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).

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 dont like boring socks so I always snag them right after any holiday on super clearance. That means they are all halloween, christmas, vday oriented and could probably double as holiday decor! I also never match them so like today I have one santa sock and one easter sock! :)

I don’t display any clothes or accessories as art right now…but my husband has two hats from his travels (a sombrero and some kind of felt hat from Austria) that have been hiding in a closet for ever, and I plan to put them up on the wall in our son’s nursery to fit with the world travel theme for the room.

    I have a ton of vintage dresses from my grandmother. The lace on them, the detail work on the trims….ahhhh, if it could be a set of tableclothes or linens, I’d be in heaven. They really went all out with the details back then. I’ve actually ripped one of them apart that had some beautiful tatting and put it behind glass, and it’s now a picutre I hang in one of my rooms.

    I used to display my jewelry on a burlap covered bulletin board. I hooked the earrings right into the burlap, and draped necklaces and bracelets on pins. All my jewelry is now in a case in my closet and I’ve been looking at ways to get it back out on display.

    I store all my magazines on the top shelf in my closet in white Ikea cardboard magazine boxes (an inexpensive way to keep them organized). Every so often I’ll pull out a few or switch them up depending on the season and put them on the end table in the living room for others to glance through. I’ve been pulling out a few of my gardening magazines since Spring isn’t that far off (or so I keep telling myself) — a little inspiration for the upcoming season and the flowers on the cover brighten up the room!

    “Wear Me”
    I lovingly display various pieces of jewelry on top of my dressing table (vanity)…swapping the pieces out every other month or so. Even if I don’t actually wear each and every piece on a regular basis, I get to enjoy looking at them when I’m doing my makeup and getting dressed for the day!!
