Giveaway: The Noble Gnome

Happy, happy Friday!!! I don't know about you, but this has been quite a week. Bleh, even with two sick days this week, I'm ready for the weekend!
This weekend we have a very fun giveaway that I think you're going to LOVE. The Noble Gnome is a fanciful shop filled with pieces "inspired by nature, the ocean and stories from a long time ago." These pieces exude a bohemian chic vibe that to me say, "sexy" and "strong" simultaneously. Anna has been kind enough to offer to one lucky Down and Out Chic reader a $21 gift certificate (+ free shipping)!
Here are some of my favorite pieces (and there are plenty of pieces to choose from).
Sugar $14
Summer rose earrings $18
Jaded love vintage stone earrings $21
The Key to the Stone necklace $23
{all images via The Noble Gnome}
How amazing are these pieces? If you win, wanna share your gift cert with me? Pretty please?
How to enter... (Up to 3 entries!!!)
1) Please visit The Noble Gnome and tell me what you like. What would you spend this gift certificate on if you won?
2) If you're a follower of Down and Out Chic you're extra special and you can enter a second comment! Simply say, "I'm a follower!"
3) Chat about this giveaway on your blog, Facebook, or Twitter and leave me a comment telling me so!
Remember, The Noble Gnome has a shop and a blog, so be sure to check out both!

I hope you have a weekend filled with not just good, but wonderful things. B and I are going to visit his family on Saturday night and we're bringing the pups (ummm, can you smell disaster, because I can?). I'm not sure if I'll be blogging this weekend or not, but I'll check in soon!
Big cyber hugs to all of you,
Christina

    This is a really hard choice. I'm browsing here and there are so many I could say I love most, but I think my pick would be the "Forget me Not" necklace. The beautiful green stones and that charming heart pendant are magical together. That's my pick!
