Thursday Giveaway...

This week, one lucky winner will claim the prize of a set of six lampwork glass beads that come courtesy of Raida Disbrow of Havana Beads. Aren't they fun? These lentil-shaped beads have a wild animal print paired with an earthy green. I love the organic pattern and rich colors. I could see these used in a hundred different ways. They'd be killer in a jungle-inspired bracelet or incorporated into a woven hemp necklace! For more examples of Raida's work, check out her blog by CLICKING HERE or swing by her Etsy shop by CLICKING HERE.

To win these lovely glass beads, all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post. It couldn't be easier! One lucky winner will be randomly selected from the comment section of this post on Tuesday (November 16th) at midnight EST. Please leave your name and contact information if it doesn't already appear next to your comment. This giveaway is open to all participants, including international readers!

Bonus Points: Do you really want this set of lentil-shaped beads? If so, you can earn additional entries by blogging, updating your Facebook page, and/or Twittering about this Thursday Giveaway. Don't forget to add your act of social media kindness as a SEPARATE comment to this blog post for your extra shot at this set of glass lovelies.
