Giveaway time!

EEEK!

I am so excited to share with you about this Giveaway!

Leigh Ashley, who is a fabulous blog friend of mine, has generously donated a piece of her jewelry to one of you lucky readers from her etsy shop Barberry and Lace!

At first she asked me to pick one of her pieces to giveaway, but after spending literally an HOUR shopping her site, I couldn't make up my mind! EVERYTHING was beautiful!

I pictured this one for some of you:

Then others I thought would love this:

oooo and what about this:

ahhh! The options were too good! I couldn't just pick ONE!

Not when I love each one of you, and you are all so unique, with such different taste! So I wrote her back and asked her if ya'll could pick your OWN pieces!

And guess what?

SHE SAID YES!!!

If you are the lucky winner (chosen by random generator) you get to pick one of her fabulous pieces for your own collection! (up to $25.00 value)

So do you want to get in on this awesomeness?

Well here's what you have to do:

Mandatory:

You MUST visit Barberry and Lace and comment on the piece that you would choose if you win.

Hannah said...

I love you, love you, love you. I'll let you in on a secret. I'm scared of children and none of my friends have them. I never EVER thought I'd love following a Mom's blog so very much. This is probably because you're super awesome and blog about how much fun your little A is... but yes, LOVE YOU!

Megan Ashley said...

I LOVE the Love Birds Necklace!

Jennifer B said...

I'm not completely sure that I commented on her page right because I can't figure out how to comment on a specific piece so I commented on her most recent post with jewelry on it! I want the headband with the pink flower!! Actually, I want it all but for now, beggars can't be choosers!

Megan Ashley said...

I just adore and love you for this giveaway, why you ask? Because I LURVE jewelry and you my friend are a 10 in my book for helping me win some :)

Megan Ashley said...

OMG, scratch my comment on what I would pick. I am in LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE with the dragonfly necklace. I am sure you know why
