I don’t know if you know this or not… but, The Fashionable Housewife loved Handmade. I know that a few of our contributors dabble in crafting and even jewelry making so we thought we would give the opportunity for you ladies to win something from an artisan that is handmade with love and of course, also very fashionable!
We discovered House of Avandan, an etsy shop by Miss Vanita Sloan. This lovely steampunk inspired necklace is now a part of my jewelry wardrobe and I think it’s pretty darn lovely. Feminine with an edge, this necklace hangs just right and adds some sass to many of my work blouses.
“My jewelry is edgy meets pretty. I am inspired by steam punk, nature, metals, gems, textures, and the glamorous life. I sit down with an idea in my head and let my materials tell me what to create. My items include handcrafted necklaces, bracelets and earrings. I use a variety of materials from chains, gemstones, beads, and metal. I donโt like to duplicate my jewelry (on rare occasions I might), so in a way, my items are one-of-a-kind. I put a lot of effort in making a quality piece of jewelry. I enjoy etsy, but what sets me apart from others is my willingness to share a piece of my life with my buyers. I treat a customer like a friend, hoping to build a long lasting relationship. For me, handcrafting is a rewarding experience. I make special items that cannot be bought at mass market chain stores.”
So we are giving you ladies the opportunity to win your choice of the following three necklaces from House of Avandan:
Bead Necklace Long Layered Round Amethyst and Glass Teardrop,ย
Crystal Bead Necklace Layered White,
or theย Chain Necklace Bead Long Layered Purple Gunmetal
or theย So do you want to win?
