1. the name/link for that perfect New Year's Eve BAO accessory and

2. a way for us to contact you (your etsy shop name or your email address) if you win.

On Monday, December 1, we will use a random number generator to select the winner of a custom Heart Pendant created in the colors of his/her choice by time2cre8:



A few rules do apply:

  1. One comment with the requested information per person.
  2. Leave a way for us to contact you.
  3. Previous winners are eligible.

Check them all out! You will be tempted to do more than window shop for your Day Three GiveAway entry:

tqbdesigns's Knotted Dots Bracelet - Porch Swing is impressive! It must have taken a lot of effort to make it. I like the colors too.

I would wear SmadarsTreasure's absolutely beautiful Embroidered Pendant on a Beadwoven Necklace, found here:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13148423
It's a bold and beautiful focal point that will go well with the black top I'm planning to wear.

Hmmm! This is such fun! What a great idea for promoting your shops as well as rewarding folks for looking!

Here is my choice for New Year's Eve from Triz: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7954721

I think that this piece http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11389191
would be the perfect dramatic flair for a little black dress. Channel your inner diva with the fluffy crochet necklace, or go for a more subtle look with the obsidian. Either way, SandFibers 2 for 1 Beaded Larvikite Pendant necklace would be fabulous!

How do I pick one? I’m so bad at even picking out my New Year’s outfit, so I’ll plan for them all…

If I wear that teal cowlneck and slacks to dinner, I’d need these from tqbdesigns…
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13517275

If we took the kids to my moms for family time, these earrings from humblebeads would make them so happy…
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15979757

If we stopped by for wine at the gallery, this bracelet by SmadarsTreasure would be perfect with my coral blouse…
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14237829

If I wore that deep-v black dress, this Naftali piece would be stunning…
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17558279

If we went to see the lights along the river, this fringe ring from thejadedog would catch attention peeking out from my coat sleeve…
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10217478

For a night of dancing, this triz cuff would dress up a simple top and jeans…
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13349610

And I have to note that EVERY shop has something tempting – what an incredibly talented group!

No fair! This is too difficult! It's hard enough selecting from ONE store, much less many! :)

However, I have to say that I spotted two favorites:

Circle of Hope Raku Pendant or Focal Bead from MAKUstudio ... lovely colors and I especially love the extra long ribbon length (this is in my "favorites" from where I hope my husband will soon be shopping!)

And also ...

Pink Diamonds Amulet Necklace by arosebyname ... this is so unique and different ... very pretty!

Thanks for the viewing pleasure... and for the giveaway! :)
