Whimsy jewelry

I just wanted to share with everyone that I won my first giveaway this week - from Haute Whimsy (www.hautewhimsy.com)! If you haven't checked out Jen's blog already, definitely click on the link and enjoy... she is a great writer and has fabulous giveaways! :)

The prize was the "A Bit of Whimsy" focal necklace from Creative.Manifestations by Jillian Matney, whose designs you can (and should!) browse on www.jillian1984.etsy.com. I am wearing it below with a matte purple vintage lace dress, my Guess biker jacket and leopard print Steve Madden platform heels (shoes not pictured... but you get the idea!) - click on the images to get a better look at the little bicycle pendant. A big thank you again to both Jillian and Jen!

















Other beautiful Creative.Manifestations pieces include (below, from left to right) the A Delicate Treat Necklace, Flapper Ring, Amelia Glass Amethyst Ring and Sit With Me 3 Owls Necklace - all on Jill's Etsy site at very reasonable prices. Go take a look!















Also, on a completely different note, I will be appearing tomorrow at the Turkish-Balkan Park Fest in Prospect Park as an Eastern European Hittite Ottoman Queen (one of my very unusual part time jobs). Check out the festival website for more info (http://www.turkishdaysinny.org/ProspectPark.aspx)!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend, and do come out to Prospect Park if you are a New Yorker! There will be food, arts, handcraft, rugs.... and Ottoman Queens, of course!
