I have lots of cool stuff to tell you about, so here we go ...
(UPDATE: The second winner has been confirmed) The two winners of last month's giveaway have been chosen:
Erica Greca, of Deltona, Florida
Millie John, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Congratulations, Millie and Erica!
The next giveaway is all set to go! I have decided to make one small change, however. I'll be choosing the winner on the first day of the month instead of the last day, so the next winner will be chosen Sept. 1 for the September Giveaway. This way the timing and prize are more in synch. Don't know why I didn't think of this before.
Anyway, the new prize will be these 'Brown Sugar' earrings in beautiful tones of brown, just in time to welcome fall. They're made with Swarovski crystal, Czech glass, and freshwater pearls.
Everyone who's on my mailing list as of 5 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time on Monday, Sept. 1 (yup, that's Labor Day here in the U.S.!), will be eligible to win. If you're not already on my mailing list, simply go here to join, and invite your friends to join too.
If you win, you'll have one week to claim your prize and confirm your address. Just be sure to add maria at believestreet dot com to your list of approved senders so my email can get through. The last and best bit of news I have is that I'm offering FREE FIRST-CLASS SHIPPING during the entire month of August. Just enter coupon code SHIPFREE at checkout and you'll pay $0.00 for delivery. Woohoo!!! That's more money for gas ... or for one of those new Starbucks Vivanno drinks (try the chocolate banana ... it's deeee-lish). So head on over to the shop to check out all the new bling, and take advantage of the free shipping this month to get a jump on your holiday shopping. Go on! Go! The third bit of good news I have is that I just updated the main sections of the shop -- silver necklaces, bracelets, and earrings -- so there are lots of pretty new things to see and purchase, including these fun 'By the Sea' earrings, and the very popular 'Inspiration' bracelets that were featured in the April giveaway.
I finally added them to the shop so they can be purchased online now. They make the perfect little gift, so they've been selling like hotcakes at my craft shows and corporate trunk shows. Plus, they're a great deal: 1 for only $7, 3 for $19, or 5 for $29 ... so pick some up now for the special people on your holiday list -- including friends, co-workers, babysitters, and beauticians -- before the price goes up in September!

Hi Maria,
Although we e-mail regularly, I have yet to post a comment on your blog! As you know, I am a HUGE fan of BelieveStreet jewelry and my family, friends and co-workers are too! Thank you SO MUCH for supporting the Lupus Walk last month. You are a wonderful friend and true inspiration.
PS - I just sent another inspiration bracelet to my niece for her birthday!
