Andrew Thornton's Hidden Cove Challenge

Today is the reveal of the Andrew Thornton's Hidden Cove Challenge. Growing up Blue was my most favorist color, (she laughs) My kitchen was blue and white with those blue willow plates and saucers.  I even have this cute Teapot set.  Living room was Sky blue and white with Navy blue wall to wall carpet. Bathroom Courtesy of Sears was Blue, beige and white. That was like twenty years ago.  When I purchased my house my mom said I hope everything is not going to be blue. SMH.  This is the Hidden Cove Kit I purchased, had to have it.

This kit features a selection of premium Czech glass (both new and vintage), vintage lucite, vintage acrylic, waxed cotton cord, manik-manik Indonesian lampwork glass, a vintage seed bead mix, dalmatian jasper, wood, an African trade bead, a strand of sodalite and a Luxury Bead Blend
