Down and Out Chic Giveaway

Get excited! I’m hosting a giveaway care of Down and Out Chic! If you haven’t met Christina, her and I go way back in our wee-little blogging days. I’m thankful to say this girl has pulled me out of ruts when I’m feeling like my last days of posting are over, for some business savvy advice skills (you have her to thank for talking me into getting my 2010 calendars going), and for all around encouragement on our individual success.
She is offering the winner 2 vintage bird hairpins and with the color of their choice.

-dove cabochons are vintage from the 1950′s
-birds measure 37x25mm
-birds are adhered to 2″ silver plated bobby pins
-bobby pins are comfortable and durable

//my favorite are the black pair//

Some impressive facts about the shop:
It was recently featured on the Etsy front page.
Down and Out Chic has a wonderful vintage collection of jewelery growing.
Her now sold out Diana Brooch (named after me! and yes, i do have bragging rights) was featured in Outblush.
Her shop will be closed the weekend of Dec 4, so stock up for the holidays!
