ABS September Challenge Part II

I randomly won  a $20 gift certificate from

 Heather of Swoondimples.

You can find her beads for sale on Lima Beads

 and her Etsy shop.

 Life is a little crazy for Heather right now

 ...she is in the process of moving.

So there was a bit of a delay getting  the beads out to me.

So she generously sent extras.

She didn't have to but I'm so glad she did.

I had selected the love bravely bead

especially because of the neutral color. 

Sure that I would be able to use it in an 

upcoming ABS Challenge.

Here is the inspiration piece again

for this month

and this is what I created

The Gaea beads represent the reflection

 of the clouds in the pond.

the Czech glass rondells ...the water.

The ceramic red orange the curtains.

The silk green ribbon  the tree.

all of these surrounding Heather's lovely 

statement bead.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Heather!

How Did You Know?

Have you ever wanted something and thought,
 " I would like to have one of those."
"I think I would use that."
So it was with my friends electric kettle.
Heats water up lickity split.
Then it seemed I was seeing them everywhere.
 BBC programs and Bollywood movies I was watching.
What!?
I must of been living under a rock.
Oh well...I guess in the end it doesn't
matter when or how you discover it.
So I started checking them out.
What style and features would I want to get ?
I happen to mention to Debbie that I would like
 to get one... seemed like a few days ago.
Serendipity!
She found one at the Flea market hardly even used.
and it matched my (current) Coffee maker.
Lately, I've been draw to red appliances.
What an unexpected  swap. 

I had planned to gift her with some fall greenery
from my floral stash that she wanted for this display.

and  to surround a glass centerpiece
for her dinning room table.
(not pictured)

I had no idea that she had a gift for me too!

Hmm how did you know, Debbie?

It is just what I wanted!

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!

I just Love it!!
