Competition Winners Announced!!!

I need a stone setting tutor now...JJ?
No beachball for me though
Thanks cookies

Got a couple of stones - not sure what to do with them as I have no setting skills - but we'll see.

Beach ball too - bouncy!

Well - mine arrived this morning Cooksons . I already have the bench peg installed as my old one was more holes than wood!! I too have the beachball and 2 tiny 3mm topaz stones... Did anyone get the 6 semi precious stones (topaz, garnets or pearls) at the end of the list??

I had already decided that I was going to try to do some stone setting in the lull after Christmas and so I ordered the Cogswell book (that has been recommended on the forum) on Wednesday evening ...I don't think I'll manage to do anything as small as 3mm though!! The book hasn't come yet - but I thought I'd give you the link to it as I think I got a total bargain!!! About £3 cheaper than elsewhere and freepost too! Search : aphrohead.com

I have found a site on ebay that does cabs (and stones) and so I am buying a few bits and bobs from there...nothing less than 5mm though!!...so that I can have a play. And the Cooksons freepost has come just in time for me to add some bezel strip and silver sheet...must remember to order before Sunday evening!

I hope the book link can be of use to someone!!

I got the topaz, garnets or pearls bag. I'm assuming the red are garnets, pale blue are topaz but the pale purple look like amethyst to me (I don't think they're pearls!)
I'm not fussed though- any free goodies are wonderful!!

I didn't get any stones at all

I didn't get any stones at all

Neither did I Di! But then that's hardly surprising as I wasn't one of the winners

I consider my wrist slapped George - what an ungrateful sod I am eh?

I still want shinies tho

Thank you Cooksons for my goodie bag - I got everything on the list including the stones and these included 2 pearls as well. The saw blades will come in handy as I was down to my last couple, so great timing.

The spare wooden peg for the bench-peg doesn't fit mine, so if anyone wants it I'll happily post it onto them - just PM me if you are interested.

Can I post this? I'm not selling just passing on a spare bit of kit...

I didn't get the 6 extras, just the 2 3mm square topaz stones.

I haven't tried the bench peg in my new setup yet - wonder it if fits?!

I got a lovely box full of stuff didn't care about stones as it was a prize
I blew up the beach ball and there was a little girl in Howards shop buying sweets with her dad.
Her little eyes lit up and off she went very happy with her new beach ball
