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!

    I do have a dress framed having in my closet that no longer fits because it was a baby dress of mine my mom had saved. I live in a house with all boys(huband and 2 sons) I look at it every morning while getting dressed and it just makes me happy.

    Wear Me!! Unless coats and my purses, and shoes in the basket at the bottom of my stairs count as “beign displayed”, I don’t display much, however, that is a fantastic idea and a good way to remind me of what I have stuffed into the closet!! Btw, I really want to win this one!! :)

    Wear Me! This isn’t from my closet but hopefully it counts! I bought my father a tee shirt one year from the Frank Jones Brewery in Vermont (I think.) His name was Frank Jones. When he died two years ago, that was one of his belongings that I asked my mother for. I bought a Tee Shirt frame and have it hanging in our family room. It makes me smile and think about my dad and his wonderful sense of humor every time I pass it.

    i have necklaces hung up on the wall near my mirror and bathroom door. they add a bit of sparkle to my bedroom, and it stops them getting tangled. it also encourages me to wear them because i see them as i’m getting ready in the morning! i like to leave my scarves out, too, on hooks by the door or maybe draped over the arm of the couch. adds a little bit of texture, and it keeps them within easy reach in case it gets chilly in the living room.

    Hang a couple of front hinged shadow boxes or display cases just like you would for a picture arrangement. But since they open….add a few stick pins and hang your earrings and necklaces on display. Whether you hang them in your closet or out in the bedroom they add visual interest and you can do a quick look over when picking out jewelry in the morning.

    WEAR ME! I accidentally tend to display collections of necklackes and other jewelery in small dishes on end tables and other areas of the house. It just happens that I throw my jewelery in one at the end of the day as a centralized location so that I don’t lose them but it looks like an end table treasure chest!

    I wish I could get the guts to take all of my older clothing (the stuff that’s out of date/style/nearly worn out/etc) and use it to make things for my home. I’m stuck with a combo of not enough time/attachment to the clothing, though, so it’s a concept I’m working up to. :o)
