Chrissy Gemmill Jewelery

Photobucket
Hello, Smile and Wave readers! My name is Chrissy Gemmill. I am a jewelry designer, teacher, wife and mom to a sweet 2 year old boy! I have a blog where I chronicle my little world through my journey as a self-employed girl living in the beautiful historic town of Frederick, MD. I also sell my handcrafted jewelry on Etsy!

Photobucket
My jewelry collection, which includes layered chains, chain mail, sterling silver skulls, owls, flowers and lockets, upholds the delicate balance of femininity and edge. Reflecting the past, my line also includes vintage chain, antique buttons, beads and skeleton keys. Naturally oxidized by time, the re-purposed materials I use are combined with oxidized sterling silver to reveal modern vintage jewelry.

Photobucket
My giveaway item is these little Lotus Flower Earrings. The earrings are handmade in sterling silver that I oxidized. The retail value of these earrings is $46.

Photobucket
Giveaway: $25 credit to the shop and surprise gift.


************************************
MadeYaLook

Madeyalook is pleased to be able to offer these vintage Northern American Beauties as a sponsor giveaway for April. I understand the marketing of these prints made the sale of Northern skyrocket back in the late 50's and early 60's.

Photobucket
These 4 girls are in the original package, measure 11 x 14, and I don't think they have ever been framed. These are just a taste of vintage offerings from MadeYaLook.

Photobucket
Retails for $40+.


***********************************

Start celebrating your story with a Gadanke journal. After all, your story matters!

Photobucket
Each book is built with 100% recycled paper, textured European paper, pockets, library cards, and embellishments that are just perfect for documenting your world. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll never forget.

Giveaway is for a $25 gift certificate to Gadanke.

I love to collect and look at skeleton keys...Just to think about all the hands that have touched them through time and all the doors they have unlocked and secrets they have kept behind the lock...To me they also represent unlocking opportunities of the future and, of coarse, keys to unlock the heart....

Unknown said...

I collect favorites on etsy. I spend hours a day adding and subtracting them and when there is just something i cannot live without, I buy it. I also collect notebooks. Since, I was little I have filled hundreds of notebooks with ideas and inspiration.
