Object and Totem Giveaway! CLOSED

ht_necklace_1.1

The first giveaway of 2012 is one that I'm particularly excited about. I first read about the Philadelphia-based ceramics and jewelry studio Object and Totem on Joanna Williams' blog, Keep Feeling Fascination and fell hard for the earthy necklaces and cool ceramics. Next thing you know, email intros are happening, plans are being hatched and there's an LA in Bloom-themed necklace in the works. According to designer Julianne Ahn, the necklace is inspired by my Mexico posts and my sparkly nail polish. Here is your chance to win a truly original statement piece, made with hand dyed cotton twine and assembled with wheel thrown beads that have been glazed and high fired. I'm in love.

For a chance to win: check out the Object and Totem website and leave a comment here letting us know what you think. You can also increase your odds of winning and gain extra entries if you a) follow @heatherbethtay on Twitter and b) spread the word by tweeting about this giveaway (please tag your tweet with @heatherbethtay).   


This giveaway is open to U.S. Residents Only and will close on Monday January 16th. I will draw a winner and announce it here on Tuesday January 17th.
