One of a kind music pendant Giveaway!

It looks like we have a giveaway prize!! It was close between the amber glass earrings and the Chorus pendant, but the pendant edged out for the win!

The giveaway will run for two weeks, ending on Wednesday March 16th. I'll pull a random number from random.org and the corresponding comment number will be the winner! I'll contact the winner to let them know (so please make sure you have a way to reach you either in your comment or profile).

This absolutely one-of-a-kind necklace features a wooden pendant decoupaged with antique sheet music. There are musical notes, tabs, and the word "Chorus" on the front, and a beautiful green bird motif on the reverse (both elements from antique sheet music). The front and back are varnished for smoothness and protection. It is hung on a silver plated bail from a 16 inch (40.64 cm) silver chain; it is a little longer than choker length. A really sweet, special piece!

If you can't wait to win this one, you can visit my shop and purchase a similar necklace! I have three different ones, each unique and beautiful!

Good luck, and have fun!

Roses are Red....(and Pink, and Cream, and Orange....)

There is so much great stuff inspired by Victorian roses on Etsy, here is a sampling of a few I found particularly unique and charming!

These little rose soaps from FairyBubbles ooze sweetness and romance (and also shea butter and essential oil!). Perfect for a gift, wedding favor, or just a little indulgence for yourself. I love that she lists all the ingredients used for the soaps right in the listing, take a look!

I love this pendant from PrairieStarJewels because the rose is real porcelain and is set off so nicely by the little Swarovski crystals. I think this would look absolutely stunning layered with long strands of pearls.

Have you ever seen anything like this beautiful journal by BrittniKayne? A blank journal with a cover hand made out of clay featuring little rosettes, this would make a wonderful one-of-a-kind gift.

The hand was a very popular motif in Victorian times, with different positions suggesting different meanings. Here is a lovely charm necklace by Lilruby which features a graceful hand, a dainty rosette, and cute little baubles.

I can't even fathom how much time and patience goes into something like this. Beaded rose bouquet by ArtisticLane features trimming in 24K gold beads and will last forever. It even comes with a vase, what more could you ask for!
