September FPCS giveaway: Ugandan Beaded Necklace
Ok, it's been entirely too long since I have done a giveaway...sorry! So here goes.
I thought while I was in Africa I would bring back something to giveaway that would not only represent the culture that I visited, but also something that would also translate well (ie, be wearable!) in America. So when I saw all the beautiful handmade beaded necklaces — made from recycled paper! — I knew that would be my item and made sure to snatch one up on the streets in Jinja, Uganda. But what I didn't realize was that these same type of beads would be featured in the September issue of People StyleWatch via an organization called 31 Bits. Ah, I love validation! Thanks People magazine :)
So, to one lucky winner, you'll receive this gorgeous handmade, African necklace that will add color to any ensemble.
Entering is easy!
Simply leave a comment below about the necklace, along with your e-mail address.
If you want TWO ADDITIONAL entries you can:
1. Follow me on twitter and leave a separate comment to let me know
2. Follow me on either blogger or blog lovin and leave another comment to let me know
Contest is international and I'll pick a random winner in a couple of weeks. Good luck!
