Enchanted Adornments Giveaway No. 5 BUTTERFLIES
Cynthia Thornton, of Green Girl Studios, has written an amazing book called Enchanted Adornments: Creating Mixed-Media Jewelry with Metal, Clay, Wire, Resin & More, and it will be released on November 1, 2009!I am really excited about the release of this book because Cynthia and her family, are all amazingly talented and this book will totally rock the hizzouse. But not only that, I contributed a piece of jewelry for the Gallery section of the book, and am really super excited for all of you to see it!
The Green Girl Studios team, graciously donated 8 small packages of beads to be randomly given away, in honor of the big book release, to my little blog! How cool is that!
This week will be the first of the 8 givaways. This FIFTH package of beads contains 5 pewter components (clasp, button, charms, bead, and pendant), all in the BUTTERFLY THEME!

ReplyDeleteI read about you in a beading magazine. Which one? I don't really remember. I went to your Etsy Store and loved the things you make. I especially like the way you promote your fellow Estsians and list where you get some of your components for the lovely pieces you create. Your blog was listed there. I follow it every morning with my coffee before work. A happy start to my day. Hope you're having fun in London.
ReplyDeleteI love the flutterbys...They are so cute :o)
ReplyDeleteI found out about your blog through Heather's blog, I think...It was somewhere around the time of the Bead Cruise - but I think it was when Heather said you were coming along to be her lovely assistant :o)
Hope you are having a great time in London!!

I found you through the Art Bead Scene. Since then I've read your blog dailey. That's where I found out about your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMorning, Lorelei, I have no idea just how I found your blog but I'm sure it was from following over from somewhere else, probably from LLYYNN. I look forward to reading your blog each morning with my cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteI originally found your blog through Andrew Thorton, I believe. Now I check in about every other day to see what you are working on. I love these beady blogs, it is like I have a really large community workshop that I can see what everyone is working on!
ReplyDeleteI've followed your blog for so long that I can't remember how I found it?? Anyway, I am a regular follower!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a fun trip...can't wait to hear more about your adventures!
I enjoy reading your blog everyday - that is how I knew about the giveaway. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Lorelei,
ReplyDeleteI think that I had a lucky accident and just happened upon your blog. It has been a daily ritual ever since, I connect to many other blogs via your blog.
What kept me coming back was all the great suppliers you use, I have purchased items from summers studio, green girl, round rabbit, patina queen, all because of you.
I found your blog through Beadstyle Mag. Everytime I spotted a design I liked guess who the Designer was? You!! I am a faithful fan and also enjoy your links, but you are still my VERY favorite, so, May I admire you again tomorrow??!! Lol, Mel
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Artbeadscene which I found through Heather's blog. I've been reading blogs on and off for the last couple years. Recently though I hadn't done much with mine until I ran into Andrew at Beadfest and we had our bird challenge. Now I've been updating and reading blogs like a fiend.
ReplyDeleteI found out about your blog through one of the beading magazines I am subscribed to it was either Stringing mag or the wire mag. Since then I have been reading different blogs by different jewelry and bead artists. I love your blog and I check it everyweek. I love your jewelry designs. My email is ssg1106@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteYou are the first blog to check each morning with my coffee. I think It was at Andrew"s blog or maybe the other way around Its been so long I can't remember.
ReplyDeleteferrarioriginalbeads@yahoo.com
Gee, I can't remember where I found your link - probably blognetting or from one of the bead mags. You're on my daily blog list so that's how I know about the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHave fun in London - hope you can get to Portabello Road or Covent Garden to hunt for jewelry parts.

