Giveaway: Alaskan art jewelry (Valentine’s Day, anyone?).

by

Welcome to the first giveaway of the year! This time around, it’s jewelry that I sure hope the U.S. mail can deliver in time for Valentine’s Day. Three winners will have a shot at three pendants made by my friend Linda B.

Her jewelry is always a hit, and for good reason: It has style, energy and personality. If I wore jewelry, I’d definitely be wearing hers.

This is also part of my ongoing “support the local economy” efforts. Sure, I give away a lot of gift cards, because they’re useful to readers. But I also like to focus on local artists and retailers. (Watch this space for an upcoming Chugach Chocolates giveaway.)

Valentine’s Day will be here in a month, and these pieces would make great gifts. Each one is unique, i.e., she has never made and will never make another one exactly like it. 

Or the winner might choose to keep the prize, in order to brighten up their winter doldrums. I chose fun, specific designs rather than abstract ones. Here’s what’s up for grabs:

 

Know anyone who keeps tropical fish, or who likes an island vibe in their home? This design would likely appeal to them. It would also work for Christians who wear the fish sign.

 

 

Come on, who doesn’t love an owl? And does anyone else who grew up in the Delaware Valley area start getting hungry for Wise potato chips when they see owl graphics?

 

Lepidoptera are fun all by themselves but may be symbolic as well. For example, some members of The Compassionate Friends, a group for parents/relatives who have lost a child, use the butterfly as a symbol of hope. If you’ve had hard times, then the butterfly is a reminder of the beauty of transformation.

And speaking of transformation: Transgender folks often see the butterfly as a reminder of their own metamorphoses.

Win the Valentine’s Day giveaway

All three pendants are on 18-inch chains. Again, a little bit of luxury for yourself, or a fun (and free!) way to brighten someone else’s day.

  8. I am not entering because I won one of your giveaways in the past. I just wanted to say thanks for being generous and especially when you support local businesses.
