Today, July 30th, we are Giving Away...(CONTEST CLOSED)

A Necklace, a Bracelet, a Pair of Earrings, and a Set of Bobbi Pins from Crystal B. Handcrafted Jewelry

I have never posted a picture of myself on this site before. I’m shy like that. In fact in a few days (or maybe in a few hours) you might return to this site and the photo will be removed—because, like I said, I’m shy like that.

But for now I have decided to post a picture of myself. Why? Because I received a package from the very talented Crystal B. the other day and inside was a yo-yo (a yo-yo being a very cute headband). I showed my friend the yo-yo and she asked, “When you wear the yo-yo, will you please take a picture of yourself wearing it and send it to me so I will know how to wear it?”

“Sure,” I replied.

And so I did.

And I have since decided to show it to you too.

So with no further ado.

The yo-yo in my hair.

And me.

It's hard to see the yo-yo in this picture, but I wanted to show how the yo-yo makes a distinct division between the front of your hair and the back of your hair, which makes the back of your hair appear to have a little more oomph. And sometimes, the back of my hair (whether it wants to or not) needs a little more oomph!

Here is the yo-yo from an aerial view:
And not only am I wearing a yo-yo in the above photo, but I also have on another piece from Crystal B. I am wearing a lovely double-chained necklace from her shoppe. It is one of my favorites. The blue brightens most any outfit I wear. And I love the little birds which are holding the strand of blue flowers. Very vintage and fun.

Okay, enough about me. Rather, let's focus on Crystal B. and her gorgeous jewelry! Here are just a few more favorites (and by a few I mean several because there are just too many to choose from):

Dainty little gems aren't they?

I happen to own this "queen bee" bracelet and I just adore it. It really is so unique and it is the most perfect shade of pretty pink

Aren't these bobbi pins just fun and whimsical?

This vintage brass carousel actually has horses that turn, so cute.
Oh, Crystal B., how we love your jewelry!

Crystal B. is wonderful in many ways, she even has a necklace dedicated to Stephanie Nielsen, affectionately known to the blogging world as "Nie Nie." All proceeds from the sale of THIS necklace go to the Nie Nie Recovery Fund. (and by the way, it's beautiful.)

Lucky for us, Crystal B. is generously giving away four different items today so that gives you more chances to win, right? You can enter to win up to FOUR times today as long as you live on this fine planet of ours.