I found your blog by doing a google search for beading blogs. sounds lame, but your style was so amazing that you were the first blog I added to my blogger list, which I check compulsively throughout the day. the beading links each week lead me to several other blogs which I now also follow.
ReplyDeletekeep up the great work :)
I follow your blog regularly and cannot remember how I got hooked!
ReplyDeleteI can not remember how I found your blog, but you were one of the first I added to my blog roll. I come by pretty much everytime you have a new post and when I miss one I always go back and read it. You are a wonderful source of inspiration and I love to see what you come up with next.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Marie
I found you through the Art Bead Scene. I read your blog several times a week. That's where I found out about your giveaway
ReplyDeleteI found out about your pretty little blog through another blog...ummm can't remember the name of that blog as it was so long ago. I've been following you ever since and look forward to your daily posts and creations. As I've said before...your work is truly an inspiration to me:) I am and always will be a tried and true Lorelei fan!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've read your blog for a long time. :) I saw the news today on FB.
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog since I purchased one of your necklaces for my mother. I actually got to see the necklace this summer while she was visiting. She wears it all the time. I also love the green girl studio charms. I will blog this giveaway this week. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI *think* you found me first but I can't remember at all! What lovely components...my fingers are crossed again :) Hope your trip is going swimmingly!
ReplyDeleteWow, it's been so long since I found your blog that I have no idea how I came across it...I know your blog was one of the very first that I started following! I have been a loyal reader of your blog since :) Thanks for another great GGS giveaway!!

Hello Lorelei,
ReplyDeleteI've been a regular reader of your blog for about a year and I think I found you either from Art Bead Scene or Lynn Davis' blog. I keep putting my name in the hat hoping to win som of those lovely pewter pieces. Please draw my name this week.
Hope you are having a great time in London.

I linked to your blog from someone else, and I just really liked what you had to say about what you do, so I've been following ever since. The give-aways are a great bonus, but I'd follow your blog without the gifts, you're just interesting!
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog for so long I really can't remember where I found it. I love your posts and you are inspiring on a daily basis. Thank you. Enjoy your trip!!! Can't wait to see your work in Cynthia's book!!! Thanks, Terri
ReplyDeletetdtlt@sbcglobal.net
I've been a "stalker" of yours for quite a while. I first learned of your blog when I noticed you are like in every beading magazine there is. I remember pointing out to my hubby, "Here she is again! She's in every magazine." Needless to say, I can see why you are so popular. I love the earthiness to your little works of art.
ReplyDeleteHeyya Lorelei, I looked at your Blog checkin you out a good while back thru some comments you left on Andrew Thorntons page!
ReplyDeleteI'm a regular reader, and I do come back because of your lovely beads and jewelry -it's like finding a new treasure every time i visit..Do have a great week! Love//Eva
ReplyDeleteI first found your blog when I started my jewelry blog in July, 2008. I discovered it through someone's blogroll, but I don't remember whose.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved your jewelry, and I love it when you post pics of your beady goodies.
I was looking through Flickr when I came across one of your beautiful bracelets and follow the link to your blog and have been a reader ever since.
ReplyDeleteI found out about you via SueBeads blog and have followed for a couple months. Great creative jewelry!
ReplyDeleteHi Lorelei,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog via Cynthia Thorntons Enchanted Adornments fan page on Facebook - she posted about your blog so I toddled along for a peep. I'll definitely repost this giveaway in my blog sidebar, thank you for the chance to win.
I'm off for a snoop through the rest of your blog now ;)
How did you hear about my blog? I have been following your blog for a few months now - probably found in on either Marcia DeCoster's or Fab Fibers, or someone else equally beady! How did you find out about this giveaway? Saw the blurb that you were doing it on Facebook. Did someone recommend it? Nope. See above.... Are you a regular blog reader? Almost every day. It takes time out of bead time-but I love it!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through another blog...but I can't really say that I remember which one. I found out about the giveaway because I follow your blog and read it whenever you have a new post...how cool is that, that you get do a giveaway for them...I'm anxious to see their book
ReplyDeleteFollowed the link from the Enchanted Adornments fan page on facebook to your blog. I always enjoy seeing jewelry designs on the web.

