Oh, how I love giveaways! This series is going to be awesome! It was The Nester's idea to encourage her readers to shop with real, live people for the holidays this year.
I got so excited that I jumped right on her bandwagon. I will be hosting a series of giveaways from some of my favorite Etsy sellers over the next few weeks. Stay tuned because there will be lots of great stuff!
Bianca of Just Be Designs is one of my all-time favorite Etsy sellers.
She is a girl after my own heart because she takes bits and pieces of what some people might see as junk and makes them into beautiful pieces of jewelry.
I have two of her charm bracelets and I love, love, love them. I receive compliments every time I wear them.
Her pieces are so feminine and romantic. Perfect for the girly-girl in me.
And she will resize anything to fit you. She resized both of my bracelets for my freakishly small wrists in no time at all.
You know Christmas is coming, right? I feel passionate about supported real, live people with my purchases whenever I can. Here's a great chance to do that. This beautiful charm bracelet! Isn't it gorgeous? Bianca calls it Bits and Baubles in Silver. I call it perfect!
So what is the giveaway?
What do you need to do? Go look around at Just Be Designs. Then come back here and leave me a comment that tells me which piece is your favorite. That's it! And if you feel like doing a little shopping right there, I'm sure Bianca won't mind a bit. :-)
The contest will close Wednesday at midnight and the winner will be announced on Thursday morning!
And go check out what's going on at Nesting Place! The Nester is doing fabulous giveaways, as well!

Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. I'll be sure and take some time to really shop this site, she's got some beauties!
Oh, I think I would choose the vintage glam once again necklace, to wear to a ball for the holidays, if I had a ball to go to
I found you via Nester. ThanX for a chance to enter the giveaway. My favorite piece is the "Paris Je Taime" bracelet. Magnifique!

I love the Bits and Baubles in Silver Tones. They all are beautiful pieces.

Hi Kimba! Flutterby is beautiful..
These are soooo pretty. I love the necklaces especially (I'm a big-necklace kind of girl). What a great idea to host giveaways like this, Kimba! :-)
The locket and chain bracelet caught my eye. Way creative!
I love those "plop" rings that she has made out of an old earring that has since lost it's partner. Might be getting me one of those.
Thanks for this giveaway. Great idea!
Blessings,
Anna
I love her jewelry! My fav is Bits and Baubles. It brings back memories of my sweet mom's jewelry. As a little girl I would play in her jewelry drawer and dream of one day wearing it!
I love the Decadence Delivered (I think it's the first one you have pictured in your post) and I love the Adornment locket. So pretty and feminine.
I love the green baubles! She has some great stuff!
Came across you blog from Simple Mom. Love it! And my favorite piece is "Love Is." So charming and romantic.
I like the "Reworked Cameo Necklace@
I hafta have the Beachy Bracelet, so I hope I win ;) I love that little square colored charm in the picture. I'd wear it all year long to remember our beach vacations.
I love the locket and chain. It's so simple yet so pretty. Although all the Alice pieces are great as well. Thanks for introducing me to this shop. I saved it in my etsy file for shopping.

This is the neatest idea! I love Etsy, but don't always have time to click around. This is a great way to showcase some wonderful artists!
All of the items at Just Be Designs are gorgeous, but I especially liked her "Beachy Bracelet". It combined my love of the ocean with some great colors & eye-catching items.
Thanks for sharing!
Love tons of her things but my favorites are: Crossing & Pearly Pie Earrings (not at the same time).
Thanks for the chance to win a great bracelet!
I love the Alice and Pinky Pie bracelet! Sooooo pretty and feminine!
Desdimona is beautiful!! Loved it. My 6 year old daughter was walking through the room when she seen the site. She's in love with all the Alice pieces. Her daddy is not going to be happy to have another female who oooo's & ahhhhh's over jewelry pieces. LOL
Alice and Pinkie Pie Pearlies is so pretty! I love the pink. Thanks for the giveaway! What fun!
While I did look at every pretty piece of art on her Etsy site, I kept coming back to The Birdie in the Golden Cage...maybe it has something to do with my name...I know it is because that piece is so adorable! Thanks for the opportunity of this giveaway!
Okay Kimba I had a hard time picking one thing as my favorite but I love the beachy braclet it was so wonderful.

I love Decadence Delivered. I wouldn't of looked at a shoe clip and thought "ahh...pendant" I love this series you and Nester are doing. I think it is a fantastic idea.
I love those little birdies in the golden cages! They are adorable and for sure different than what anyone else would be wearing. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow, she has some great stuff in her shop, it's hard to choose. I'd probably have to go with "Lure of the Locket". Something about lockets just draws me to them. This one is so classic and beautiful.

I love the sainted and charmed bracelet, so cute. THe one you are giving away is really nice :D
Love the "redness" necklace and the passionate bracelet.

I really like the Triple Treat vintage necklace, because I am an idiot when it comes to layering accessories, and that does it for me! ;)
I also really like the Vintage Glam pieces - they remind me of the costume jewelry from my great-grandmother that I played with as a child.
How does one choose? They are all beautiful! My favorite I think is Alice in Pie bracelet.
