what a year… Thank you to all of you who have supported the blog this year. It has truly been wonderfully life changing and so much fun…more than I ever expected and opened up avenues I could not have imagined. To celebrate many months of good fortune and to kick off the new year, I am doing my first ever giveaway!! THIS IS RARE and I think I will only do it a few times a year, maybe just at Christmas so take advantage. My friend Geradline Guivas is an AMAZING fashionista and one-of-a-kind clothing designer. I love all of the things she makes, very textural and sculptural - right up my alley. She has an inspirational fashion blog that I adore,  Passion for Shoes, and over the summer I saw her at a photoshoot with Bret Sano wearing this gorgeous necklace. She handmakes them and I have one. It’s so lovely. In fact, I have it out in my home just hanging on a white compote to enjoy every day.

I am signing off until the new year — we are headed to my parents farm to do some much needed relaxing and spend time with family. I’ll post pics of the farm New Year’s day and am over -the -moon about sharing with you Vynsie Law’s bright and fun home (We are 1976) early next year. Until then, I wish you and all of your families a wonderful holiday!!  happy, merry and love to all!

(several pics of the necklace below and one of Geraldine wearing it for scale…fyi, it’s about 24 inches long)

This is the compote I have it hanging on sitting on antique books painted white. Pretty pretty. And then I just scattered it around on different things just so you all could have several views.

And the ever attractive, Geraldine…You can purchase this necklace here (just incase you aren’t the lucky winner) and check out some of Geraldine’s other creations. The winner will be announced New Years Day and submissions will be accepted through midnight on Dec 31. Please email your first and last name as well as where you are from (it’s fun to know!) to sam@styleswoon.com
