Introducing Handmade Jewelry Designs by ShimmerMeBlue

I am a big fan and believer in handmade items, I think there are wonderful finds to be had and they make for such fantastic and personable gifts.
I would like to introduce you to ShimmerMeBlue etsy jewelry shop. Talk about love at first sight! Creative, whimsical, fun, captivating, stunning, adorable, simple, lovely pieces she makes, from earrings, to bracelets, to watches  and bookmarks.  Looking for a little something to make yourself smile? Maybe a gift for a friend?

I've made a couple of purchases from ShimmerMeBlue's jewelry line and these pieces are MINE! MINE I tell ya! All MINE! I have 3 daughters and well let's just say I might own some jewelry but none of it is in my possession as one of them generally has gotten their hands on it. So these pieces I have to hide if I hope to ever see them again (laughing) so I am a bit "MINE" over these items. I adore everything about her creative jewelry making skills.  You can bet before the year is out I will be making several other purchases!  Plus, she is so fantastic to work with - need something?  Have something in mind?  She's all there for you. She is personable and wonderful to work with.

Take a look at this beautiful pair of earrings I received for this review. Stunning! I adore these! I've gotten so many compliments on them it isn't even funny - and that just doesn't happen to me, ShimmerMeBlue's jewelry stands out and catches the eye.


You may have seen me show these off during my Monday Mingle (here) if not, you can see for yourself how fantastic they are. I see these making several appearances over the holidays, for various fancy and casual gatherings. They go with just about anything!

Well, just in time for the holidays, ShimmerMeBlue is going to give one of my readers a pair of earrings of their choice from her etsy shop! HOW FANTASTIC IS THAT!?! WOOT! WOOT! I am excited to be holding this giveaway, I just know you are going to come to adore her line of jewelry as much as I do!!

I love the Fun and Flirty Spring colors wraparound bracelet. If I win, it will match the earrings that I will pick, and I'll definitely come back and purchase it. They'll make such a nice set. I might even have to have a matching necklace or choker custom made with the same color scheme. Now that's what I call a "well put together" look! Hope to hear from you soon. <3
