Count me in, count me in. I am greedy! I just got my first Gwen earrings, and I want more (Peter brought me the clear crystal long danglies from St. John, yay! so gorgeous). I won't lie, I won't play selfless. Gimme a chance to win!
Maybe it will be a Blue Christmas pour moi!!
Yes please count me in! They are the prettiest sea blue. I love the way you have displayed them, Gwen.
oooh, I would love to own those blue beauties. count me in PLEASE!!!
I love those earrings! Please consider me.
Me, Me, Me! I love them:) Except I already won a lovely holiday cheer box,so... maybe I shouldn't.
Oh, yes please! Those are beautiful.
Thanks to everyone who have left their names, so far...
and Anet, don't be silly, this is a new game, and your name is in the blue bowl...
Open to one and all!!
OMG!!! I'm squealing with excitement!!! Those blue earrings are so beautiful and I would LOVE a chance to own them. Please....I beg you....add my name to the blue bowl.
Btw, I love how you have photographed them!
love, light and peace,
serena
Hooray! Please enter me into the drawing. I love the earrings, and blue is my favorite color. Thanks!
Oh please enter my name too, I would adore a pair of your earrings. Not that I have much luck in winning stuff but you never know.they are such lovely things.
These are the most beautiful shade of blue. They are the color of the ocean and remind me of how far away I am from the sea (being landlocked in Montana...) You create lovely art! Jamie V

These are a beautiful blue, Gwen. Yes, I want to be chosen from your blue bowl, although I'm sure people will think it looks "fishy" if I win - since you won my make-do pincushione! But don't let that stop you from picking my name! I especially am enjoying these earring because .... I have started fiddling with jewelry making. I don't know what got me started - maybe from seeing so many beautiful things on etsy - that I couldn't afford! I would never have expected this - I always think we are either hard surface people or soft surface people. And I am obviously a soft surface person. It will be interesting to see how much soft stuff will end up being incorporated in whatever jewelry I make. So far, I am not doing any "real" making, as in I haven't made my own chain, nor have I done anything that requires soldering (yet). I've been designing, stringing and connecting. But I am at the beginning of the journey, so that's okay. I have taken a silk knotting class (so I could restring my pearls by myself), and a wire wrapping class. And I've bought some fabulous books. I spend my free time at the bead store, acquiring. And I am digging up my collections of "stuff" that I love but never know what to do with - talisman necklaces, here I come!
Those might go nicely with my new stubbly hair!
Very pretty, Gwen. And nice to see you. You're making yourself rare 'round these parts! What a busy life will do to ya, huh?
wen they veritably sing to me. I love your silverwork and the blue crystal drops. Just beautifully suited to each other. Unfortunately I have just the ear holes God gave me.
They are beautiful.
I fell in love with those earrings at first glance...and then I read the post.
Y'know, they would really bring out the blue in my eyes, beautifully.
(Ruth is indeed greedy!)
So am I.
Oooooh Gwen, they are lovely! Please count me in too!x
I love blue, but I do not have pierced ears, love your photography too. Still watching and enjoying. Hillary

They are sooo beautiful and I would love to win them, I didn't have a chance to get to the show in Saint John to see your beautiful work this year.
I am keeping my fingers crossed.

They are beautiful. Please add my name.
Yes please....I would love to have my name in the blue bowl....if I win at least I will have one xmas present.
They are simply 'stunning'! and...blue is my favorite color (well, okay one of them). My hubby still makes fun of my 'blue days' he calls them...seems that's all I wore when we first dated! LOL

You are such a generous soul.

I get a little jealous of you women getting to wear these beauties. If I win them, I will wear them first, then give them to Ruth!
Really

Oh My ... Blue is my #1 fave colour...and these are awesome! I'd feel so lucky if I were to win them. I used these same teardrops to make a mobile that I have hanging in my kitchen window...suspended from monofilament...they look like raindrops suspended in motion!

more elegant than any berry i have ever seen ...
mansuetude, the tear of a sea berry frozen instantly on the coldest day of the year....
Ruth you could never be greedy...
jamie lovely sentiments...
Morna.. I love the symbolism behind talismen...
Arija you have everything good inside
violet sky blue eyes... I like that image
jeannie you have a christmas wish of happiness from me ...
Sandy you are kind...
deborah.. a delicate way with words ..
marie they must look beautiful..
cvitka... lovely...
Annie, your English is 100 times better than my French and I am very flattered... Thank you so much
Lynne, this line of prose.. very deep and touching..
India.. this poem is haunting.. 2 little souls...
Shelley , you're a doll...
Thank you Redcrow.. very thoughtful of you...
it would be a beautiful sea berry to make such a beautiful teardrop.
(but..."what" the little person in me almost 6 years old wants to know, what happens on a sultry day? :) ? ooo !
Thanks for being a joy, you!
mansuetude oh these very special Sea berries will never melt, once they have turned to this crystalline state... it has to do with the ever so chilling nature of the Fundy waters... they are forever...
do you believe me?... if you poked your toes in this afternoon you would.. well come to think of it... if you poked your toes in on a warm August afternoon it wouldn't feel much different...
the temps. don't change much in that deep body of water.. it is a force... a good one...
my toes say they are cozy and happily barefoot today!
I am glad they are forever; just like the sea, which when standing near sometimes, looking out, makes me feel so insignificant and yet so large, expansive as the horizon's blurring lines; eternal and as deep, but fleetingly, in another way my mortal mind can barely reach.
I've been in the Atlantic ... my toes trust you.
...and Trusting Toes are almost as good as a Loyal Dog... which puts them right up there in my books!!
... or would that be a loyal pig... as in little piggies... trust me they can be loyal too.. very intelligent creatures...
