Jewelry Giveaway and A Woman's Prerogative!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! 300 Followers! That's a milestone! And we are going to celebrate with a jewelry giveaway from donnaleota.com 

donna leota
I am so excited to introduce you to one of the most talented artists I know! Donna Leota! And she has offered a pair of her hand crafted earrings as a giveaway to one of my readers! 
In addition to her jewelry design, this multi-talented artist has worked as a professional faux finisher specializing in plasters and cabinetry work, colour consulting, and is currently a featured artist for Idylle Clothing LLC. Like I said...very talented!

 
 

 Here's what Donna had to say about our giveaway piece...

"These earrings will go with anything in my closet.... If I’m happy I wear them , if I’m sad I wear them, if I’m confused about what to wear , I wear them. A couple of years ago I saw a very similar pair on a good friend of the family. She is always so put together and I have so much admiration for her for so many reasons... one is..she speaks five languages and she makes her own marshmallows. That just impresses me. Anyhow, she had these fantastic earrings on and I asked where she got them and as luck would have it; she purchased them 20 years ago in SPAIN! So no, I couldn’t just run out and buy them. So I made them. It rained all day today, so what better way to spend the day than to make a few variations of these. Sterling, bronze, and milky jade stones..some have little blush stones but they all serve the same purpose and that is to be a cornerstone piece to build on.."

Each and every piece of donnaleota jewelry is hand crafted from copper, sterling silver and/or bronze.  Donna uses semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls and various other stones in a myriad of colors to create the most stunning pieces of art.  
The winner of this giveaway will truly be receiving a piece of art!

  8. Congrats on you 300th subscriber. I am less than half way there but still slowly growing. I enjoy it so isn't the the ultimate goal?
    The earrings are stunning. I forwarded them on to a jewelry fiend friend of mine knowing she too will fall in love with them. I went to the site and I would say that Grey Ice was my favorite piece. It is one of those pieces that is easy enough to wear everyday if you wanted to but unique enough that it gets noticed.
    Thanks for such a fun give away and congrats again.

  10. I'm follower #301! Couldn't resist...wanted two chances for the beautiful earrings. After reading donna's description about Carmel and what she saw in the jewelry store, I knew I couldn't wait to see her jewelry. I love the Raindrops piece.
    I know I'm one of the people who needs to get out of beige boxes; I once told my husband I have a beige dog (yellow lab), I drive a beige car, so I might as well use beige paint on the walls of our new home.
    Then Sonya came to my rescue...you have helped me so much with color...I appreciate you!
