Now that Jessica's new earrings are on their way to East Rochester, it's time to unveil the pair I'll be giving away in September. Giving away a pair of earrings on the last day of each month is my way to give thanks for all the goodness that comes my way ... and have some fun besides.
So, here we GO. Ready?
This month, one lucky winner will receive a pair of 'Be Happy' earrings (click photo to enlarge). They're made with ruby red Czech pressed glass and Bali silver beads, on sterling silver wires.
The reason they're called 'Be Happy' is that they were made to match this 'Be Happy' necklace with a smiling Buddha pendant. He looks pretty happy to me ... maybe it's the eyes. While making several of these necklaces a few weeks ago, I kept hearing Bobby McFerrin singing 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' in my head, so that's how the necklace got its name.
Come on, I dare you not to hear that song in your head now.
So, what do you have to do for a chance to win? Simple. Just be on my mailing list as of 5 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time on Sunday, Sept. 30. If you've joined previously, your name is already in the hat. If you haven't signed up yet, though, now's your chance. Go here and enter your email address to be added, and I'll put your name in the hat. Tell your friends to join, too, and their names will go in the hat, as well. It's a big hat. Well, okay, more like a glass fishbowl. I suppose that could be a hat after a few glasses of wine.
On the evening of Sept. 30, I'll have an innocent bystander (a.k.a., my sweetie, John) stick his hand in the bowl and pull out a name. Maybe it'll be yours.
(I would have one of our dogs do it, but ... you know ... no opposable thumbs ... so we would be there all night.)
