    Beautiful, I wanted to have a look just incase i ever came across it. The quote is a good one considering St John's wort is thought to be a mood elevator. (I's say a flower blossom beat's prozac anytime :)

    Thank you for the compliments, my dears! And thanks for appreciating my choice of quote, Sukhmandir! I've heard St. John's wort is an effective herbal treatment for depression, too.

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 95th commenter, Brooke! The season of buds and blossoms isn't over yet!

Jewelry Giveaway: Silver Wreath Ring by Kate Szabone

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch.

Walking through the wonderland of Kate's online shop is a beautiful sight. Her jewelry is inspired by the simplicity and complexity of nature, the Art Nouveau movement and her mother - a photographer, spinner and fibre artist.
