Fab Freebie: Housewears

*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries.***

Ok, so maybe you didn’t get that bit of bling you wanted for Valentine’s Day earlier this month. Here’s your chance to rectify the situation with some personalized jewelry from Lisa Leonard Designs. She even sells home decor-related pieces like necklaces with a chandelier, paper lanterns, frames and a house key on them. If those aren’t designs after our own home-loving hearts than we don’t know what is.

I’m not so good with the jewelry lingo, but word on the street (or at least from the pregnant lady standing behind me right now) is that Lisa’s hand-cut and hand-hammered sterling silver necklaces, bracelets and earrings are well-worth shouting “oooh, I love that one… and that one… and that one” in your husband’s ear. In fact, Sherry loved the earrings that Lisa sent her way so much that we recently bought a set for my little sister’s birthday. And they barely take them off (so yes, my sister and my wife are often at family events sporting matching earrings).

Lisa Leonard Pic2

And if you’re having trouble picking a favorite, perhaps this will make life a bit easier: Lisa Leonard Designs is giving away TWO $100 gift certificates towards anything in her store, so our winners can snag more than one thing if they just can’t decide. Plus if you don’t win, they’re generously dishing out a discount to everyone else, so stay tuned for that along with our winner announcement on Thursday. In the meantime, here’s how to enter:

  • PRIZE: A $100 credit towards anything in Lisa Leonard Design’s entire collection
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “WEAR ME” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …tell us about something in your closet that doubles (or that you wish could double) as home decor. Do you display your purse collection for all to see? Do you swag a scarf over a hook by the door for some color? Or do you have a favorite dress whose fabric would look awesome as curtains or an accent pillow?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, February 24th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: All over the globe!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    I love to show off my jewelry! I collect milk glass (much like Sherry’s coveted white ceramics) and I hang earrings, necklaces, and show off bracelets in the bowls, vases and plates. Just their little pop of color adds interest to a table top. I hope I can add to the collection! ;)

    Actually, our closet *is* home decor! In our first apartment together, the closet space was a bit sparse, as well as the wall, so the handy-dandy boyfriend built a cubby-furniture-thing that both provides color in the room from all our clothing, and also functions as a shelf to put framed pictures and vases of flowers on. Handy-dandy I’m telling you!

    I really don’t think anything in either my or my husband’s closet has ever been as an intentional decoration. Though there are the occasional sweaters and other clothing items draped over the back of chairs that seem to stay there for a day or so.

    I would love to make a quilt out of old t-shirts that are both mine and my husbands but have yet to do so.
    I have however made a quilt for my son with all of my favorite outfits of his during his first year of life. It’s something he treasures now at 8. He loves looking back at the pieces and hearing the stories.

    My tradional Japanese kimonos are both for wearing and decorative use, once in a while we actually hang them up on the wall for all to see, since they are so beautiful and fit in with the rest of our Japanese inspired home!

    “WEAR ME!” I am lacking in the wardrobe-turned-decor department save my bag on a chair by the front door, but when my brother’s girlfriend was in an accident and the paramedics sliced open her favorite Police T-shirt, my mother created a pillow out of the cut garment for her. It looks so fabulous in their living room! :-)

    Wear Me! I am so excited about this giveaway- I’ve been eying her designs for a while now!

    I would love to design a room based on my favorite pair of shoes- they very classic in silhouette, but have a funky color scheme that make them unique- just the way I think a perfect room should be.
