remember how i told you to come back today because i was going to host a giveaway? if you answered yes, you may continue to the next paragraph now. if you answered no, chances are you didn't read my post yesterday. or. maybe you weren't wearing earrings.

so my friend shauna decided to open up a second etsy store and fill it with sylvester stallone memorabilia. when i told her it wouldn't be a good idea, she opted to go with earrings.

of course, i had to strongly discourage her from displaying her product on poster pictures of rambo. seriously. who's going to relate to a sweaty man wearing pretty earrings in the middle of the jungle? exactly. i am so wise beyond my years.

lemon kissed is filled with "simple earrings for fun people". my dear friends, that's all of you. because i know without a doubt that dull people aren't reading my blog. senile, more than likely. but dull? no way.

there are petite sweet stud earrings. and swanky playful dangle earrings. bold colors. classic colors. etc etc. and i like them all even though none are named after me.

so if your ears are bored, grab a pair (or ten) of earrings from lemon kissed. shauna accepts custom orders and shipping is always free.
