and the WINNER is . . .

 

The time has come to announce the winner of my GIVEAWAY! My non-scientific selection yielded something very fun. I put the name of Debra Lang into the mix because she had so graciously commented about how much she loved her Miriam Necklace (the giveaway prize). So guess whose name came out first??? YUP, Debra Lang. So Debra, you're going to get a matching bracelet to the Miriam Necklace. So naturally, I needed to draw another name, and that lucky person is Brenda Bedard. Brenda, please send me your mailing information to tippystockton@aol.com so I can get your necklace to you. CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH DEBRA AND BRENDA.

 

And thank you all for participating. Here's a little thank you for playing along.

 

Take 15% off your order with coupon code TIPPY15 . . . good until the end of the day on Monday, May 27 - Memorial Day.

 

 

 

 

I feel LUCKY to be ME :)

"And like flowers in the fields, that make wonderful views, when we stand side-by-side in our

wonderful hues . . .

We all make a beauty so wonderfully true.

We are special and different, and just the same, too!

So whenever you look at your beautiful skin, from your wiggling toes to your giggling grin . . .

Think how lucky you are that the skin you live in, so beautifully holds the "You" who's within."

 

I love this quote, and it perfectly describes my life in the past week.  I have so much love that has reigned down on me . . . quite apropo since this week is Valentines Day.

My new blog friend Sus over at the Funky Monkey has given me some post time and is sponsoring a lovely giveaway for my new Sparrow Earrings.  Feel free to be part of the giveaway.  It's open to anyone residing in the USA or Canada.  The drawing takes place a week from today.

In case you haven't seen them, here they are.

Valentines Day and a little Giveaway

This blogpost is two-fold.  One, it's to introduce you to my friend Tracie's blog where she is hosting a giveaway for a lovely piece of jewelry . . . from moi.

Second, I wanted to wish you all a Happy Sweetheart's Week.  What plans do you have?  For those of you who are married or in a relationship, do you cook a quiet dinner at home with champagne and an amazing dessert?  Or do you go out for dinner?

I personally haven't looked that far ahead yet myself, but apparently someone else in the house has.  We are going to go to dinner at one of our favorite spots in town.  I LOVE that, but I also like to spoil my boys as well with a wonderful little dinner and some sweet treats.  Kellan still lives at home, but from what we've been hearing, that won't be for long.  So I think that I'll surprise them with a little dinner, perhaps on Wednesday.  I'll be scouring my recipe books and PINTEREST to find something special they will both love. 

What special treats will you be making your beloved(s)?  I'd love to know :)

So, here's the link to Tracie's blog.  http://fishtailcottage.blogspot.com/2013/02/tippy-stockton-giveaway.html

As I said, she's sponsoring a wonderful little giveaway for a most special necklace . . .

My Heart Beats for You!!!

It goes without saying . . . I LOVE Valentine's Day! This is true for so many reasons. I met my dear sweet husband one day after Sweetheart Day back in 1980. I was lamenting that I just wasn't clicking with any of the "stuck up" California boys. I had just moved (reluctantly) from Illinois - my Dad had been transferred for a new job, and I was too young to stay back by myself. And 31 years later, I am married to and in love with my "not very stuck up" California boy.

But the other reason I LOVE Valentine's Day is HEARTS! As you can see above, there is no shortage of hearts in my jewelry creating these days. But I want to tell you about some special hearts that I've come to love. These special little hearts are made by my sweet friend Lisa Souers. Lisa is this full of energy, darling and happy woman who has inspired me by her business, her laughter, and her zest for life. You'll see many of her ephemera hearts have shown up on some of my designs this season. I think they go perfectly with my Vintage designs. See for yourself here on my Embarcardero Bracelet - so fun! http://www.etsy.com/listing/66957361/embarcadero-bracelet-vintage-brass

So here's to a lovely Sweetheart Day . . . who makes your heart go pitter patter??? Tell me "your" story and be entered into a giveaway to win my "Lil Crush Necklace". http://www.etsy.com/listing/67065747/the-lil-crush-necklace-swarovski-crystal
I will pick a random winner on on Tuesday, February 8 so you'll have your necklace before the big day!
