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!

Not really a closet item, but I have my perfume bottles on display in my bathroom on a pretty tray.
Amanda says
WEAR ME!
My best friend got rid of a dress she absolutely loved because it didn’t fit anymore. I snagged it out of her Goodwill pile when she wasn’t looking and surprised her with an apron and other items I made from the fabric of the dress. She has all of the items displayed throughout her house.

Sarah says
WEAR ME
I love to hang my scarves on the hooks in our mudroom. Yet I get totally mad when the hubby2b leaves various jackets there for too long! My scarves are strategically places accessories not clutter!
Renae says
Wear me!
I’d love to make this one sweater I have into a pillow. I’ve often thought of tying the arms behind it and tucking the bottom up underneath but am afraid it’d all just end up in a heap from those crazy kids of mine. Oh well, maybe I should hit goodwill and make me one?! :)
Melle Dettenmaier says
WEAR ME!
My husbands button-up shirts are always so nice that I hate to throw them out (or donate them) so they usually end up as throw pillows. I have even made a baby quilt out of old dress shirts.
On a side note – my sisters and I used to make “tie-skirts” in our high school days. We would go to the local goodwill and buy a ton of ties which we would then sew into a skirt. They were always a big hit!

I have a great skirt and the print would be fantastic for a couch pillow… Seriously, I think I’m going to make the conversion. Great idea!!!
Beverly Lynn says

I love seeing my jewelry displayed on a little stand on my vanity. It has a very still-life quality to it!
Stef says
WEAR ME!
I have my larger beaded necklaces slung over a corner of dresser mirror, and like the look of them. It started out as a necessity (they took up too much room in my jewelry box) and now I like how they look there.
Shirley says
WEAR ME
I love collecting all sorts of knit sweaters. They remind me of my grandma when she used to knit. When they are past their prime, I reuse them to make pillows and small drawstring bags where I store little valuables.
Liz says
WEAR ME
I display my necklaces on the wall between my husband’s and my closets. They are hanging on clear hooks staggered across the space.

Wear Me! If the earrings you are talking about are the ones pictured, I see why the ladies in your life love them. I love them too( & would really love a pair of my own- please may the random number generator gods be smiling on me ) I did once turn an ill fitting sweater into a throw pillow -it’s sort of lop-sided but my cats like it:)-Dee

Saralyn says
WeAr Me! Ok, Bridesmaid dresses! We all should have at least one (or 27ish) in our closets, right? So, one thing I have done in the past is make pillows out of the fabric. This can make a really cool gift for the bride as well. :-)

Carolina says
I just looked through lisaleonardonline.com and really, her entire line of jewelry screams, “WEAR ME!” I have a feeling even if I don’t win one of these two generous gift certificates I will be the proud owner of something (or many somethings) from her shop.
WEAR ME!
I happen to really love the look of wool peacoats, and I love keeping them hung up on the coat tree we have in our entry way – a good looking reminder of the brisk cold out.