I can't remember where I found out about your blog, but I have been a subscriber ever since!
ReplyDeleteI probably heard about your blog from your Etsy shops - your bead destash shop was one of the first bead suppliers I bought from when I started beading! (: I read regularly last year, but I'm just getting back into the grove of things this year.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, how did I come across your blog? Maybe it was through the Art Bead Scene or a link from another artist's blog....can't remember for sure. But I do visit your blog every day that I can. It's very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love butterflies! Thanks so much for doing the giveaway---and I hope I win!!!!!!
I'm a regular reader, since when? I'm not sure, been awhile. Quite enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteI found out about your blog through your etsy store and make sure to read it every day! You're a fantastic writer as well as jewelry designer.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having fun in London!!
I learned about your blog by reading other blogs. I learned about your giveaway by becoming a regular reader.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog quite by accident and haven't missed a day since. I love the butterflies and hope I win. Maybe this time the odds are with me, I hope so.
ReplyDeleteI am a blogger, too, so I like to explore and see what everyone is up to. How did I find you? Let's see...Julia at Drawn to the Sea suggested I visit Jewelry of Distinction, where I saw your blog listed in the sidebar...It was a long trip, but I'm so glad to have arrived at such a lovely destination. Took time to enter your giveaway and now I'm going back to snoop around a bit. Your blog is beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI found you through Heather which lead me to the Art Bead Scene which is followed by daily visits to your blog! I love Green Girl Studio beads. The butterfly collection is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHeard about your blog from Kerry at Kab's creative concepts. I love to see all the fun ways you put things together, it inspires me. Thanks for sharing all your ideas with your followers. Thanks also for the chance to win, or hope to, such fun beads.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through a link from the art bead scene blog. I have time in the summer to surf sites and this is how it happened. I enjoy reading your blog and seeing what new pieces you have made - and you post regularly, so this keeps me coming back.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having fun in London!
I also found your blog through Marcia DeCoster's site; I'm a regular reader of her blog and plan to add yours as well. I infrequently read a few quilting and dollmaking blogs in addition to the beading ones, and find them all fascinating; I tend to get lost in them and have to limit my exposure! I heard about your giveaway by visiting your site, and the Green Girl booth at Bead & Button is one I never miss, so my attention was caught instantly! Have fun in London and travel safely!
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I found your blog, it was probably a link from another blog. I am a regular reader of your blog and an admirer of your work.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember how I found you - through some linkage of polymer clay lovers, I am sure! But I am a faithful follower, even without the lovely blog candy, just because I like your work.
ReplyDeleteEdie
Hi Lorelei,
ReplyDeleteI found out about you through a friend, Daniele, of Thistle Farm. Your zest for beading and your prolific output are a source of inspiration and motivation! Thank you!

Hmm, I think I arrived via Andrew's blog, or maybe Zoa Art or maybe Humblebeads, but now I follow and link. I'm so glad to have found your blog!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog from your ETSY site. I look at your pretty jewelry and follow your blog.
ReplyDeleteLaura
Due to my limited time..you are the only blog I make sure to read on a daily basis!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Green Girl..I buy from them all the time!
Good questions Lorelei! I am guessing that I found you through a publication...or Art Bead Scene. But you know that I am a regular reader of your blog because I love you and all you do! And now I can count my blessings as your beady friend and traveling bracelet sister...I hope you are soaking up the sights in London! Enjoy the day! Erin
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how I found your blog, I must have seen you at someones side bar. I follow you & others regularly. I check my blog everyday.
ReplyDeleteI spend a lot of time pursuing the creative world of personal adornment; for varied reasons. Your name kept popping up, and somehow I ended up here. I don't visit everyday, but do read back when I'm here. I admire your fountain of creativity and your ability to share meaningful information each day. Free goodies would just be a bonus!
ReplyDeleteMollie
I don't remember how I discovered your blog either, but I do read it everyday! Love it!
