quietlove Giveaway! CLOSED


If you've been reading my other blog at all, you'll find that I have found love. Actually love found me, and it's making me crazy.

It's exciting, scary, wonderful, time-consuming, fast-paced, amazing... it's so many things tied up in a knot. I don't know what's going on half the time.

Yet in whichever direction the rope twists... in spite of the giant knot that has been created in my life... I am the happiest I've ever been.

It's funny because this all made sense to me when I saw these Knotted Love earrings from quietlove. They're a simple yet complicated, beautiful and creative. I don't know where the wire ends and it's comforting in many ways.

I won't go into further depth as I might have confused myself further with the way my life is going, so I'll just focus on Izabella, the designer behind quietlove, and her talent.

Feminine, soft, delicate... and for me comforting. All of her pieces are beautiful and crafted to your satisfaction.

Izabella has been making jewelry for approximately 4 years. She is inspired by New York City, her travels and all the people around her. She loves etsy as a forum to share and discuss crafts.

Currently Izabella is working on screen-printed prints for a new home decor etsy shop that she will be opening hopefully very soon. I know I can't wait!

But for now, the focus is jewelry and as a treat for all of you Izabella has offered one of you the chance to win an item of your choice from her shop!

PJHillco Crochet Giveaway! CLOSED

CROCHETED COTTON SANDALS



I am always amazed by what people can make by hand. In my internet searching for baby shower gifts I stumbled upon a pair of baby sandals that from a distance looked basic, but when I received them and took a look up close were amazing!

Julie, the designer behind PJHillco, has been crocheting since she was a child. Her mother taught her the basics, but her talent took off from there. Now she has been crocheting for 40+ years!!!

In particular, Julie loves to crochet for babies. She feels as if she is sharing in the joy of a newborn baby every time she makes a baby bib, a pair of booties or a hat!

What impresses me the most about Julie's work is her stitching. Her talent rivals everything you buy in the store, but moreso because it's hand-made and one of a kind.

I gave the crocheted sandals she made to a co-worker of mine who is having a baby girl in approximately 1 week. The sandals were the hit of the party as no one had ever seen anything like them.

There is nothing I love more than being the best gift giver, and with the help of Julie I can give one of you a great gift from PJHillco.

Julie has generously offered to give one of you the item of your choice up to $10 from her shop. Since approximately 75% of the items in her shop is $10 or under, you have a great selection of items to win!

To Enter:

Visit PJHillco and come back and comment with your favorite item. It does not have to be the item you would choose as the winner. Please leave your email in the comment as well.
