Random Giveaway!
I have two items to giveaway today and both were made and donated by the wonderful Aukquill.
The first item, shown in the top photo, is a bracelet made of metal barrel shaped beads in copper, gold and silver colors. The beads have a repeating raised “S” pattern and a light covering of black finish in the indented areas. The internal circumference (distance around the wrist) is about 7.5 inches.
The second item, shown in the lower photo, is a pair of earrings for pierced ears. They have a flat round silver colored outer bead with a pearl suspended in the center and silver color hooks. (I have two identical pairs of these to give away.)
These items are not likely safe for people with metal allergies.
To enter, please reblog or answer and tell me two things:
- Which item you’d like to receive if you win.
- A random fact that you find interesting. The more obscure, the better. 🙂
I’ll draw winners tomorrow, Feb. 10th, around noon ET. Open to followers worldwide.
I’d like the bracelet, since I don’t have pierced ears.
During World War Two, Girl Guides in the UK were tasked with collecting thousands of empty wooden thread spools, and until recently, no one in the general public knew why. The recycled spools were used to pass information to POWs. The core had a thin piece of paper wrapped around it with the messsages on it, then the spools were refilled with thread. The thread was then included in care packages to imprisoned servicemen. Source: Jambusters by Julie Summers
