The gist was that you applied to Tanya for some beads and then you blogged about them. I was one of the lucky people who was chosen to join in and got sent these lovelies.
I'm not sure anyone needs to know the rest. hearing about her getting iller on facebook was so sad, and the shock of seeing the memo from her family that she had passed was more than words could say.
For this blog hop, I decided to make something from something I had bought from Tanya.A beautiful briolette. As with all my extra special purchases, I was saving this for something special and figured this was the perfect opportunity. And once again, I'm keeping this one for me.
I've had the faceted amethyst rounds in my bead stash for a while and though that it was time to use them. And I treated myself to a beautiful Trinity connector.

DeleteTanya's Blogging for Beads was a wonderful idea. I love your elegant, timeless designs and am glad you treated yourself to the trinity connector for her lovely brio. All it takes is one gesture to be meaningful to someone, just like the one bead is so perfect for that design.
ReplyDeleteShe would love it.
Thankyou for your your kind comments. I didn't know Tanya as well as the rest of the people in the hop, but wanted to take part just because of that. I applied to "beads for blogging" as someone unknown to her and she was so kind and lovely.
