Thankfully, ShihoYamashita, an Etsy shop positively dripping with natural shapes, metallics and romantic pops of color caught my eye right away. Shiho lovingly creates all her jewelry by hand, and is so sweetly donating 30% of her sales to Japan relief efforts. Isn't that fantastic? If we needed a good reason to buy breathtakingly-chic jewelry...now we have one. Hooray!
So, ladies...I give you Giveaway Number 1, something that's one part sweet + one part flirty: The Lotus Bloom Earrings.
Aren't they flawless? All the beauty of spring...wrapped up in one flirtastic pair of earrings. I would wear these to the movies...to class...to the grocery store. On a date, whenever that happens again. In a box, with a fox and while darning socks. I would wear them here and there...I would wear them everywhere.
That being said...I might have to buy my own when this is all said and done. :)
How to win:
Simply leave a comment on this post letting me know where you'd wear these beauties!
And for an extra entry, share this giveaway via your blog, Facebook or however you like to squawk about cute stuff, then double back to let me know you've shared the news.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE these earrings! I've been looking for something to go with a soft, tan dress and they would be perfect! Bethany, your heart is so big - I love that you're doing giveaways to help the people of Japan. I could take notes from you. I would wear them out around town or, more likely, to class and farm markets. :)
ReplyDeleteBlogged about the giveaway here.
ReplyDeleteSorry about deleting that one comment - I left it under the wrong profile. I'd love to leave more comments to help aid in the relief effort, but I don't want it to seem like more entries.... Not sure what to do about it.
Thanks again beautiful!
I would wear these to a spring picnic in the park! These are beautiful and I'm so happy to leave a comment to help with your donation to disaster relief in Japan.
ReplyDeleteThese are perfect! My little niece would call them beautiful, so I'd wear them to take her to the tulip festival at the gardens near our house.
ReplyDeleteI'd wear them to work - my darling 6 month old is obsessed with all pretty jewels (she takes after her mom) so I can only wear dangling things when I'm not with her...
ReplyDeleteI would wear them to work. They are so perfect for spring!
ReplyDeleteHey Bethany, these are beautiful earrings that I would feel lucky to wear anywhere and everywhere. The thought behind them is even more beautiful. I'm going now to add this give away to my blog.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Susan
Lovely earrings.
ReplyDeleteLovely intentions.
Count me in! And thanks.
I've added a link to your generous offer. Take a look:http://downthegardenpath-downthegardenpath.blogspot.com/2011/03/giveaways-abound.html
ReplyDeleteI forgot to follow the rules...
ReplyDeleteI would wear these earrings to an Easter Cantata. Or brunch.
These earrings are beautiful, Bethany! I don't normally enter these things, but what with the profits and such going to such a good cause, and how amazing these earrings are, I couldn't help but to enter myself and let everyone I know about it (kierstenevan.blogspot.com/)!!
ReplyDeleteWhere couldn't they be worn? Knowing me, I'd wear them just about everywhere, but more specifically out with friends - dinner, movies, etc., on a date, or to a play (my mom and I go to those pretty often).
I think I mentioned this in a post earlier today, but I think you're a wonderful person, Bethany! Thank you and Gabriel so much for doing this.
<3 Kiersten
How pretty! I would wear these earrings to work, around town and even around the house. I know my 14 month old would love to get her hands on them!

ReplyDeletethese earrings are divine. i'd wear them EVERYWHERE. for sure.

