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.

Lisa Leonard Pic1

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!

    Wear me! I have a scarf that belonged to my husband’s grandmother that is draped over the top of one of those cheap round tables from Target – spiffs up the plain white cloth that is on there with some bright pink stripes!

    I love to use my daughter out grown baby items as decor. Small baby shoes, tiaras, and special keepsake bracelets from costumes remind me of the days when they were so little.

    My wonderful fiance bought a plaid cashmere scarf for me in The Big Apple while on a business trip. It’s gorgeous and soft and I keep it hanging on a floor-length mirror all year round. It did get lots of use this winter though!

    My shoes and purses are out in my bedroom, but that’s due to lack of closet space. I do, however, frequently admire the pretty shoes hanging on the back of the door.

    I use all of my purses and handbags as decor. They hang from ceiling to floor on a thin 1.5 foot wall just inside the door. I have also always wanted to get a little ladder to lean against the wall and hook all of my colorful pumps over the rungs as decoration, but I have two cats that would make it very difficult to keep things orderly!

    i have used the scarf swag trick — but i have also repurposed a lot of clothing into pillow covers and window treatments. I have even been known to buy multiple shirts with cool patterns to make matching pillows.

    btw, i love those earrings in your post! i had a similiar pair which my cat took on his own.

    I love my closet. It’s small (as I share it with my hubby), but my half has just enough space for my hanging clothes and I put in some shelves for my folded items. All of my hangers match (anal about that) and I have some woven baskets for underthings. Everything is quite neat and organized – it makes me want to keep the closet door open — but only on my half, my husband’s side is cramped and he doesn’t care so much what it looks like. :)

    Sorry for the multiple exclamation points. I’ve been eying these necklaces since the birth of my daughter but won’t pull the trigger. I will buy her any and everything, but won’t treat myself!
