Honorable Mentions:
Thank you to all who featured me on their blogs, you went the extra mile and I am glad you shared the giveaway happiness!
My favorite inspiration entry: by Rotem who said, “everything that is old! old people (the way the talk, dress, the Wrinkles…), old furniture (the way the color tends to peel, the curves…), old clothing (the fabric, pattern and even the smell!)”
And Stelle’s inspiration: she said, “I’m inspired by people, their emotions, their lives and their (and also my) mistakes”

Since it is in fact my favorite month of the year…August, I thought I would celebrate with all of my favorite people out there (that’s you, reading this right now!) with a giveaway.
This month I am featuring an all natural wood and moss necklace – hand crafted to imperfection by me – Mr. Lentz. The wood is stained with an all-natural, non toxic mix created with walnut husks and vinegar. The moss is real and has been dried and preserved so you don’t have to water it! Just wear, enjoy, repeat, and tell all of your friends and family that you won it on MrLentz.com
Winners will be picked at random based on the entry rule or two below.
First Place: The Wood and Moss Necklace of course! Shipped right to your front door.
Second Place: You get to pick out a fish (from the photo below) that I am going to put in my fish tank. (I need more fish, the others are lonely)

Third Place: 50% off any jewelry item in my etsy shop.
