The Friday Give-Away ~ Vintage Gardens

I am in love with Rebecca's jewelry designs. The perfect name for her shop too! Her designs are stylish and trendy with serious vintage flair to them! Here are some of my favorites:






1. Tell us a little about yourself.
I work full time as a sales assistant at a local TV station here in Jacksonville, FL. I also have another shop, The Artful Garden , that I maintian and create new pieces for. Other than that, I spend my time with my wonderful boyfriend, Gene, and our 2 puppies, Angus and Frodo.
2. What inspires you the most?
Antique stores, magazines, the internet, and sellers of Etsy.com are just a few of the places where I get my inspiration for creating a new piece. I search for a centerpiece that catches my eye and then create around it.
3. What is your most memorable creation, or one that you are most proud of?
I would have to say my art nouveau necklaces that show the works of Alphonse Mucha. The centerpiece is made of polymer clay showing some of Mucha's beautiful women in his art, and the necklace is created around it sticking with the vintage look and feel.
4. How did you find Etsy and what made you decide to sell on Etsy?
My cousin actually stumbled upon Etsy and told me about this awesome new site she had found. It took no time at all for me to start creating and listing jewelry. It was such a cool feeling getting to be crafty doing what I love and then share your art with others who sometimes even buy it! I was hooked.
5. How long have you been creating?
I've loved crafting and creating things all my life, but I've only been creating jewelry for a couple years now. Before that I was very passionate about photography, mosiacs, and I did a few paintings over the years too.
AND NOW THE GIVE-AWAY:
These adorable earrings! Love the green!

Just post a comment to win. Tell Rebecca what you love about her shop. Also, leave and email or a way I can reach you if you are the winner. Contest will close Thursday and noon mountain time. Winner will be announced that afternoon. If you would like to receive an email reminder once a month of the prizes to be given away, make mention and leave your email!
