NOVICA giveaway!


Wahoo! As you can tell by that festive banner (obviously made by a person with some real artistic talent), it's giveaway time!

NOVICA is an awesome company associated with National Geographic that works with artists and artisans around the world to help them sell women's accessories, home decor, men's accessories, and even things like walking sticks. They contacted me a few weeks ago to try out something from their jewelry line. I picked this lovely ring, made by an artist from Bali:




It's .925 sterling silver, and the quality is pretty good for the price. I love the design, and I swear it's even more impressive in person. Even Boyfriend commented on how cool and "legit" it looked.

And that's not all! Just check out how it came packaged:


That's a cool ring box, artist story card (so you learn a little more about the person who made the ring!), postcard about the artist's country, and a note from NOVICA explaining why they do what they do. I'm super impressed, and hey, if it supports real artists, then I'm all for it!

But rather than just telling you guys to check it out, I can do you one better -- kelinda.KELINDA will give one lucky reader a $50 gift certificate to use on anything from NOVICA!

To enter, leave a comment on this post with:

1. Your name
2. Your email address
3. Go to NOVICA and tell me what you'd like to use your gift certificate on

The giveaway will close on Friday, November 18 at noon CST. Please only enter once. The winner will be drawn randomly and will have 72 hours to respond to a notification email.

GOOD LUCK YOU GUYS!

    Thanks for this great giveaway! Is it weird if I adore the home goods more so than the other stuff? Like the frangipani frogs vases are fantastic!
