underglass Review & Giveaway

A package arrived today that got me seriously excited. Wouldn't you be excited to receive this?!

And what was in this package, you ask? AWESOMENESS! That's what I think of the incredible jewelry that can be found at underglass. Carol-Ann is an artsy genious in my eyes. When I found her shop, I got so excited. I just kept looking through all of her pieces over and over and dreaming of owning oh so many of them. I don't have any resin jewelry and was just enthralled by it. I began talking back and forth with her and was beyond excited when she said she would love to be featured on my blog! She gave me a few suggestions for review pieces that she thought represented her shop well and I was thrilled to see that the specific piece that had initially drawn me to her shop was on that list! It was this gorgeous pair of earrings that she so perfectly has called Strut. I love peacock feathers and this pair of earrings is exactly what I was looking for. I love actual feather earrings to be sure, but I wanted something unexpected and these were perfect!

These earrings were in that gorgeously decorated pillow box you saw in the first picture. You know, the one with the book page, faux pressed butterfly and cute bead decorations corded around it. Isn't it lovely? She packages all of her jewelry like this when she sends it, which makes it instantly ready for gift-giving. Who wouldn't be thrilled to receive a package like that? I'm sure you also noticed instructions for caring for resin jewelry, the 25% off coupon for a future order and another little bag with an extra piece of jewelry in it. That is a bonus item! She includes a bonus item with every order. How awesome is that?!!! Mine just so happens to be a cute little necklace with tiny green and blue beads inside resin with a cool green border, on a silver chain. It's adorable! I'm seriously impressed by the packaging, future discount and bonus item. You don't often see something like that when you order something and I think that makes her shop that much cooler (which I didn't even think was possible). As if you aren't already thoroughly impressed, let me show you a few more of the amazing pieces she has to offer...

Clammy's Closet Review & Giveaway

I'm always looking for something new and unique in decor, clothes, bags, shoes and jewelry. I like a wide range of styles...funky, cute, classic, eclectic, etc. The beautiful fabric covered jewelry at Clammy's Closet is exactly the type of thing I love. It's a classic type of design with a funky twist. I was beyond thrilled to be able to choose one of her amazing pieces of jewelry to review and I had to choose the Yellow and Gray Fabric Covered Button Drop Necklace. I don't have much in this color scheme, so I was definitely drawn to it.

The length of the chain is great too, not too long and not too short. It lays perfectly. It dresses up a plain tank or tee, making it a perfect summer accessory. I just love it! There are so many things to love at Clammy's Closet. Here are a few of my favorites! I think these Fabric Covered Button Earrings are the cutest!

What a fun, funky bracelet!

You can even get your initial on one of the buttons to personalize it!

The little sparkle on these earrings is so cute!

It seems like there are always weddings to go to in the summer and I was just thinking how cute it would be to buy a simple dress and really make a statement with one of these necklaces, earrings or bracelets! Just be careful to not outshine the bride. ;-) Really though, it's impossible to not make a statement in this unique jewelry. She has such a wide variety of awesome colors, so you're sure to find something you'll love. Katherine, the creative owner of Clammy's Closet, would like to help one of my readers make their very own statement by giving them one of her Nautical Necklaces! It just screams summer!

Sweet William Handmade Review & Giveaway

So, I crochet and love doing it. However, many people think of scarves, hats and ugly sweaters created by gray-haired grannies. Well, if there was ever something to change your mind about crochet, it's Sweet William Handmade and the gorgeous crocheted jewelry she creates! It's all so unique and the eye she has for putting color palettes together is amazing. When she told me I could choose my favorite style of necklace in the color palette of my choice, I had a hard time choosing, but finally settled on one of her Abstract Crochet Circle Necklaces in a somewhat muted, but lovely color palette. I found out afterward that her son had inspired that particular color grouping and I thought that was very special. It just gives a little extra personal touch behind the piece and makes it that much more special. I promised her that I would wear the piece proudly and you better believe I will. It's just so gorgeous! The necklace is funky and cute, while still being delicate and pretty at the same time. I love that!(I wish my phone took better pictures so you could better see the colors, but you get the idea.)

There is so much more to love about her shop than just the Abstract Crochet Circle Necklaces though! My next favorite would probably be her Hoop Crochet Earrings!

I can't stop there though, just look at all these amazing pieces and there's so much more than this!

I love everything about her shop and the colors she uses. I don't want to fail to mention too that she is a sweetheart! I know you have to love her creativity and gorgeous pieces as much as I do, so you will be excited to know that one of my readers will win this awesome Crochet Circles Pendant Necklace! I absolutely love the red next to the light blue!

I know you want to win this so hurry and get your entries in below and PLEASE be sure to like her facebook page and her Etsy shop too! a Rafflecopter giveaway Disclosure: I was given the mentioned item for review purposes and was not compensated in any other way.

Copper Lane Designs Review & Giveaway

Jewelry and accessories in mixed metals are something I find to be really cool and interesting and the pieces at Copper Lane Designs are no exception. There's a simple yet sweet air to Teresa's designs and I loved her keychains as soon as I saw them. I think they are such a cute little gift idea that I especially thought would be cool for a new driver. The reason they are such a cool gift idea is that they can be personalized, which is exactly what she did for me! She asked me what I would like stamped on the keychain (of course I had to pick my name) and then she surprised me with the style of keychain. When it arrived in the mail in a sweet little mesh bag, I instantly loved it! It's so me with the cute little flower and playful design of the font!

Her artistry goes beyond just keychains though. She also does pet tags, really cute wedding forks and cuff bracelets in materials like copper, brass and nickel. Even cute leather bracelets!

She offers a wide range of styles and that is true of her keychains as well. They range from simple to more cutesy, so there's a design for anyone. The coolest thing is, Teresa is offering one of my readers a keychain of their choice that you can have personalized!!!
