It's Friday and I'm doing a little jig because it's been a good, productive week, but I'm ready for some down time. Obviously I'm looking forward to the weekend (I mean,who isn't?) but I'm also really excited about this weekend's giveaway! I ran across Jessica's blog, Epheriell Designs, before seeing her work and I was equally impressed by both, and I think you will be too.
Jessica is an Australian artist who describes her work as "contemporary, sleek designs for the modern woman." She's been generous and kind enough to offer a $40 gift certificate to one Down and Out Chic winner!
Here's how I would spend my gift certificate if I happened to win (remind me why I'm not able to enter this giveaway)...I've always wanted my name on a necklace, even if it's kind of a long name.
Name Necklace-Custom sterling silver necklace 7-10 letters $40
This resin necklace is colorful and chic. The perfect combo if you want my opinion.
Opaque Frosted Resin Bead Necklace No 4 $25
These little earrings are stunning in their simplicity.
Sterling Silver Earrings-Little Bud $16
This bracelet surpasses trends and fads. It's a piece I would keep and wear again and again.
Silver Crocheted Bracelet $22

A fun side note- Jessica is getting ready to get married. She designed all of her own jewelry and I'm so excited for her! Congrats Jessica.
