Silhouette Giveaway

I am so excited about today's giveaway! Kerstin of Crafted by Kerstin is offering one lucky reader one custom piece worth up to $125 from her shop! And this giveaway is just in time for Mother's Day! A few weeks ago I showed you the necklace she made for me. I literally wear it every day! It is my favorite piece of jewelry.

Here I am all dressed up (which is a RARE occurance these days) wearing it. I wear it even when I am wearing my sweatpants though (which is what I am normally found wearing), I love it so much!


Kerstin is an absolute pleasure to work with and she recently made me two more things - this lovely key chain and a smaller, more dainty silver necklace.  Her items are lovingly packaged in pretty little boxes and are such a joy to open and make for a special gift.




Here is the original necklace she made for me:


She also has a variety of silhouette jewelry in her shop:
