The Mystery Thing Revealed! Someone Guessed It And I'm Flabbergasted.

Hi again!  Last time, I posted these earrings, with a challenge to "Guess the Mystery Thing."

The Mystery Thing, in this case, being those strange little blue dealies.  Any idea?

Multiple people guessed 'game pieces.'  Nope!  Multiple people guessed 'chessmen.'  Nope!  (I did use chessmen in this previous upcycled jewelry tutorial, one of my favorites.) 

And then there were the crazies.  This week, some very funny people played the game.  Presenting...Mich's Honor Roll of Hilariously Wrong Guesses.

Anon: Barbie's toilet plunger.

Keely: Peg legs for pirate Smurfs.

Terri: Radio towers stolen from Whoville.
Apple: The sceptors of tiny royalty.
Creative Mind: Part of a breast pump.
Saraccino: Alien mini antennae that stick to your forehead like suction cups.
Lauren: Tiny Statue of Liberty torches.
Anon: A very blue tampon applicator.

Amazingly, none of those were correct.  Want to see the answer?

Okay.

The Answer:

Applicator tips for my dog's flea control.

Bailey did not have fleas when I adopted him, and that was exactly how it was going to stay.  I bought a pack of this flea stuff, and when I saw the nifty blue tips I knew I must use them.  Isn't their silhouette just so adorably Jetsons?

They already have a hole through the center, so they work like any basic bead.  I strung them onto a headpin with some other cute stuff - turned a loop at the top - attached an earwire - done!

Winners winners winners.  Join me in a moment of awed silence for Betsy from My Salvaged Treasures - can you believe she actually guessed this???  Congrats, Betsy, you are a witch with supernatural powers.  (Please, use them only for good.)  And congrats to Evelene S, you are this week's random winner, chosen by random.org.  I'll email you both anon!

Oh - while I have you here!  There is a brand new rescue doggie featured on my world renowned Pupsicle of The Month page.  Look at this senior sweetheart!

Name: Angel.
Breed: Corrier.  (I think I made that up - it stands for corgi/terrier.)
Martini: Sour apple, with a twist of liver.


To meet Angel, click here!  And perhaps, if inclined, you could help spread the word with a leetle mention on Twitter, Facebook or just yelling out the window?  That would be awesome.


Thanks again for playing and visiting, everybody!  Come back next time, for something sweet and simple and upcycled.
