2ndhandrose

Thanks to Heather, last night we got my Etsy shop up and

running. A new banner and avatar was created and its they

are fine looking if I do say so myself. For the rest of this

month I am offering free shipping with each purchase.

Please go and check it out, I am excited to see it happen!

Thanks again Heather for your generous time and help.

Have I got your attention? Giving away...

Ok everyone, I have something fun to give away! (Wicked fun!)

Carolyn Driver from Blue Heeler Glass sent some beads

my way. I have been buying her beads for a long time, back

when she and her husband Chuck were living in Alaska...

1998 or so. Anyway these little beauties are here for your

taking. And I'm holding them in my hand just loving the

summer colors!

Carolyn had titled this series Calypso...so I did a little research

and found some things I really didn't know. Calypso was a

sea nymph in Greek Mythology, the daughter of Atlas.

She desired to make Odysseus (Ulysses) her immortal

husband. She bore him two children, but had to release

him when Zeus told her too, so he could return to his wife.

So with that little bit of information for you to think on,

here is how you can go about getting these beads.

All I would like you to do is leave a comment and a link

to your blog showing this give away. I will draw a random

number on Friday May 22. Good luck to everyone!

Thanks Lori for your help!
