For those of you that are visiting, Welcome to Mint & Clandy Create! Thank you for coming! I am so glad you are here!
I am thrilled to share my very first GIVEAWAY with you! Enter for your chance to win the beautiful handcrafted freshwater pearl necklace below.
I also have BIG news! Not only do I have some amazing guest bloggers lined up this week, but I'm also opening the doors to my new Etsy shop. (Better late than never, right?)
http://www.etsy.com/shop/mintnclandy
Right now there is only a blank storefront, but I hope to have things up and running by the end of this week.
I will be listing a variety of items. Some will be made by me, and some by my talented family & friends. I can't wait to show you all of the exciting items I've got planned.
Now for the good part....the GIVEAWAY!
I found this necklace at J.Crew & thought it was stunning.....only....
Using freshwater pearls, nylon cord and a lobster clasp, this "Knot & Pearl" necklace is what I came up with.
The necklace came out better than I could have imagined. The cord really looks like a silver chain, which wasn't what I expected, but it was a very nice surprise. I'm excited to share it with you & hope you'll be equally as excited about your chance to win!
Now the details!
There are 2 ways to enter.
1 - Leave a comment on my blog. (I'd appreciate recommendations about how to make it better, things you enjoy most about other blogs, etc. - but that's not a requirement.)
2 - Follow me & leave me a comment letting me know you signed up! If you already follow me, just leave a comment telling me that & Thank you!
Entries will end Friday, July 9th, at 1:00pm CST. I will announce the winner July 10th.
Good luck & Welcome to Mint & Clandy Create!

ReplyDeleteI am following your blog, but I wanted to say, the great thing about this style is that you can change the colour of the pearls 9i think a silver and pink combo would be spectacular!) and even change the pearls to maybe swarovski crystals...beautiful job! Maybe you can post a how to?

ReplyDeleteBlack pearl is not available in every outlet, it is rare and beautiful. At the same time, one should always pay for genuine things whether it is for yourself or someone else.
