I’m so excited, y’all. I mean it. And y’all know I’m not given over to melodrama or hyperbole. Ever.
In the midst of all the goodies I received at Blissdom earlier this year, there was the sweetest necklace that I wear all the time now. It simply says, “Bliss.” I can not tell you how many people have asked me about it and complimented me on it.
It came from Lisa Leonard Designs. Each piece of Lisa’s jewelry is hand-cut, hammered, antiqued and polished sterling silver. Her jewelry is both simple and stunning. Allow me to show you.

This is the Beautiful necklace. Y’all need to read the description of this necklace. I love it. I really do.

How cute is this?

Um, yes. I’ll take one of those.

Oooh, wait. Wait a minute. Be still be ever lovin’ {coffee drinkin’} heart.

Your the cream in my coffee. That’s the name of this necklace. I <3 it.
Lisa says this necklace was “inspired by the Nat King Cole song and her extreme love of coffee.”
Now . . . . .
Lisa has offered up a chance for one of y’all to win a $50 gift certificate to her store. Go ahead. You can *SQUEE* ~ I won’t tell anyone.
**This giveaway is now over. See the bottom for the winner.**
You will have five different ways to enter this giveaway. Each comment is counted as a separate entry, so it’s important that you leave a separate comment for each entry {redundant, no?}.
1 ~ Visit Lisa’s store, look around, come back and tell me what you would put the $50 gift certificate toward.
3 ~ Subscribe to my feed via e-mail or a reader.
4 ~ Like me on Facebook. *snort* I’m sorry. That just gives me the giggles.
5 ~ Tweet about this giveaway: Enter for your chance to win a $50 GC to Lisa Leonard Designs via @eclecticwhatnot http://bit.ly/9XkLGh
This giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents and will end Sunday at midnight CST. The winner will be announced Monday morning.
Worthy Side Note:
I had the pleasure of briefly meeting and chatting with Lisa’s sister, Chrissie, while at Blissdom earlier this year. Hopefully, next year at Blissdom I’ll be able to steal a few moments with Lisa, as well. Aren’t they adorable? I’m trying really hard not to have hair envy right now. Look how full and bouncy their hair looks. I’m guessing it would be kinda rude to yank them both bald-headed.

Oh what a great giveaway. There were so many things in her store that I loved…. but really…I didn’t have to think twice. I would put the $50 towards the “you’re the cream in my coffee” necklace. That is SO me.
Lisa and her sister are beautiful ladies. They look like they have a fun relationship like I do with my sisters.
