One-World-One-Heart
I just found out about this wonderful event, and decided to join in on the fun.
It is created and organized by Lisa Oceandreamer at Heart of the Nest, the original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way.
So, to take part I am giving away one of my handmade necklaces!! It is a one-of-a-kind paua and glass bead necklace on a suede cord. The centrepiece is a gorgeous piece of paua shell 2cm x 3cm which shimmers with blue, green, purple and pink. the cord is 45cm long and the dangles of glass beads and paua hang 8cm below the paua centrepiece. Put together, it is a beautiful, shimmery necklace with lovely movement and colour.
Paua is the New Zealand Maori name for the local species of abalone. To Maori it is considered taonga, or treasure, esteemed both as seafood and it’s shell as a valued resource for traditional and contemporary arts and crafts. It is iconic in New Zealand.
All you have to do to win it is leave a comment on this post telling me a little something about yourself. To give you some ideas - how about telling me what your favourite band is, or the blog you visit most frequently, or your favourite thing to do on a rainy day, or something new you just learned - anything!! The point of this event is to meet and get to know new people via blogging, so lets start by sharing something about ourselves. Please also include the URL of your blog so I can visit you.
Ok, the formal stuff - to enter you must have a working blog, leave a comment on this post with your blog URL and a little something about yourself before February 14th. This is open to anyone anywhere in the world. On the 15th I will use a random number generator to select a comment number. I will then post you the necklace that will hopefully attract lots of lovely compliments to you.
Good luck!!
