China Shard Pendant for the Give Away

OK, since this is my first give away, I am not sure of the rules, so I decided to make some up.  (I always feel important when I get to make rules!) May_bucket_006

RULES

1- You can enter as many times as you like

2- Every time you leave a comment I will enter you again

3- I will keep adding things as I come up with good ideas for goodies.  I’ll post photos of the new pretties as I come up with them.

4- If I get over 100 entries, I’ll have a 2nd prize to improve your odds! 

5- You can leave any comment, on any of the posts to be entered.

6- If you have a friend that enters and says they referred you to this site in their comment, I’ll enter your name again.

7- I will find a really pretty hat to use for the drawing.  Something with flowers, I am sure. 

8- PUPPY NOT INCLUDED!

Here is my latest addition to the May Bucket.  In its past life, it was a Homer Laughlin plate.  I do tend to chip, break, demolish a lot of pretty dishes.  I never break one purposely if it is in good shape, but hate to waste anything, so I re-purpose all chipped ones.   This plate is now made into some pendants. 

I banded the edges with foil tape and soldered it with lead free solder.  The bail it hangs from  is sterling silver and the blue cyrstal bead is circa 1940s.

  2. What a beautiful piece of blog candy. I have a collection of (just) English bone saucers on my dinningroom wall. I have over 100. I started collecting when I got out of school. Cheap beautiful art. So….I would really love to win your gorgous candy.
    Your Yorkie is very sweet as well.
