GIVEAWAY Time

I am, admittedly, a little behind in celebrating my five-year Etsy shop anniversary, but it's been a reflective time: personally, professionally, and worldwide as well...

Giveaway:

This giveaway is for a dainty, delicate solid 14k yellow gold necklace featuring a tiny cluster of AA-quality golden tourmaline.  Stone cluster is attached with gold-fill wire onto a large closed gold-fill jump ring; I've wrapped each tiny dangle at the bottom for structure.  A stunning, luxurious necklace for her with the sweetest little details.  Retail price: $83.00.

Dangle is under 1" long/tall.

Three ways to enter:
1. Each purchase made in my shop = one entry.
2. Leave a comment on this post of your favorite EC | TIW piece = one entry (include your email, which will be kept private).
3. Repost, favorite, or leave a comment on the accompanying Instagram post = one-to-three entries.

Total of 5+ giveaway entries available per person.

The winner will be drawn on 12/1.  Thank you for all the support over the years, and good luck!

P.S. Our printer broke down after installing its expensive ink.  I'm still grumbling over it.  A new printer is on its way (hopefully a workhorse!), so please bear with us as we wait.  All orders will ship on Friday at the earliest.

February Giveaway: Part 2

You really didn't think that this sweet piece was the only February giveaway item, did you?  Neither did I!  It took me a awhile to figure out where I'd strike next with a second February giveaway, but a few shipping days before Valentine's Day sounds like the perfect time to me.

This second giveaway consists of a tiny brass pendant with a semi-flashy labradorite dangle handmade by me.  So small, yet so unique, this diminutive pendant is perfect to wear with delicate chains and provides a mere whisper of color across the neckline.  Details on how to win this piece are below.

To win this unique little pendant, after this entry posts:

1. Be my first shop sale (2/10 or later),
OR 

2. Be the first person to contact me regarding this blog entry.

Thanks again for all your support--and good luck.

UPDATE: Congrats to Wendy on being the giveaway winner!

February Giveaway

I'm giving away this ornament tag that I created using thick upcycled sketchbook paper, modern Art Deco font stamps, and archival black ink.  It'll make a sweet bookmark, too--with a soft Valentine's Day aesthetic (no red coloration beyond the twine here).  To win this item, be the first person to convo me on Etsy, OR be my shop's first February order (update: congratulations to Gloria on being the giveaway winner).  Shipping is on me.  Happy February!

7/1 update
Giveaway winner: Carolyn

Almost Here

It's almost time for me to draw a November anniversary winner!  As much as I dislike receiving gifts, I genuinely enjoy giving them, so I think that giveaways are going to be a shop must from now on--once a year at least.  There is still time to enter this giveaway: simply purchase a listing in my Etsy shop to be entered once.  Each purchased listing corresponds to one entry; winner will be hand drawn on 12/1.

More details: http://emeraldcut.blogspot.com/2012/11/anniversary-giveaway-details.html

Anniversary Giveaway Details

Win these!

Hope you all had a wonderful, safe Halloween.  As October gives way to November, I am again reminded of my shop anniversary.  It will be my second.  This year, instead of a coupon code, I've decided to have an anniversary giveaway--given the success of my harvest giveaway a few months ago.

This anniversary giveaway is for a set of three small dangles trios in pink tourmaline, citrine, and peridot.  The gemstones are microfaceted, so when worn, sunlight will gently play across these little stones.  All metal is sterling silver; the jump rings are 6mm in diameter.  Retail price for the set is $25.50.

When the pendants are strung on a chain together, they will look like this:

Pretty, right?

Size-wise, these pendants are well under an inch long (see the image below; clear quartz point is roughly an inch long), so they can be worn together or separately on a delicate necklace without looking too large:

The rules: 
Anniversary giveaway entries are from 11/1-11/30.  As with the previous giveaway, each purchased listing in my Etsy shop equals one entry for this giveaway.  For example, if you purchase two listings from my shop, you will be entered twice.  The winner will be hand drawn on 12/1.  Thank you for your support, and good luck!

And the Winner Is...

The winner of my Etsy shop September giveaway is...

At the last minute, I decided to have a second runner-up...

...whose prize is a Botanist's Set of Five Envelopes (sans inserts).

Congratulations to the September giveaway winners!  

(I will convo you on Etsy about your win later on today.)

 It's been a blast having my first-ever giveaway--thank you for the warm reception.

Winner will be drawn on 10/1: please see the full details of this sale and giveaway here.  Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Anticipation

 Hello, handful of people who read my blog.  I've missed blogging, and it has only been five days since my last post.  Goodness!  I don't know about you, but I've bit big by the autumn bug far too early this year--my autumn cravings (can one crave a season?) began in mid-August.

Today is only September 1st, but I'm already daydreaming of a cocoon-like existence: daydreaming of cozy sweaters/cardigans and a continuous supply of hot drinks, autumn-colored leaves and a chill in the air--boot weather.  And oh, must I forget the chai?  Scratch that, I am already drinking the spiced teas to no end.

Today is also the first full day of my month-long Etsy shop 30% off coupon code and giveaway (see my previous blog entry for details).  I am probably not supposed to admit this, but I am slightly nervous about having two simultaneously-occurring promotions (well three, if you count my donation items). Yet, I know that the only thing I can do is see how it all goes.  So I will just go with the flow...sipping my chai tea and grabbing a well-worn cozy cardigan to drape across my shoulders in the process, as anticipatory gestures of autumn.
