Handmade Trove: Ombre Pink Scarf by Smiles by JEM

Think Pink Scarf by Smiles by JEMLast weekend, I adorned myself from head to toe in pink for a breast cancer awareness 5K in Delaware. That's not an exaggeration - I wanted to show off my new bright pink scarf from Smiles by JEM, but it was too warm in the morning to wear around my neck, so I tied it into a headband instead! By afternoon, it was even hotter (did I mention I got sunburned in OCTOBER?!) so I tied it around my waist instead. I'm impressed that the scarf was versatile enough for me to wear in gorgeous 80-degree weather.

Think Pink Scarf by Smiles by JEMThe temperature has dropped 15 degrees in the last few days and I'm ready to wear it around my neck like the model to the left. Isn't it cool how the colors fade from flamenco pink to light pink in an ombré style? The pink cotton scarf is handwoven and measures measures 17" x 70."

Janelle and her partner Megan live in Ventura County, CA but travel to Thailand to make and design all scarves. In fact, they just flew there this week! But don't dismay, their shop is still open. Use coupon code "THINKPINK" during checkout before October 31, 2013 to receive 25% off any order.

    The scarf is beautiful! I almost wore one the other day, but I knew by 10:00 it would have warmed up enough to where I'd sweating! I need to wait awhile before pulling out all my Fall favorites!

    Now I would say that is improvising, what a great tribute to support BCA.

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...
