Freebies from the Crib: Kelly Couture




So, like any creative person, Kelly decided if she couldn't buy it, she would just have to make it herself. Immediately, Kelly got compliments on her hand stamped jewelry. And finally, after prodding from lots of friends & quite a few strangers, she decided to set up shop... and she's been busy ever since.

"It's such a great feeling knowing that someone, out there in the world, is anxiously awaiting something i've created. & i love making jewelry that is special & memorable to the wearer".
Kelly Couture tags filled with your kids names (or inspirational words) hung on a bracelet or a necklace couldn't make a more perfect Mother's Day gift (listen-up all you DH lurkers, May is just around the corner!). I can tell you right now, I have my necklace order already placed with my husband (and I have made sure Kelly knows exactly what I want too). And that is the great thing about kelly couture, if you don't see exactly what you want in her etsy store, just let her know and she will figure out how to give you exactly what you had in mind.

To the winner of this freebie, Kelly is offering any jewelry item from her shop up to $50. And since nothing in her shop is listed for over $45, you have so many choices!
Seriously, don't forget to pass the word along about Kelly Couture jewelry to everyone looking for that perfect, personalized gift for Mom or Grandma this Mother's Day.
You can also keep up with Kelly and her crafting ADD at her blog, according to kelly...

I’d be delighted to win something for my daughter who is expecting her first child next week. When she was young, it was necessary for her to have large uterine fibroid tumors removed. Luckily, the oncologist was able to save her scarred uterus. She had great difficulty conceiving for years and suffered a miscarriage. Happily, she will be having her first baby next week (c-section). Her pregnancy has been high-risk, but she’s been a trooper. I know she'd cherish a piece of your fabulous jewelry.
