Fab Freebie: Housewears

*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries.***

Ok, so maybe you didn’t get that bit of bling you wanted for Valentine’s Day earlier this month. Here’s your chance to rectify the situation with some personalized jewelry from Lisa Leonard Designs. She even sells home decor-related pieces like necklaces with a chandelier, paper lanterns, frames and a house key on them. If those aren’t designs after our own home-loving hearts than we don’t know what is.

I’m not so good with the jewelry lingo, but word on the street (or at least from the pregnant lady standing behind me right now) is that Lisa’s hand-cut and hand-hammered sterling silver necklaces, bracelets and earrings are well-worth shouting “oooh, I love that one… and that one… and that one” in your husband’s ear. In fact, Sherry loved the earrings that Lisa sent her way so much that we recently bought a set for my little sister’s birthday. And they barely take them off (so yes, my sister and my wife are often at family events sporting matching earrings).

And if you’re having trouble picking a favorite, perhaps this will make life a bit easier: Lisa Leonard Designs is giving away TWO $100 gift certificates towards anything in her store, so our winners can snag more than one thing if they just can’t decide. Plus if you don’t win, they’re generously dishing out a discount to everyone else, so stay tuned for that along with our winner announcement on Thursday. In the meantime, here’s how to enter:

  • PRIZE: A $100 credit towards anything in Lisa Leonard Design’s entire collection
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “WEAR ME” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …tell us about something in your closet that doubles (or that you wish could double) as home decor. Do you display your purse collection for all to see? Do you swag a scarf over a hook by the door for some color? Or do you have a favorite dress whose fabric would look awesome as curtains or an accent pillow?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, February 24th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: All over the globe!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    WEAR ME! We have some built-in shelves in the closet that my husband wanted to use for his clothes, but I got him to put them somewhere else so I could put my purses, scarves, and jewelry boxes there to make for a prettier display.

    and I am soooo coveting the chandelier “sparkle” necklace!

    I have a striped menswear shirt that would make an awesome duvet cover and sham set if I had, like, 12 yards of the fabric. But I just have the shirt. It’s still a great shirt!

    Last summer I was inspired by your blog posts about displaying jewelry as art. I have some great jewelry that I never used to wear because I didn’t feel like digging around for it. Now its displayed in our bedroom and I wear a piece (or two) everyday!

    I have a couple of sweaters that are super soft – I’d love to have them as pillows, that would be heaven. Unfortunately, I think that the fabric is too delicate.

    I would love to display my vintage dress collection. I’ve long since outgrown the dresses and was always a little nervous wearing something that survived 40 years only to be ruined by a spill or rip.

    Wear Me! Hmm…. I’d love to say I drape my purse on our baker’s rack and that it looks nice… but well, my husband would disagree.

    However, I can say that I took Vera Bradley Napkins and turned them into 4 squares (canvas stretchers, quilting batting) and hang them together to look like a ribbon board :)Close?

    In our old appartment I used to have an awesome walk-in closet where I had my shoes displayed in pride of place, always made me smile, sadly having moved to a london sized appartment there is no room for them in my wardrobe there isnt enough room for all my clothes! I haven’t posted anything since you two announced your big news so let me say congratulations- very happy for you!! I keep passing on your blog to so many friends!

    In college, my scarves doubled as Christmas tree decorations. While our tree these days has more traditional ornaments, we do use our overabundance of Disney antennae toppers as ornaments, too!

    I made an earring holder/display out of a picture frame — you take out the glass, hot-glue wire mesh in its place, and screw a piece of molding onto the bottom so it will stand up. All of my colorful earrings make it a very interesting piece of ‘art’!
