~200 Posts, Where Has the Time Gone??~Ever since I missed celebrating my 100th post, I have been waiting for this one to come along so that I could treat you, my wonderful readers, with a thank-you contest!
I can't tell you how much it means to me that I now have 35 followers reading my blog, I can't help but smile every time someone is thoughtful enough to leave a comment, so THANK YOU!
I'm going to ask a question, and the first person to give me the correct answer to the question (with correct spelling, yes it does matter!), will win a surprise treat, hand crafted by me! Don't worry, it is an easy question :-)
Here we go: What was the main adornment (read: jewelry) worn by the Celts around their necks to denote status?
Clue 1: they were sometimes used for religious reasons!
Clue 2: They have been worn from at least the iron age!
The first person to spell it correctly (the old spelling please, not the lazy new one, lol) will win a surprise!
Have fun Googling,
I'm a pretty good googler, but I'm lost here (probably because I'm not Celtic)! I did find this great page - check out the illustrations here:
