I finally achieved my goal of having 150 blog followers tonight, hooray! I’ve picked blog follower at random to be the winner of the lovely Raindrop Earrings, and the winner is… Olly! Congratulations, Olly! The earrings will be on their way to you as soon as I get your address (I’ve emailed you already). Enjoy!

Of course, if you’re desperately disappointed that you didn’t win, you can always visit my Etsy shop here, where I can make some just for you!

Anyway, a big thank you to everyone else who entered my giveaway – but don’t worry, it won’t be the last giveaway I do, there’ll be plenty of other opportunities to win some shinies!

I have a couple of new additions to my shop – firstly, my Autumn Leaf Earrings, made with beautiful golden rutilated quartz and copper. I thought about making these because to be honest, I’m getting a little tired of the summer. I can’t wait for autumn, and figured I might not be the only one feeling that way. I’m already starting to feel it in the air! These earrings are very autumnal, like golden leaves, and I absolutely love rutilated quartz.

The second pair of earrings are my Ice Blue Aquamarine Earrings. I actually sold these about an hour after I listed them last night (hooray!), but I’ve listed another pair, and they’re available at my Etsy shop. What makes these so pretty are the natural inclusions of the aquamarine. Sometimes gemstones can be a little boring to look at when they’re *too* perfect, I love these because they’re not. And I love the long, elegant almond-shaped earring wires, so pretty!

A couple of days ago, I blogged about my first ever giveaway (for all the details, go here). It’s been going very well! So far, I have 86 lovely blog followers, which means I just need 64 more followers before I can choose the winner of the lovely Raindrop Earrings! I’ve been really pleased with the response so far, and I’m so happy that people seem to be really excited about winning the earrings! Yay! Looking forward to choosing the winner – if you’d like to be in with a chance of winning, it’s so simple to enter – check out my giveaway blog post for all the details!

This is going to be the easiest giveaway, ever! All you have to do is become a follower of my blog, by clicking ‘Join this Site’ in the little box in the sidebar on the right. When I reach 150 followers, I’ll use a random number generator to pick one of you, and you’ll be the winner! Below is a pic of exactly where you need to click – just look to the right, and you’ll see it there in the sidebar.

The prize? Some of my favorite earrings from my shop – the very lovely Raindrop Earrings. They’re made with pale blue chalcedony and are wrapped with sterling silver wire. The soft delicate blue makes these earrings so pretty – they’re like little raindrops! I hope you like the prize!

Most giveaways ask you to do all sorts of things, but given that this is my first giveaway, I wanted it to be really simple. So, get following! Of course, if you’d like to help spread the word to speed things up, that would be awesome and I’d appreciate it – the sooner I get to 150, the sooner I get to choose the winner!
