This week, one lucky winner will win five Czech glass "shortie" strands courtesy of Raven's Journey! The strands include a nice range of sizes, shapes and colors. Speaking of color, I absolutely adore the rich, vibrant saturation. The beads are so luscious! The picture doesn't do them justice! Raven's Journey makes some of the best Czech glass; they always have a unique selection that I haven't seen anywhere else!
To enter to win these brilliant Czech glass beads, all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post. One winner will be randomly selected from the comment section of this blog post on Monday (May 31st) at midnight EST. Make sure to leave your name if it doesn't already appear next to your comment.
Those are some gorgeous looking Czech beads. I will have to check out the website Raven's Journey and see what other types of beads they have.
ReplyDeleteYou have the most wonderful giveaways!

Aren't the folks at Raven's great?

ReplyDeleteMy first reaction to these beads was "Mmmmmmmmm". They are beautiful!

Yes, they are a beautiful grouping of beads as everyone else has said. I find them to be rich, royal colors, suitable for any season or occasion, dress them up or down, they work to make you look good and feel good. Beads can change a mood of ordinary, into extraordinary, simply by your own designs. Unique creations blended with the generosity of others make the best creations to wear and share. I would love to have these to work with, thanks for the offer. Enjoy the holiday and upcoming summer inspiration! Chris khakit@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteGorgeous beads. I'd love to work with them.
