The Southern Stamper Review and Giveaway

This is the final installment of the Earring Extravaganza!

Many of the giveaways end this week, so be sure to stop by and enter.

I hope that you enjoyed this event as much as I did.

I don't drink coffee or tea.  I'm a Dr. Pepper girl. So when I came across these Dr. Pepper Earrings I just knew they were for me! 

The Southern Stamper has lots of awesome bottlecap earrings in her Etsy shop.  Seriously, you can get anything from Tinkerbell to Mountain Dew--or your very own custom earrings!  I love the idea of the custom earrings--there are just so many possibilities!  Your kid's school logo, your kid's sports team logo, various club logos, etc., would all be great things to "immortalize" on a pair of earrings!

I would consider these to be "statement sized" earrings.  The Dr. Pepper image is one inch wide.

  

An actual bottlecap was used in the making of these earrings.  (It wasn't harmed, only flattened.)  A slightly glittery epoxy covers and protects the images.  The silver toned ear wires are comfortable and work well with the bottlecap.  

These are great casual earrings.  They would be perfect with jeans and a sweater.

The Southern Stamper has generously offered one lucky winner 

their choice of one pair of earrings!

One Artsy Mama Review and Giveaway

This post is part of the Earring Extravaganza!

Be sure to check out all of the fun.

A little while ago I was lucky enough to win a pair of Wire Wrapped Briolette Earrings from a contest that Amy, over at One Artsy Mama, hosted.  (Her blog is one of my favorites!)  I loved these earrings so much that I just had to include them in my Earring Extravaganza.

Amy's Etsy shop, also named One Artsy Mama, has many adorable items and lots of quality handmade jewelry.  I love all of the earrings!  She has all of the earrings in the photo above for sale right now, and all of them are quite reasonably priced.

My earrings are the Passion Pink Wire Wrapped Briolette Earrings.  They are perfect for me!  This color is a bright hot-pink with turquoise-like veining.  The teardrop hangs about an inch below the earlobe.  The size is a great--not so small they disappear but not so large that they dominate.  They are very comfortable and provide a great punch of color.  

I would say that these earrings are best for casual situations; however, I think that they would look fantastic with a little black dress.

Amy generously is offering one lucky reader a pair of the
Wire Wrapped Briolette Earrings.
You get to pick the color!

Rito Originals Review and Giveaway

This is part of The Earring Extravaganza!  

Be sure to check out the other awesome earring giveaways happening now!   

"Wearable art."

That's what you get from Rito Originals.

Amber, a Stay-At-Home-Mom (like me!), makes gorgeous jewelry as her creative outlet.  Her shop is filled with her unique designs.  Of course, this is part of my Earring Extravaganza, so she has beautiful earrings, but she also has lovely necklaces and rings.  My favorite ring is the Tanzanite Sterling Silver Ring.

Today I am going to be highlighting The Freshwater Pearl Pendulum Earrings.  They are a modern take on a classic look.  Simple, yet stunning.

Pearls are always elegant and sophisticated, and these are no exception.  The gorgeous white pearl is securely attached to a sterling silver pendulum earring.

These earrings are incredibly lightweight and very easy to wear. At a little over an inch long, I love that they have a "dangley" feel even though they are completely stationary.

While you certainly could wear them with jeans they also would be great for a fancier occasion!

Rito Originals has generously provided a pair of the
Freshwater Pearl Pendulum Earrings
for today's giveaway!

PS: There is another giveaway happening at the Rito Originals Facebook Page!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday & Earring Extravaganza Link Up

It is Earring Extravaganza Time! 
This is for you to link up pictures of you and your favorite earrings!  After you link up be sure to check out the reviews and giveaways--all earring related, of course--HERE.

Hoopla Hoopla Earring Review

Have you seen the adorable earrings that Mandy makes over at Hoopla Hoopla?  Check out this beautiful pair:

I had the opportunity to review the above Eliza Bliss Black Filigree Earrings. They not only came in a regular bubble envelope, but were also adorably packaged in a pillow box, with the earrings themselves on a cute distressed tag.  It is obvious that thought and care was put into this packaging.  It was as if I were opening a gift!

Earrings that make a bold statement can be so much fun, but they often are difficult to wear due to their weight.  These earrings both make a statement and are so lightweight its amazing!  You, or at least I, quickly forget that they are even there.

Even if you have sensitive ears you can wear these earrings because they are nickle and lead free.

As an added bonus, Mandy, the shop owner, is super easy to work with and very friendly. It is apparent that she has a great attention for detail, from the way that the earrings are packaged to the sweet business card.    She has 450 Etsy feedback, and its at 100%!  That speaks volumes for a small business.

I'm sure you are eager to own some of these earrings yourself!  Be sure to enter the below giveaway and then head on over to shop!  Can't decide among all the wonderful choices?  Guess what, you don't have to!  Hoopla Hoopla has specials where you can buy in multiples of 5 or 10 at a significant discount!

Mandy has generously offered one lucky reader

Oh, Nostalgia! Review and Giveaway

Oh, Nostalgia! has beautiful  vintage inspired jewelry.

This is a lovely Etsy shop with many wonderful handmade jewelry items.  As an added bonus, if you just can't find the perfect piece, custom orders are an option!

The earrings that I received to review are the Light Purple Flower Earrings.  

The backs are lever backs, which are cute and comfy to wear.  I wore them all day immediately after receiving them and forgot that I had them on!  They are nickle-free, so if your ears are sensitive to nickle you can wear these pretty earrings without worry.

The beautiful light purple flower is topped with feminine filigree that matches the lever backs.  In the above picture you can see how the flowers hang downwards, which I think is a lovely effect.  The below picture is looking up at the earrings.

While these earrings are not large they also are not so small that they will disappear into your hair.  Total length is about one inch.

These earrings would work great for everyday use, paired with jeans and sweater for the winter, or could even work for a dressier event with a dress or a skirt.  I foresee these earrings becoming a staple accessory.

The shop owner, Paige, has generously offered a 

shop credit of $20 to one lucky reader!
