Necklace giveaway!

Aayyy....I completely forgot to mention on here that I am giving away a necklace!
Everybody who purchases from my website through the end of the month will be entered in a drawing to win this necklace:

It's a Black and White version of my best-seller, Kaleidoscope. So if you've been thinking about making a purchase and holding back, now's the time! So far there are 12 of you in the running, so the odds are good. I'll announce the winner here on Monday, October 1.

Thanks to all of you who made purchases in the sale. My load is much lighter, and I have been making new designs. I always seem to create better when the jewelry box is empty. Maybe it's my natural tendency to have lots of stuff around me....beads, predominantly!

I'm looking forward to a nice Fall weekend. We're going with some friends tonight to try a new restaurant in Alameda, called Dragon Rouge, that serves Vietnamese Fusion food. I'm looking forward to it.
And Saturday night we have dinner plans with my cousin who has just moved to San Francisco. So it should be a fun weekend.
I have some designs in my head in PMC that I might work on, and a few clothing ideas running around up there as well. This Fall weather is inspiring.

And speaking of inspiration, I was watching the Today show this morning (while exercising, of course...you know I don't just sit and watch tv), and they showed a clip from the All Candy Expo, which is taking place this week in Chicago. Ooohhh, if I could get my sugar-loving hands in there! It looked amazing! Of course, it's only open to the trade (hence the title "Tradeshow").....maybe in a next life! Here's a little snapshot from their website:

And on that note, I'm off to get some coffee (make that a Soy Pumpkin Spice Latte). Just finished my soup for lunch, now I need to satisfy my sweet tooth!
A good weekend to all of you-
Carter
