SStargell Designs Giveaway! CLOSED


Hoops earrings are a classic pair of earrings that will never go out of style. Sometimes they become more popular, other times they're simply a pair on every earring rack.

I've never really been a fan of hoops. I guess it's because they seemed too plain to me. It wasn't until I found these heart stopper earrings from SStargell Designs did I start thinking differently about hoops. I mean... why do hoops have to be circles?

They don't, and you'll find many shapes AND textures for jewelry in Steph's shop.

Steph originally started out as a sculpture major and she progressed from there to a quilter and quilt patten designer, to primitive dolls, to mixed media, to jewelry. She finds inspiration from shapes and textures in nature as many artists do, but she tries to differentiate herself by providing unique and classic designs, excellent customer service, and the ability to collaborate with her buyers on custom designs.

I'm fairly certain most of you would choose one of Steph's designs over a custom one, and she has generously offered to give one of you a pair of earrings of YOUR choice from her shop!

To Enter:
Tell me your favorite item from SStargell Designs. It doesn't have to be the earrings you'd choose to win. Be sure to leave your contact email in the comment as well.

Contest will end January 5, 2010

Contest is open to international entries

BE SURE TO ENTER MY OTHER CONTESTS LISTED IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER!

DISCLAIMER: Steph did NOT pay me to do this review. I want you all to know that *I* approach artists and designers for reviews and giveaways when I find their products online. *I* ask their permission to review their products. Once winner has confirmed, I send winner's info to the sponsor. I am not responsible for delivery of prize thereafter
