a golden sparrow spiked bracelet giveaway!

Today I am so excited to announce a week-long giveaway contest from the awesome ladies at A Golden Sparrow! 

I had the opportunity to meet up with Amanda and Alexis recently and try out some of their awesome hand-made jewelry.

I was so enthralled by their ‘right-place-right-time’ beginnings, which centered around designing jewelry when the pieces they so highly coveted were just too absurdly priced for their liking.  Wearing their own line to work at a high-end clothing store prompted the attention of several connected shop patrons, and as one thing lead to another their eye-catching designs slowly began to trickle into stores.

It’s a great testament to the ‘take charge’ personality I aspire to grow within myself.  Spending just a few hours with these girls recharged and refreshed my outlook on personal and professional pursuits. There is nothing more motiviating than seeing the drive and resulting success of our peers.

And don’t count them out as citizens of the planet, have a look at their mission statement and note the staunch commitment to philanthropy: "It is our most sincere hope that our jewelry bring those that wear it (and even those that don't) a bright spot to their day and spread a little bit of happiness. With that said, collect as much as you want because with every purchase a portion of the profits will be donated to a charity of the sparrows' choosing. Check out our website to see what charity we are teaming up with this month. Wear them, love them, and be nice. And know that no one was exploited in the making of this jewelry-- other than Amanda and Alexis-- but we assure you we are fine with it."

  

Awesome collection girls!  I am so happy to spread the word about A Golden Sparrow and all of it's amazing offerings, so let's get to the giveaway!

Best of luck and have a happy weekend!
