I love giveaways, don't you? Don't get me wrong, I love getting stuff, too - a lot. But giving things away - meaningful things especially - is so much fun!
This month's giveaway is from the oh-so-creative and inspiring Tina Steinberg and her line of personalized jewelry. I was so excited when I saw her work and just thrilled when she offered her 'Truly Bracelet' for a giveaway. It's a sterling silver bracelet with a single fingerprint charm, customized with a loved one's fingerprint and a short inscription on the back of the charm.
The winner will receive this one-of-a-kind, customized bracelet (worth $180 ). A kit will be sent to you to make your fingerprint. Adult sizes may be on larger charms or reduced so that, if you don't have any little ones, you can get your older kids fingerprinted or even your brand new hubby!
The giveaway will run until Sunday, Sept 12th at midnight (PST) and a winner will be randomly picked the following day. In order to enter, please visit Tina's site and come back to leave a comment about your favorite piece. But wait, there's more! You can get additional, multiple entries by doing one or more of the following (you will need a separate comment for each entry, please):

(09.03.10 - 02:57 PM)well, I checked out the web site and OMG Tina Steinberg is amazing!!! I saw she is even "connected" with some up and comers in hollywood. That should get the word out pretty fast! In the mean time, Her love touch fingerprint collection is unique and precious while the spirit collection is inspiring and whimsical, but my absolute favorite is the luscious locket collection and in particular the circle of love. It has just the right touch of elegance and tenderness. The lovers names look as if they are effortlessly floating in eternal etherialness (is that a word?) anyway, it brings a touching tear to my eye. just stunning. I think it would be particularly beautiful with the lite box link chain to give it that little vintage look. Good work. I want one!
(09.03.10 - 04:57 PM)BTW, I completed entries 1-4 so I am crossing my fingers for a win!!!

(09.03.10 - 05:50 PM)I love the idea of having a unique (one-of-a-kind) part of your loved one with you, their fingerprint on a beautiful piece of jewelry! My favorite pieces are from the Love Touch collection. I am always amazing at how many clever artisans are out there in the world. :-)

(09.10.10 - 11:01 AM)Much too difficult to pick only one piece as a favorite, but if I have to than it is the "Sol Lariat". But all the Love Touch Collection is amazing, with special note to the 2 Tier Love Charmer both leather and chain.
