giveaway #11 : Freya Art & Design.


I'm a little sad all the giveaways are coming to an end but just as excited to introduce you to Freya Art & Design.

Fun and a little bit quirky, Freya's drawings are full of color! Her art would look equally lovely in any room in the house. Sweet pictures with sweet little words, I'd love to add one to my picture wall. Her drawings come in two different sizes : large and medium. Freya also designs greeting cards and will accept custom orders. Today you have a chance to win any medium size print of your liking. Isn't that fabulous? Thank you, Freya!

asha patel : threads.


Asha Patel has unique, one of a kind jewelry.
Really a breath of fresh air.
My newest favorite to top the list is the new collection called Threads.
Choose from nine hand cast sterling silver symbols dangling on a colored silk cord. It truly goes with just about everything. I have the clover. Which would you choose?

I kind of think these are a little bit sweet.
A nice way to dress up the old tissue box.
