There’s a lovely giveaway going on at Grandmother's Pearls. Elsa is hosting the competition ~ she has a darling vintage blog is a great source of inspiration and pretty vintage modelling/pin-up pictures. She’s teamed up with Sarah of Snövits äpple {which the ever~handy Goggle is telling me means “Snow White’s Apple”}.
Sarah makes stunning jewellery pieces that are very vintage inspired, and are simply beautiful for adding that special touch to any outfit of choice. I adore her photograph broaches ~ they remind me very much of an antique glass locket, or an Edwardian keepsake. Thankfully, everyone who enters the giveaway has the chance to win a custom broach for themselves!
This is the picture of Joey and myself that I would love to have in my broach if I won:
That or this one:
~ * Actually, I think this second one is my favourite! * ~
Now most of you may not really know this, but horses are such a big part of my life and I wouldn’t part with my boys for anything! Joey and Copper play a big role in teaching me about myself ~ my mental attitudes, my physical talents and limitations, and the strength of my character.
Honestly, I can’t really describe the kind of bond that is formed between a horse and his rider ~ it’s not like a human friendship, but something else; a mental connection… Sharing that with my boy Joey is a very important part of who I am.
My vintage world and my horse world don’t often mix, but with a customized piece of jewellery, I would have a small memento of how much the horses in my life mean to me, and I would love to be able to wear that wherever I go! So here’s me hoping, and if you want the chance to have your own customized jewellery piece, you can meander over to the giveaway post here:
