ElisabethSpace Jewelry: Guest Post & Giveaway!

ElisabethSpace Jewelry was born out of a desire to create with the stones, rocks, and minerals I've loved since I was a child. After coming home from an impromptu visit to my first bead show back in 2005, I found myself with a heap of beautiful stones, but no knowledge of what to do with them - buying stones for their inherent beauty seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to me. After staring at the beads and rocks for 3 months, I decided to try to cobble something together, hoping it wouldn't fall apart while wearing it. As luck would have it, that first necklace was a success (one that I still wear to this day, pictured above) and I was hooked.

Aquamarine Earrings / Amethyst Pendant / Beaded Quartz Earrings

Even though I never assumed this would be my life's path, I've been fortunate enough to be my own boss since 2010, focusing on jewelry and the inner-workings of a small business, day in and day out.

Aquamarine Earrings / Brass Fringe Earrings / Green Statement Earrings
  The metal tumbler & soldering pickle pot (yes, that's a thing!) might get left out on the kitchen counter and what was once a dining room is now my chaotic studio. I feel fortunate that my home life and work life are so visibly, deeply intertwined, allowing me to never forget how grateful I am for being able to do what I do on a daily basis.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't you think Elisabeth is extremely talented?!  I personally love to make jewelry (just for fun), but I don't have the skill or patience necessary to create these gorgeous pieces.  You can tell that she pays attention to every little detail and really cares about her customers being happy with their purchases!
Elisabeth wanted to give you the chance to win something from her shop and she thought you all would love these pretty star earrings, so one of you will be winning a pair of these cuties!  The giveaway will be open until September 30th and is only open to those with a U.S. shipping address.  Make sure to use the Rafflecopter widget below.  Also, make sure you check out the Jennifer Leigh Blog Giveaway, the DownEast Basics Giveaway, and the Julep Maven Giveaway! If you haven't noticed, I like giveaways!  I get all excited when someone wins :)

  1. Wow so pretty! It is usually the thing we don't think we could make a life path out of, that ends up being what were about.
