A couple of months ago I was browsing through my blogroll, visiting one of my favourite artists - Laura Trevey - on her Bright Bold and Beautiful blog.  I love Laura's blog.  Every post is an inspiration.  If you love watercolours check out her blog – she is very talented.  Anyway, Laura did a post some time ago about an Etsy find of hers - The Earring Lady. 
Well, I love earrings and I love handmade goodies, so after just one click I found myself in “earring heaven”.  So much so that I purchased not one but four new additions to my “earlobe” wardrobe (hey… that rhymes)!  A short time later these arrived in my mailbox:
I adore these beauties and I noticed that Jane (the real Earring Lady) did custom orders, so I asked if she could make pendants to match.  Et voila, these beauties arrived in my mailbox soon after.
specialorderI have had nothing but compliments on these sets and I can think of no better way to thank Jane than to turn my blog friends onto her beautiful work.  Hence, my very first “Giveaway”.  If you check out The Earring Lady on Etsy, you will find goodies like these:
missmatchI love that these don’t match! onyxdropThese are so cool – I love the length!pearldanglesPearls to go with every outfit – so dainty and dangly rosequartzI love the colour of these! 
So, now to the Giveaway.  The prize is any pair of earrings currently for sale in The Earring Lady Etsy Shop.  The draw is open to residents of Canada and the United States.  You will get one entry for each of the following – so the more you do, the more chances you have.
To enter you must:

  1. Visit The Earring Lady and leave me a post telling me which pair of earrings you absolutely MUST have. 
For additional entries you can do any of the following:

  1. Become a follower of my blog and leave me a comment on this post telling me so.  If you are already a follower, leave me a comment saying so.

  2. Do a blog post about the giveaway and leave me a comment with the link.

  3. Share the giveaway on Facebook and leave me a comment telling me so.

  4. Tweet about the giveaway (using hashtag #dhdsgngiveaway) and leave me a comment telling me so.
The giveaway will run until midnight on June 22nd.  I will pick the winner via a random number generator and announce on my blog.
Good Luck!!!
Now….I think I saw some earrings I MUST have…..

    Hi, I found your blog from Grace at Sense and Simplicity. I would love to enter your giveaway. If I was lucky enough to win earrings I would choose A Heart Of Turquoise. They are totally my style, although it was a tough choice because there were so many that I would wear. Thanks.
