ReplyDeleteIb really love the bezel that is being given away.
Regarding my fav bead from her Website, the Hilton Head Blue Mini Lentil is the one.

I love the Mango Mini beads. I added this current giveaway to my list. That resin bead is a great piece.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Coral Sparkle Surprise!! I love all the different shades and not knowing exactly what shades your going to get is makes it really fun!!
ReplyDeleteHow the heck are we supposed to pick just one thing? She makes such awesome beads. I have it narrowed down to two: the Terrazo beads or the Wasabi Rakus.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen anything quite like the Hilton beach lentils.Truly beautiful and a work of art!
ReplyDeletePlease count me in on this generous giveaway!Warmest Regards,Cat
I *love* the colors in the Copper Waves beads: http://www.suebead.com/catalog.php?item=182
ReplyDeletebut oh my goodness I have never seen anything like the Hilton Head minis!
What an amazing giveaway! And pick just one item from her site??? okay...how about 2? I love the minis...so cute and classic. But I also love the Hilton Head Beach Lentils. A-maze-ing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. Sue has such awesome beads... My favorite is the Silvered Aqua Terra but the Wasabi Raku is coming a close second.
ReplyDeleteCobalt Sky
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a necklace with those beads. Something to wear at all the winter parties that will be coming up in a few months. And especially at New Years Eve.
Kind of impossible to choose just one set, they are all so great. And I love her enameled beads, esp the ones in many colours. I have not yet bought any beads from SueBeads - YET that is. I often check out her shops, and dream away ...
This givaway is awesome!
I have shared on FaceBook too
ReplyDeleteAnd I have blogged on:

I like the Flower Power sliver Heart pendant which looks like the one in the give-away. Hope I win!
ReplyDeleteMy faves are the matte rounds with the silver lines--very organic. I love the Earth Rocks! set, Beach III, and the Hilton Head bead (my fave place!). Okay, I can't limit it to just one. Luscious!
ReplyDeleteOooh, frosted teal sparkle! Frit + etched + teal = gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI like crystal-formed ones, but Asian influence series is just stunning.
ReplyDeleteher beads are really special...i love all the beads with the silver wired melted on them...the copper green minis are my favorite...thank you for the chance to win some of sue's beads...
ReplyDeleteI love Sue's beads. My favorite is her Chinese Lantern Bead. My mind is spinning with what I could create from those!

ReplyDeleteBeth F
I love Sue and her awesome beads!
ReplyDeleteI never saw the frosted filigree beads before but I am smitten!
Thanks for sharing, Andrew!
Enjoy the day!

Ok Andrew you made this one tough but I have narrowed down 3 collections! Hilton Head and Red orange and yellow sprockets! Which would be awesome in my new mixed up style. But my absolute first collection is the one you are featuring! I have had inspirations already! (Darn Crafting ADD)
ReplyDeleteKristen
Can I pick two favorites, pretty please?! The Kaleidoscope squeezed beads and the Hilton Head lentils are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Clearly the coral and the denim minis. And the violet sparkles. Or would it count if I said - everything that is etched? Her beads are super cool. Love them.
ReplyDeleteI find all the beads are beautiful. My absolute favorite is the Drumheller bead. I had taken a vacation there when I was young. The bead really does look like the rocks in that area.
ReplyDeleteWe found a lot of fun stones there. It makes me want to go back some day.
Sue's beads are so beautiful! I really love Hilton Head Pale Aqua Mini Lentil...very beachy!!
ReplyDeleteI posted about this giveaway on Facebook :)
ReplyDeleteanother great giveaway! I'd love to win!
ReplyDeleteAnd.... I blogged about your giveaway here:

