I’m happy to announce a couple of things that are up for offer. I’m referring to these things, present and up-coming, as Sublimely Simple because… that’s what they are. Sometimes, you just want a small necklace in a plain metal without beads or flowers or (ugh!) studs crapped all over it.
This is number one: a small arrow necklace in bronze, copper plate, and an oxidized silverish- all on matching 16″ chains.
And, at $24, every bit as affordable as it is lovely.
Last year, I came into these four, little, teensy, tiny pen knives.
I had an idea as to what I was going to do with them, but I then scrapped it labeling it as “totally stupid”. Since then, I have been searching my brain for a way to make these little dudes into something viable, even though my instinct tells me to hold all neat-o things closely and hoard them until the flesh falls from my bones (an on going problem when it comes to apartment living, you can imagine.)
the problem with me, and it has been so for a long time, is that I really only like useful things. Beautiful things are nice but they leave me cold once their pretty novelty wears off. And that happens so quickly these days, doesn’t it? A penknife on a necklace is nice and a very delightful and unique statement yet, it’s hardly practical… unless you are very farsighted, I suppose. But when I found a lot of retractable lanyard actions, it became time to rethink the use of penknives as ornament.
And so, I present to you, dear reader, my small collection of Lovely Lavalier necklaces. Pretty to look at, light to wear, and useful to a fault thanks to a fully retractable lanyard that allows the knife to extend out 16 or so inches and still snap back perfectly- every time!
Each necklace is one of a kind so, if you see something, snatch it up! The green one is already on its way to Tampa!
Check it.
I’m hosting a Tumblr-based give away!
Up for grabs is a golden issue of my favorite necklace design. I’ve been offering it for over a year now and it is still the apple of my eye.
You can check out the contest here, but be warned, you need a Tumblr account to enter and once you’ve signed up, the site really has a way of drawing you in. If that sounds too hazardous, fear not. I’m planning on offering up some other promotional goodness in Facebook as well as blog-based formats.