ReplyDeleteThanks for doing such a wonderful thing!
These are such beautiful earrings!! I haven't been out on a date with my husband since my son was born 8 months ago!! So I'd for sure wear them on my 1st date out! I'd also probably plan my outfits around these beauties just so I could wear them everyday!
ReplyDeleteI find it so inspiring that you're doing this for Japan! Keep up the good work! The world needs more wonderful people like you!!!!!
Since I am one of those mamas who are home so often, I'd wear them anytime I left the house.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'd steal away for date with the husband, how perfect.
These are simply gorgeous! I would love to wear them to work and make everyone think of spring!
ReplyDeleteKristin
Those earrings are divine! I have a wedding coming up, and they would look so cute with the dress I plan on wearing ;)
ReplyDeleteLB
Those are lovely, but don't enter me, because I don't have pierced ears! I'm totally commenting though. I want the relief effort to get another 50 cents!
ReplyDeleteI discovered at Starbucks today that you can donate to the Red Cross relief in Japan, right there at the till. I had a green tea lemonade ,and did some good in the world. Made me happy.
i would wear them everywhere!
ReplyDeletei love what you're doing to help support japan.
What a wonderful way to help Japan! You are lovely and so are these earrings! I'd love to wear them on a warm spring day while driving in a convertible... a girl can dream, right? =)
ReplyDeleteI don't think you ever stop thinking about others, do you? You're just a great person, end of story.
ReplyDeleteOh and I'd wear these...ummm, anytime I left my house!

I would wear them when my boyfriend and I break up so I would look amazing and he would regret never telling me how beautiful I am.
ReplyDeleteLove! I'd wear them when my husband takes me out for dinner next month to celebrate my birthday. We haven't been out together since our daughter was born at the end of December and I haven't frocked up or worn makeup in that long, so the earrings would be the icing on my birthday cake!
ReplyDeleteLove these! I would wear them on a date with my husband!
ReplyDeletelaura.toomey@gmail.com
These are beyond adorable! I would wear them to work and love it!
ReplyDeleteThose earrings are beautiful! They'd look good on my vacation with me ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't get dressed up too much anymore these days, but I always try on Sundays so I'd wear them to church and then all day at home while I do my normal Sunday stuff to feel extra special.
ReplyDeleteI don't really wear dangling earrings, but I would make an exception for these :) Cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! i need to check out her site.....i would wear these everywhere!

ReplyDeletep.s. I blogged about the giveaway!
ReplyDeletehttp://everythingtrendy.blogspot.com/2011/03/not-one-not-two-but-three.html
I would wear them to school and to the Farmer's Market.
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE these! I would wear them to school to add sparkle and fun to my outfit (I'm a teacher). It's the little things like that that make my day a bit better.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm tweeting about your giveaway!
I live in Chiba, Japan and I came back to the US to speak and fundraise while my Japanese husband is deployed in Fukushima. I would wear them every day while I'm here, to help me feel closer to my husband and my home, and to help engage people in conversation about what is happening in Japan and how they can help.
ReplyDeleteOnce back home, I would wear them to hanami (cherry-blossom viewing parties/picnics) with students and with friends, as evidence of all the love and support being sent their way.
Full disclosure, though. If I came across someone in Japan who would benefit more from these than me, I wouldn't keep them. Perhaps grounds for disqualification?
ReplyDeleteEither way, whoever ends up with these, please please post a photo of yourself wearing them so I can show people at home more of the simple and sincere ways that people around the world are helping.
Aaaaand....sent the word out about the shop and the giveaway on facebook.
ReplyDeleteI just told my Facebook friends how super stylish you are.
ReplyDeletelove the earrings! I would definitely wear them to the first brunch of the season warm enough to eat outside. For me that's when spring has arrived!

ReplyDeleteAww...I love these. They would be perfect for a long morning walk on the beach(On horseback of course). I can see it now, the sunrise, the waves calmly coming and going, the birds, a slight breeze.

ReplyDeleteI just bought the most stunning summer dress and was so excited for the chance at more comments because these earrings would pair wonderfully with the new dress :)
ReplyDeleteI just can't get over these earrings. The soft pink with gold is astounding and they look exotic. I think "India" when I see them. Yes, I'm strange. They just might be what is needed to bring spring back to my area. Maybe the flowers would get jealous of their pretty color and decide to bloom.
ReplyDeleteI love Erin's rule...and these earrings! :)
