November Challenge "Holiday Treasures" Voting November 9 -15

This month's challenge theme "Holiday Treasures" was chosen by Marsha of HauteIceBeads winner of the September Challenge. Marsha's challenge was.... "Choose your favorite late fall or winter holiday and create a beadweaving to celebrate the occasion. It might be a menorah bracelet to wear to a Hanukkah party, or a Christmas poinsettia necklace, or ivy earrings for a Solstice afternoon tea. You could make napkin rings for a Thanksgiving table or a bead embroidered garment or handbag for a special New Year's Eve party. Let your own imagination find the perfect Holiday Treasure! Your listing should include an explanation of the event for which you have designed your entry"
