AmyK's Birthday Giveaway

Hello, hello, lovely readers! Have I got a special surprise for you! Next Tuesday (April 5th) is my birthday, but that's not all -- as I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan and have always dreamt of living in my own cozy hobbit hole, I'm following in the tradition of those generous little halflings of Middle Earth and giving away a gift to celebrate my growing one year wiser.

This year's prize is a lovely monocle necklace from the Etsy seller Regina of Chain Chain Chained Jewelry. Her creations are sublimely whimsical, and after stumbling on this monocle necklace that resembled my own much-loved piece of jewelry, I knew it would make a perfect birthday giveaway prize.

Here is her description:

Long, delicate and chunky chain necklace topped with a dainty bow charm and finished with a working eye glass pendant. Lobster clasp. Chain measures about 20 inches. Give it to someone you love or keep just for you!

It's a lariat style chain, but I can see it easily being adjusted to resemble a more "traditional" necklace. In addition, I'll be tossing in a delicious s'mores flavored chocolate from Dylan's Candy Bar! Because really, who doesn't love chocolate?

Entering is easy. Just follow these rules:

1. Be a follower of this blog by clicking the "follow" button on the left side menu.
