I’ve been friends with Linda Ballsmith for years through an on-line forum we were both on. We even met a few years ago in California at a meet-up for the same group.
Even then she was making lovely handmade jewelry.
Now, I’m giving you a chance to bring something handcrafted by Linda home in time for Christmas.
Linda knows people like to select what they win, so she’s giving me $25 credit to pass on to one of you!
Check out Linda’s Etsy site, Ocean Breeze. Roll around there and see what you like.
I especially liked her Sterling Silver Custom Mother’s Necklace with Swarovski Heart Beads.
If my husband were to get this for me for Christmas (hint, hint), the crystals on mine would be sapphire blue, clear, topaz-colored and another sapphire blue. I am just saying.
Rings and earrings can be hit or miss with my metal problems, but sterling silver bracelets and necklaces seem to be okay. Just in case my husband is reading this.
She also has almost two hundred pairs of earrings crafted and ready to go.
She’s moving into more fine metals, like sterling, so check and make sure if you have a preference.
Linda is trying to increase the number of subscribers to her Facebook fan page. If she gets to 300 total likes by the time this giveaway ends next Monday, she’ll give away an additional $20 credit to a second winner!
Here’s the entry form:
This giveaway runs from right now until next Monday, November 21, 2011.
Good luck to you!
And honey, remember I like the sterling silver!
I love the creamy melon bead and antique brass earrings.
I’ve always loved mompotter’s jewelry! I have one necklace that I wear all the time.
I have a particular shirt that needs a necklace, and I’m partial to the Pumpkin Orange and Green Necklace with Antique Bronze leaf. I think those fall colors would probably match quite a few things in my wardrobe.
I just love LInda so anything she creates has got to be great!!
Linda’s jewelry and customer service are amazing! Love her packaging too! My current favorite in her store is the Autumn Colors Charm Style Bracelet!
I love it all! The cranberry colors were perfect for a few sweaters I have.
I have to be a copy cat and vote for the mother’s necklace. I really LOVE that!
What did you use for the give away? That was really cool (the way you clicked “done” after each item). I’m interested in doing a doll give away.
Thanks!
And, oh, I have a confession…Until today, I didn’t know who you really were. 😉
I use Rafflecopter. It’s easy to use and makes for a nice giveaway. It even generates a random number to select the winner.
And don’t worry; I was incognito until recently.
Thanks, Anne! 🙂
Love Linda’s shop! This bracelet is one of my favorites! http://www.etsy.com/listing/83091623/bright-red-and-antique-brass-bracelet?
I love the wire-wrapped rings!
Oh my gosh, these are all beautiful. How could I ever pick a favorite? Linda is so talented 🙂 One piece that stood out was the Pumpkin orange and Green necklace with antique bronze leaf. The layered chains and beads look amazing.
There are so many things I would love to have…but my heart is set on the mother’s bracelet…we hope to finalize the adoptions of our 3 littles ones in December…and I really want to have a bracelet with all 7 kiddos birthstones.
🙄 Just to many choices! But I do love the mother’s necklace, and the long earrings with sea opal blue and topaz beads!
i linked her site to my FB page the other day and people commented how dangerous it was to look at! My current fav is Aqua Glass Bead with Oxidized Sterling Silver Wire
Love this jewelry. It’s SO time to order something new. 🙂
My favorite of Linda’s is the Amethyst and Cranberry Necklace with Focal Bead. I have 2 shirts the this would look especially nice with and I’d love to show off her craftsmanship to my friends! 😀
My favorite piece is the Cobalt and Sapphire Blue Drop necklace. I’d LOVE to have that!
