My amazing sponsor, Cat of BrideBlu, is giving one of my very lucky readers the chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate to her gorgeous shop!
Hi! My name is Cat. I am the creator of
BrideBlu, a sweet, sparkling jewelry line intended to celebrate the "special" in everyday. I also have an "alter ego" jewelry shop called
RockPaperSilver. My materials of choice are Swarovski crystals (hello...I love how they sparkle with even the tiniest bit of light!), vintage findings, and inspiring charms. If I could pick two words to describe my work they would be sweet and sparkley!
The idea behind
BrideBlu accessories stems from my love for nostalgia and the general belief that special things shouldn't be solely reserved for special moments. The entire line is dressy enough to wear with special occasion ensembles (gowns, cocktail dresses, formal attire) but simple enough to dress up an "everyday" look. This is were the "nostalgia" comes in...I like to think of my pieces being worn again...re-celebrating memories and creating new ones along the way.
When I am not designing jewelry or
blogging you are likely to find me playing cards (you name the game, I will belly up to the table :)), watching comedies, and enjoying qt with my husband and our friends. I enjoy reading, crafting, flying (my husband is a pilot), and coffee (black!). I would classify myself as a romantic (but not hopeless:)) and try to live each day to the fullest. One of my favorite quotes is "Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but rather by the moments that take your breath away"...so true!

Cat is also offering all my readers
FREE WW SHIPPING + 10% OFF with a coupon code. Use the code
LULULOVE10 in the "notes to seller" during checkout. This offer is valid in both of her etsy shops,
BrideBlu and
RockPaperSilver from March 24th- March 31st.
To Enter: Simply leave a comment on this post. The giveaway is open to everyone, including international readers and ends March 30th at 10pm est. The winner will be announced March 31st!
Good Luck!
These would certainly help make any day special.
The final picture, that is all crystals, is absolutly gorgeous. I'm not if it's a necklace or something else, but I don't really care, It's so awesome I've got to have it.
Wowzers! I love that beautiful chrystal-y flutterbye =]
