Eek, where did September go?! I'm not ready for it to be over soon. The weather's been just glorious here, and I want it to go on forever (sigh).
I have a winner to announce and a new giveaway. The winner of the September giveaway -- a pair of 'Brown Sugar' earrings -- was:
Phyllis Simpson, of Oakland, California
Phyllis was thrilled to hear she had won, received her earrings a couple of weeks ago (I did at least send them out right away!), and hopefully has already had a chance to wear them.
So, the October giveaway is only nine days away now, on October 1! And, I've decided that for this giveaway, the winner will get to choose any item in the shop worth up to $25. That includes most of the earrings (such as the 'African Violet' pair here), as well as soul charms, inspiration bracelets, bookmarks, and cellphone charms. Or, they can apply $25 toward the purchase of a higher-priced item.
Oooh, I can't wait to see who the winner is and what they pick.
Everyone who's on my mailing list as of 5 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time on Wed, Oct. 1, 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. Finally, if you're in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, come see me this Saturday (Sept. 27) at the Harvest Day Festival in Yardley, PA, or next weekend (Oct. 4 & 5) at the Colts Neck Art & Craft Festival in Colts Neck, NJ. For more details on these events and the rest of my schedule, go here. Happy Fall!
