My entry for the Etsy Beagles Team March Challenge

The Etsy Beagles Street Team is currently running our March challenge. In true spring (and beagle) fashion, our theme is Beagles and Blooms. We'll be running a contest like we did for the last challenge, so check back in a week or so for information about how to enter. Until then, check out my entry. :-)

My In Bloom necklace features gorgeous artisan lampwork beads by Serena Smith (pink dahlia focal) and Deanna Chase (three pink and green floral accent beads) linked together with Vintaj findings and green and clear Czech glass beads. How could I not be inspired by such beautiful lampwork beads? I had them custom-made especially for this necklace. Click the picture for a closer look at them.

As always with my Beagles Team challenge entries, I'll donate a portion of the proceeds to a local no-kill animal rescue, Castaway Critters.

Fifteen percent of the sale of this piece will help an animal find a home! I rescued my little beagle, Lucy, when her owners couldn't take care of her anymore and I want to help more animals find homes. If I could take them all in myself, I would, but since two furbabies is enough for now, I'm content with donating to the cause.
