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).

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!

    WEAR ME

    I love hats and scarves!! I display all of my hats, and trust me there are many, on the back of my bedroom door with hooks. It is sort of a colorful hodgepodge of hats but it is cute and functional storage. I also hang the occasional scarf on the bed post or mirror to add color and have been known to buy scarves specifically to use as a table runner.

    wear me! I have a little obsession with insane shoes. I live in the country, on an island, so can’t really wear them, but oh, how I love them. Simple long ikea free floating shelves, and they make a perfect display in my bedroom for my shoes.

    I’m going to break the rules a wee bit. Straight from my husband’s closet, we used a couple of his neckties as tiebacks for our curtains. Tres chic! Okay… maybe not chic, but eclectic!

    I have a few maternity dresses that I may convert to throw pillows once I’m done having children. The patterns are just that cute (and there is certainly enough fabric to pull it off!).

    WEAR ME. I have a cute kids coat rack in my bedroom, and I keep cute scarves, hats, and bling and beaded purses on it. It decorates my space, and I wear the pieces more if they are in full view while I’m getting dressed. I changed it out as get bored.

    I have a floral silk top that I love. I have always thought it would add a lovely pop of color to my couch if reinvented as a pillow…

    PS — I hope I win! My little girl was born just three weeks ago and I have been coveting the personalized pendants Lisa makes. So precious!

    We have a scarf rack hanging by the front door which doubles as practical and awesome entry-way decor that adds a nice pop of color. And, it is pretty much always decorated seasonally since we swap out our scarves for whatever we can wear at the moment.
