Handmade Trove: Lace Necklace by Talila Design

Despite the Thanksgiving leftovers in the fridge, it already feels like Christmas to me! Not only did my mom spoil me with black sequin boots and Nightmare Before Christmas headphones on our traditional Black Friday shopping spree, but my generous giveaway sponsors have been sending me gifts galore.

I can't wait to wear the lace flower necklace on the right to a holiday party - the other guests will be so enamored by its elegance that they won't notice how many chocolate chip cookies I've devoured. Beautiful brass and pearl elements add even more romance to the delightful design.

This isn't my first and hopefully not my last vintage-inspired jewelry piece by Talila Design. I was lucky enough to win a gorgeous green flower necklace a few months ago and have been stalking her shop ever since. She's even offering a pre-holiday coupon - use "VIPSALE" during checkout before December 1, 2013 to receive 20% off, free shipping AND a gift.
