Think cool thoughts. Think cool thoughts . . . . AND A GIVEAWAY!

Here it is the first of August, and if you think it was hot in Texas in July, you “ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” I have been­­ staying close to home and in the cool of the house, but I still have my own little “power surges” or ”personal heat-waves”, if you get my drift. And when that happens and the AC is as cool as it is going get, I repeat to myself, “Think cool thoughts. Think cool thoughts . . . .”
I was doing that today as I was making this bracelet.

It is a bit of a departure for me and I hope you like it, because I made it especially for this giveaway. (More on that in a moment.)

The bracelet is sterling silver links with a variety of glass beads (5mm – 12mm) dangling down from their silver wire wraps. The five orphan lamp-work beads are in shades of aqua and teal. They remind me of Monet’s Water-lily series.

I gave it a test wear this afternoon, and it is light and comfortable, and as you can see from the photos, it goes with anything from denim to chintz and lace.

Now, for the giveaway:
