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.

Lisa Leonard Pic1

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).

Lisa Leonard Pic2

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!

    I had some sheets I had bought in India that don’t fit on American beds so I used them as wall hangings or throw blankets for a little while.

    I love love love Lisa Leonard designs and have been ogling the necklaces and other amazing things for some time now! On top of my husband’s and my dresser I have a rack which is made to look like a mini coat hanger on which hangs all of my necklaces and bracelets. I also have a metal stand that looks like a flower and all of my earrings hang off of the leaves. It is such a great way to display my jewelry, and keeps it functional but also a piece of art for our bedroom!

    I leave the cute boots out of the closet right now…Some tall cowboy boots look just right, next to my husband’s, by the fireplace. And the rainboots all in a row in the mudroom make me smile…especially the litlte toddler ones. :)

    one word- SHOES. you can never have too many shoes just like you can never have too many fun fabrics to sew things with. And call me a nerd (because I am) but I have outfits in my closet that coordinate with rooms in my house (just realized that last week). Hey, if Candice Olson can match the rooms she divinely designs, why can’t my shoes match my Kitchenaid mixer?

    I have a Victorian style necklace holder that is an integral part of my bedroom decor – along with all of the necklaces on it! I also have a basket in the den that contains my many scarves (my husband says too many!) that I think is so pretty with all of the colors that it doesn’t have to ever be put away!

    I want to WEAR ME some Lisa Leonard Designs!! For decor and wear I have a jewelry sorter that hangs on the wall in our bathroom (little square pockets for each necklace/earrings) and it definitely adds some spunk and creativity for our bathroom! And since my OCD of liking things organized (wink!) it’s very simple, colorful, and fun! (at least for me it is!)

    Wear me! Okay, I have to be honest … I don’t have it yet. BUT a bit of a double-duty shirt if you will … my mother is going to be making me a pillow made out of the shirt my boyfriend wore on our first date. I know, I know – so cheesy. But the only reason he isn’t wearing it anymore is because he wore out the elbows – given the sentimental value I couldn’t bear for him to toss it out.

    We actually use my husbands straw cowboy hat as decor right inside our front door. It’s a permanent fixture on our coat hook and definitely gives off that “Come on in and take your shoes off and relax” vibe we love.

    I like to display all my jewelry on pretty metal hooks, in ceramic bowls etc… so they are not closed up in a jewelry box. I have a walk in closet, so one wall has all my colorful necklaces lined up on it- which looks pretty cool.