You can tell I'd love to win some of Sue's beads!
Oh it's so difficult to choose just one favorite. It's a toss-up between the Autumn Leaves Sparkles set and the Classic Sparkles set on her website. But then I went to her etsy site and fell in love with the enamel beads. Since autumn is right around the corner, I'll say the Autumn Leaves set.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite are the Hilton Head beads but it's hard to miss with hers. I love her encased beads, too -- would love a rainbow collection of those!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite has to be the Hilton Head Beach lentil set because I love the pale blue watery colors which remind me of where I truly belong! Thanks for the generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI went to the web site, picked the Hildton Head Lentils, and headed back here! I guess I am not alone. The are beautiful. Thanks for the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteI will blog about your sale tomorrow
Hi Andrew--
ReplyDeleteThanks again for doing the giveaway. For me, it's actually turned into a nice tour of the "big bead world" that's out there. Sue's Hilton Head beads are my favorite I think. They remind me of growing up by the shore.
Best wishes--
Jenny
so many lovely choices, the turquoise sparkle lentil is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOooop, i didn't follow instructions! I love Kaleidoscope Squeezed
ReplyDeleteTough decision! They are all so beautiful! My favorites would have to be the Hilton Head Beach beads. I grew up at the beach and looking at those beads takes me back to those days. I can even hear the seagulls and smell the salty air and feel the warm sand on my feet. Those gorgeous beads bring happiness as the beach is my absolute favorite place to be. Thank you, Sue, for creating not just beads, but great memories.
ReplyDeleteso many beads and I have to pick just one. well, those would have to be Northern Lights. all of her items are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the Kaleidoscope Squeezed Beads. They are very unique! Thanks for sending me to her site to look around. Awesome!

I love Frosted Filigree the most.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of her wonderful lamp work beads! Pearl
ReplyDeleteWith all of the beautiful choices it's almost impossible to pick just one! I love all of the Sparkle beads, but my fave is Hawaiian Coral.
ReplyDeleteI love Sues' choice of beads & pendant for the giveaway - they will make a gorgeous necklace!!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh this is so neat. I rteally like all of her stuff but I really like the frosted filigre ones. They are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteCurrently, I am LOVING her Turquoise Stripe Large Hole beads... I can see them paired with leather... a yummy chocolate brown leather.

What gorgeous beads! From the website, I especially loved frosted filigree, but it was hard to pick a favorite.
ReplyDeleteHannah B.
I like the heart pendants, but I really love the etched beads with the swirls!
ReplyDeleteExcellent beads.

PLEASE count me in - I love Sue beads!They're right at the top of each section but I LOVE her Frosted Filigree - so unusual. Thanks Andrew for another great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would love to participate!! My favourite is the Hilton Head Pale Aqua Mini Lentil! It reminds me of when I went scuba diving in Bonaire! Absolutely gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Hilary Leehane
I shared the love! :)
ReplyDeleteI twitterpated it and blogged it
Cheers!
Just one? That's hard. I really love "silvered" etched beads, but also boro and she's got some lovely "boro look" beads there.
ReplyDeleteThe Coral Surprise Sparkles look lovely and I really like the thought of never really knowing what shade a bead will turn out. But Amber Sparkles with their different shades and the serenity of the Midnight Sky beads or the soft dreamy colours in Gelatti and the sweet autumn violets in Violet Sparkles -- they're all so pretty!
And I blogged about it to (at Wild roses & blackberries).
ReplyDeleteImpossible to choose a favorite. I have soooo many of Sue's beads! Recently, she made me a silver heart in light blue with swirly beads to "go with." Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway...I really like all of Sue's Beads...my fav from her website is Frosted Filigree...very classy!
ReplyDeleteSmiles, Pam
Her beads were beautiful - it was VERY hard to select one, but I kept coming back to look at the Waterlily Crystals...they are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love the Kaleidoscope Squeezed Beads, especially the rondelles.
ReplyDeleteI'm smitten with the turquoise lentils.
ReplyDeleteAlice Howe
Sue's work is outstanding! I love it all. The give-a-way is very generous, thank you to Sue and Andrew. Her lampwork is beautiful, especially the Amazon Wave Lampwork Bead, but with fall approaching, my favorite has to be the Blue Green Enamel focal.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Chris
I LOVE the copper sparkle.
ReplyDeleteVikki
I love, love, love absolutely the Waterlily Sparkle beads. They are 'to die for' for sure. Thanks for having the giveaway. Hope I have a chance
