giveaway 13 - closed

so i'm trying to write this post. this actual post that you're reading. and all i can hear in my head is that cotton commercial song. you know. it goes "the touch. the feel. of cotton. the fabric of our lives." it's such a calming jingle. good times.

aaaand. "party in the usa" just kicked in. not as calming. and not as good. but still. i'm noddin' my head like yeah. also. i'm hosting another giveaway. like yeah.

up for your winning pleasure is a gorgeous pair of earrings provided to you by my zydeco dancing maniac friend theresa of theresaj. if you are chosen as the winner of this giveaway, you will have your choice of one of the four earring pairs pictured.

(pictured earrings are clear green with serpentine center, pistachio berry with garnet center, clear with aurora borealis finish with lepidolite center, and berry with garnet center. the flowers are czech glass. and all metal components are sterling silver.)

to be entered in this giveaway, all you have to do is:

1. visit theresaj on etsy. then. come back here and leave a comment telling me what your favorite item is. this is the only mandatory step. and it gives you one entry.
2. if you twitter about this giveaway, leave a separate comment with the twittered link. your tweet should link back to this giveaway post. and it should also include my twitter username "@wendiwinn". once the tweet is verified, you'll have one more entry. this step is optional and can only be completed once per day.
