I have added a second giveaway!!!! Check it out below!!!
So, I have decided to take a leap and join the One World - One Heart gypsy caravan. This wonderful event was started by Lisa Swifka over at A Whimsical Bohemian. This is how she describes it
The common denominator in blogging is that we all have stories to tell....be it through visual means or life stories or the day-to-day or art work or handwork of varying kinds or poetry and journaling. We can be inspired or inspire others by finding a blog and taking the time to read/see someones story. Often times a spark happens....this palpable spark of recognition through kindred understanding and shared passions in life. It is in those times when we take a moment to comment and comment again.......when those comments are reciprocated a discovery is made that we share commonolaties which connect us sight unseen. Sometimes we may live on separate continents or at either end of the same country or even discover you hail from the same general area. By paying attention, by connecting with others, we are creating a circle of amazing individuals who can literally enhance our lives and we can enhance theirs.
So, in the spirit of OW-OH, I am opening up my heart to new connections, new experiences, new inspirations from my blogging friends (and friends to be) around the world. Here is my offering.
It is a one of a kind necklace made by moi from my series of pill box necklaces. It features a vintage pill box (which could be the home for your meds, small trinkets and keepsakes or, as I like to imagine, your dreams and wishes tucked in on lovely bits of paper), reclaimed chain mixed with new chain, shell beads and a vintage key.
The pill box opens to show two compartments with a divider running across on the diagonal. You could put a wish and a trinket inside!
Please make sure you give me your info in your comment so that I can get back to you if you win! Good luck and enjoy surfing through all the wonderful blogs that are participating. May you make some wonderful new friends out there in blog world!
With all of the wonderful feedback and almost 150 people entered in my OWOH giveaway already (with another week left to go) I decided that I needed to increase the odds of winning and so decided to add another of my necklaces to the hat. Take a gander and if you like what you see, throw your name in the hat! Enjoy blog hopping and I hope that you have enjoyed what you see here enough to come on back for a visit one day! I am always happy to make new blog friends :)
I was just hopping from one blog to another. And so I discovered OWOH!! Great, sharing creativity all over the world!! And so... I created my own blog this week...for all of you...feel free to take a look at my cards and atc's!
You have a lovely, unique giveaway!! The necklace is so adorable... Sweet wishes to put in the small box, or big secrets!! :)!
Someone, somewhere.. will be very happy with it... I can only dream it's me :)!!
Greetings from Belgium,
