Dearest peeps,
What are you doing this weekend? B's birthday is on Saturday and I'm hoping to take him to the shooting range. Before you get all judgmental and think "there those Southern rednecks go again...", I'd like to say that neither B nor I have ever held a gun, and for the record, I was born in New Jersey- so if there's any redneck in me, I can't blame my family. Ha! On a side note- Have you entered the giveaway I'm offering at the Cottage Cheese? Because you should.
I hope you enjoy this weekends lovely giveaway...
xo,
Christina

I'm also smitten over some of these pieces in her shop: saffron, boheme in brass, and dusky purple and silver. What's your favorite?
Here's how to enter... (3 entries)

My mother in law has completely lucked out. I bought a bracelet from Claire with every intention to be efficient pre-MiL birthday, but forget it. It's staying with me, I'm afraid. Think that makes me a witch of a daughter-in-law (yikes!)
