6/4 UPDATE:  We have a winner!  We drew comment number six, which was MaryJane's!  Congratulations!!!  (I don't think I have your address, MJ.  Please message me on facebook and I will be happy to put the earrings in the mail for you!)  Thanks to all of you who played along!

=================
6/3 UPDATE:  Giveaway closes tomorrow (Wednesday) at 5PM Pacific time zone.  Two things about posting. . . 1) Your comments go into a mailbox before I open them and put them on the blog.  So, even if you don't see your comment right away, it is time-stamped at the time you send it/ it arrives to that mailbox.  I may not get them POSTED by 5PM, but if you SEND them by 5PM, they should be fine.  2) Anyone should be able to send a comment.  If you are not a "registered user," "Google Accounts user," etc., send it under the "anonymous" setting.  PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR NAME WITHIN YOUR COMMENT, though, or it won't count (Because I won't know who you are. )
Thanks for participating!
=================

Welcome to my first-ever giveaway on this blog!  Thanks for dropping by!

What am I giving away, you ask?  How about a pair of these beautiful earrings, by Holly Yashi? 



One of my favorites of their many designs, these feature the company's famous colored niobium, as well as garnets and gold-filled filigree.  And would you believe that before arriving to one of you, they will have passed through at least ten different work stations?  Design, rolling, cutting, rounding, piercing, dapping, coloring, clinching, stone setting, and assembly.  A lot of care and hard work goes into this lovely artwork! 

Sooooo. . . who wants to win it?

Leave a comment for me and include your name.  Giveaway ends on Wednesday (June 4th).  That's not much time, so hurry and sign in!  Open to anyone in the contiguous United States.  (Wish this one could be international, but it can't be this time.  Sorry. :(  )

Retail value of this prize (as specified on their website, www.hollyyashi.com) is $45.00 USD.

Happy commenting!

    Janine - I come across this last night and tried to comment. I had to recreate my account that I had and didn't know I had. But anyway, I would love to be entered in your giveaway for a pair of HY earrings. I just think its unfair that you get to see all the new designs before the rest of us buyers. <3

Water Cake and the Widow of Zarephath

May 1, 2020 I am enjoying some Water Cake this morning with my tea. Have you ever tried that? It’s an unusual recipe because it doesn’t require any ingredients from the frig like milk, butter or eggs. It’s made with water and ingredients from the pantry, including oil, flour and sugar. It’s a good recipe to have during times like a pandemic or a blackout, when you can’t always get everything you want at the grocery store or keep everything you want in the refrigerator. As I was making it this week, I was thinking about another woman who didn’t have butter, milk or eggs to cook with either. Her story is in the Bible, in 1st Kings 17. She lived at the same time as God’s prophet Elijah, and there was a drought where they were. From the beginning of this drought, God had led Elijah to a place alongside a brook, where he had good, fresh water to drink. God sent birds to him twice a day, carrying meat and bread for him to eat! Can you imagine what that delivery service might have been ...

One of my children and I were having a cabin fever kind of day recently, missing the freedom to have big adventures and attend big events. You know what I mean? We had been sheltered-in-place about seven weeks and were missing those moments when someone says, "So, what'd you do this weekend?" . . . and you have something big to say. In those conversations, we tend to skip over the details like we brushed our teeth or took out the trash. Instead, we would mention the one or two things that seemed like a big deal. A birthday party, or dinner at somewhere fancy. During the shelter-in-place, we don't get to go to the movies or the mall. No overnight road trips or even trips to the hair salon. It can seem a little depressing. Yet, sometimes, moments of great joy and happiness aren't found in things we think are a big deal; they're found in the little details of our lives. Today was one of those days for me. I woke up to a good-morning kiss from my husband, as...
