First I start on a serious note.  I would like to take a moment to remember those who lost their lives 8 years ago this morning.  I will never forget where I was or what I was doing when I saw the news.   My thoughts go out to all of the 9/11 victims and their families as well as the survivors.

So this, my friends, is a Super Special Freebie Friday.  First, because I am actually, as you read this, on the gorgeous beach of Duck, NC in the Outer Banks with a bunch of other photographer girlfriends.  But mainly it is because when I received this goodie in the mail I did NOT want to give it away.  At all.  In fact I considered selecting another piece to give away instead but decided to stick with my original plan.  Unfortunately for me, it is a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry with no repeats.  I first saw this GORGEOUS bracelet after it was highlighted on Twitter by someone I follow.  The artist behind it is Wendy T of Designs by Wendy T on Etsy.  She is a local gal, from right down the road in Warwick, RI.  She will also be at the Pawtucket Craft Festival this weekend if any of you locals would like to check out her other work in person.  (Me, I am still eyeing THIS beauty for myself since I had to give the bracelet away.)

The official description on Wendy’s site is (was):  a stretch bracelet and features 16mm genuine turquoise rondelles with jasper nuggets and a large brown bone bead accented by a brass chain with a brass filigree bead.  My description – a gorgeous, earthy, fun, chunky bracelet.  Perfect year round wear.
