Mondays are supposed to be!!!! I was so busy shopping (drooling) on her site, I didn't even notice the giveaway!!! I was SO excited!!! I dove right in and picked out my merchandise. This is the LOVELY package that greeted me today.
Here is her beautiful postcard... (Makes me realize I really need to re-do mine!!)
And along with the post card was this cute little box.
And inside the box were these cute little individually wrapped treasures.....
YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't wait to use these!! Thanks again Marsha! You made my week!!!!! These pieces are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I especially love the "rustic" 1/2 moon... it looks like old metal!! There is just NOTHING like handmade!!! These little pieces of art are going to truly enhance whatever I make.

Congrats!
Congreats!!!! Marsha's flowers are just awesome! You have great taste in your picks you got. I just purchased some great hand dyed silks from her. They are wonderful and come in such beautiful earthy colors with a pop of bright color here and there in a bunch. Love them!
Congrats on your win!! Love what you picked out too! I'm jealous, of course (LOL), but on my way to check out her shop!
One word JEALOUS!!!!!!!! What awesome yummies!
Sounds like you hit the jackpot!!! Marsha is as talented an artist as she is a wonderful person :O) I love following her adventures on facebook.....
Fantastic!!
Kelli - I'm so excited that you won the drawing! And didn't even know there was one going on…
Thanks for sharing pics of your winnings on the LMAJ blog too - you're too kind with your words about my pieces. Although I do love the way that half-moon crusty porcelain piece does look and feel like old rusted metal. I think a piece like that would make it's way into a mixed media piece vs an up against your skin piece of jewelry - but that's probably just me ;)
Can't wait to see what you make with these! Let me know (send me pics) and I'll blog about them to continue this chain of blog posts…
Thanks everyone!
Congrats!!! I cannot wait to see what you create with them!
I was just noticing some great earings in the summer issue of Stringing magazine that had her beads featured in them. Because of your post I recognized them right away! Lucky lady!!
congratulations! who doesn't love marsha's work??!
What a great way to start the week! I hope that the rest of your week continued along the same vein.
Lucky girl! Congratulations!
