Skull and Crossbones Jewelry Fit for a Pirate

I have been commandeering quite a few handmade giveaway prizes in the last year. Here be three of me shiny new treasures.

Susan Williams Designs Guitar Pick NecklaceI sailed to the Redhead's Homestead blog and departed with my very own custom guitar pick necklace from Susan Williams Designs. Susan has nearly 1,000 guitar picks in her possession, but knowing me, after swaying back and forth for several moments, I chose the one color in her shop that was out of stock. However, the pearly white one I picked next rocks my striped socks off just as much. I also got to choose two charms from her vast collection, which was an easier decision - I'm an octopus sucker for stars and skulls. I accepted her earth friendly suggestion of a rubber cord to string all the elements together, and she had it ready to ship that day!



Elle Paisley Designs Skull RingI have this Victorian inspired ring by Lisa of Elle Paisley Designs wrapped around my finger, thanks to a Halloween giveaway hosted on the Made In Vermont Etsy Street Team blog. This striking brass skull and crossbones charm sits on a silver filigree setting that is mounted onto an adjustable brass filigree ring.

Lisa specializes in unique steampunk jewelry. Her designs incorporate vintage watch movements and clockwork, brass, antiqued silver, Victorian and Elizabethean stampings and castings, and turn of the century decorative hardware, charms and adornments.



GymboHannah Skull NecklaceOdds were in my favor for the Fishing and Wishing blog's first giveaway! This chunky silver skull and dice necklace is handmade by Michelle of GymboHannah. You can bet I'll wear it on my next vacation to Las Vegas.

Her shop is rolling with funky jewelry, vintage finds and soy candles. She is always experimenting with something new, from handstitching mustaches on t-shirts to mixing flavors into a Monkey Farts Pineapple Coconut Vanilla scent. Inspiration for her work comes from the past, present and future.

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...

Handmade Giveaway: Scarf from Elizabeth Koh

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Susana Silva for submitting the randomly-chosen 392nd entry. Normal people go to the beach in the summer, but I prefer autumn when it's more peaceful. The weather may be chilly, but that's why scarves come in handy! Not to mention that they're also a fun fashion accessory. One winner will get to choose any scarf under $40 from Elizabeth Koh to heat up an outfit. Elizabeth Koh is not one person, but two - both Janelle and Megan's middle names are Elizabeth, and Koh means island in Thailand, where they handcraft all their cotton and silk scarves. Every collection is named after a beach or island in Thailand and feature a range of weights for wearing in several seasons. Elizabeth Koh is committed to improving the communities where their products are made, so 10% of proceeds are donated to SOS Children's Villages in Thailand. Not only will you help feed others by buying a scarf this holiday season, you'll al...

Jessica of Cut Your Heart Out is gifting away her gorgeous Abigail necklace. The elegant design features a 1" metal leaf pendant on a 24.5" medium silver cable chain accented with red acrylic spacers.
