For this Thursday Giveaway, I wanted to do something special! I wanted to share a few things from the show with everyone out there in the blog world. This week, one lucky winner will take home a "post-Bead&Button Show" stash of beading components. The haul includes work from over nine different artists and comes from some of the top names in the jewelry-making industry! The retail value of this prize package is over $200 dollars and is made up mostly of artist-made beads. It even includes one each of the brand new designs from my family that are so new that they're not even on the website yet!

3. Pam Wynn and Heather Wynn-Millican
7. HumbleBeads
