Next week it's July - which means that the 4th of July is on Saturday. Seward, Nebraska is America's 4th of July City - it's been featured on Good Morning America several times and brings in thousands of guests. It's a great day. That's why this week's image is patriotic - the winner will have a necklace in time for the 4th of July! The contest rules are: respond to this post with a suggestion for what should be on the back side of this pendant. On Friday a winner will be chosen and rewarded with a soldered glass pendant on a 24" chain.
If you are in Seward on the 4th of July, please stop by the Liberty House {corner of 4th and Moffitt} and peruse the great antiques, primitives, crafts, and jewelry. I'll be there with tons of stuff. So will Leah from Moxie Photo and Design. Jill from Jill Ruth (if Jill's not there, visit her at Gatherings on the Blue). Deb from Heart Creations. There are many others also. If you like the really big craft fair scene, walk to the town square. There are a gazillion crafters, people, foods, demonstrations, old cars, apple pie, cloggers, etc.
Rumple and Scootch along with my husband and I live out in the country on a peaceful acreage with a pond. I create with glass and sometimes copper, brass and silver all the livelong day. Life is good - "Living Life on the Gravel Lane"
