At Last……and a Winner

You know when you find someone really talented,

……and you just love everything they make?

You just can’t decide what you want to buy?

Well Tanya is that talented someone.

        

Tanya is bead woman extraordinaire. I am in awe of her work.

Who wouldn’t be?

     

A few months ago she was getting ready for a show in her area.

She had the tin types picked out for the necklaces 

but they weren’t completed yet.

Before they were made and brought to the show she

asked me which one I had my eye on.

It was a hard decision but I zeroed in on one.

        

I wanted her to invoice me but Tanya said we would 

talk about that later.

Well you guessed it …..

she gifted it to me.

Isn’t that so sweet and generous of her.

I tell ya the love out there in blogland is BIG!!!

It came enclosed in a beautiful black box with her gorgeous card.

Even her cards are exquisite…….lovely 19th century ladies spending time together

working on their needlepoint.

Enjoying each others company……

just like we do virtually now.

                       

She added one of her friend Heather’s beads made with a unique

firing technique that brings out different colors.

I wish I could have you see it in person.

             

Embellished with antique buttons and beads.

I wore it a lot during the Christmas season in the shop and I got so

many compliments on it.

They all wanted to know more about it.

Tanya just added some lovely pieces to her Etsy shop recently

If I were you I would run right over.

Now in the same spirit of giving.
