I announced the winner of my Lia Sophia contest today...Melodee Cooper of The Cooper Chronicles is walking away with the BEAUTIFUL Lia Sophia necklace "Meadow".
But I got an even better surprise...
MY OWN JEWELRY!!
I took advantage of that AMAZING deal I told you about in my giveaway...ya' know the one... where you buy 6 pieces of jewelry, pay full price for the two least expensive items and get the four more expensive items 1/2 off...and then Sunni took an additional $10 off my order!! It was a GREAT bargain...and I got to get some really pretty pieces of jewelry. PLUS...I got some hostess gifts for doing the giveaway in the first place!!!
I just have to wear them all before my husband finds out...or else I'll be buried in them...
So...I got the Fortune pendant and earrings...
Aren't they beautiful?
And the Figi bracelet and Agave necklace...
Ohhs and Ahhs...
And the Mandalay Bay necklace and earrings...
I really love the colors on this...it'll go with EVERYTHING...
And I'm waiting on my hostess gift, the Bora Bora necklace...which is STUNNING...
And, of course...I couldn't GIVE AWAY the Meadow necklace and not get one for myself...
Isn't it GORGEOUS? My Magpie gene mutation is seriously in overdrive...
Something I didn't know about the jewelry...but was pleasantly surprised to discover, is that each piece comes with this little paper describing the polished stone, or shell, or whatever. It tells all about it...history, where its found, how its made. In my Mandalay Bay necklace box, there were, like, THREE sheets telling me all about the different stones, their history...even mystic properties!! Below is the description from the Meadow necklace...
And since I have you here oogling...these are some pieces I picked up in Utah at one of the trendy and clever boutiques on Cedar City's Main Street...
First there is this jangly bracelet with turquoise beads, which I bought little turquoise drop earrings to match (the earrings are real...but the bracelet is imitation...)
And I know it's similar...but I loved all the droopy things on this turquoise bracelet...
And lastly, I grabbed this triple looped beaded number in a pretty peridot green...
Also with lots of droopies and bangles...
I'm feeling a little overly-satisfied...like after Thanksgiving dinner when you sit back and loosen your belt.
But it feels good.
Hey...the new Fall/Winter catalog just came out...and I made the mistake of looking. It's got some BEAUTIFUL stuff...
Like this sparkly duo called Patina...
And this gorgeous necklace called Havana that appeals to my jungle sensibilities in ways I never thought possible (and although I like it in gold, it also comes in SILVER...)
And THIS stunner makes me think of home...aptly named Desert Bloom (I think I started salivating when I saw it...is that possible?)
And then there is this bracelet/necklace/earring combo that is SO SPARKLY that I almost horded just the PAGE it was on...called Emerald City...
But hey...those are just MY favorites...there are over 65 pages of gorgeous jewelry in the Fall/Winter catalog...all of it is worthy of Magpie Mutants everywhere. If you're interested...check out the site at www.liasophia.com/sunni , or contact her at:
Until then...I'll be decked out in the jungle...
I bet if you look closely enough, you'll see me sparkling in the next satellite image from space!!
