Feather Earring Giveaway!

courtneyriandirks@gmail.com (Courtney Dirks) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 13:14:26 -0700

Thanks to my friend, Tracy...I have a new obsession making feather earrings...Tracy put me up to the challenge of making Peacock feather earrings for her bridesmaids this summer and now it's morphed into making feather earrings of various shapes and sizes! I love that feathers are so light to wear...you forget that you're even have any earrings on at all! I guess that's why there's that expression, "light as a feather."

Anyway, enough with my tangents and on with the fun stuff! To enter this contest, all you have to do is leave a comment telling me which color is your favorite or which color/style of feather you wish I had available and I'll randomly select a winner tomorrow (10/21) and send a pair of feather earrings (your pick) out to you! You can keep them for yourself or give them away to a feather admiring friend, whatever your heart desires!

And if you want to see them and try them on in person, I'll be selling these bad boys at Urban Craft Uprising's Winter Show coming up on December 3rd & 4th at the Seattle Center! Hope to see you there! (!!!!! - are you tired of exclamation points yet?!?)
