Studio Update and a GIVEAWAY!


We are taking a break to escape the hot and humid flatlands of Florida to find cool, fresh mountain air. While we are away, I thought it would be fun to offer a giveaway for a $50 gift certificate good for anything in my shop!!!

Here is a photo of where we are headed…






While on our trip, I’ll have the opportunity to visit an Outdoor Flea Market that was recently included on the Top 50 Flea Markets in the U.S. by Romantic Homes Magazine and I’ve scheduled visits to numerous antique malls and shops through-out this beautiful state. I hope to return with a suitcase full of jewelry treasures to use for upcoming designs.






To be entered for the $50 gift certificate, just leave a comment below with a guess of where you think I might be. You don’t need to have a correct guess to win, but you do need to leave a comment. And if someone happens to guess the specific location from the photos, I’ll give that person a $50 Gift Certificate too! Bonus!!

As a side note – My shop will still be open to place orders, but orders will not ship until after our return on Monday, August 29th. The Gift Certificate winner will be selected on that date too. Good Luck Mon Amies and have fun! ~ xoxo ~ Joy

jdonliturgy said...

I'd say Washington - if I had to guess... maybe the Two Sisters in Issaquah, Washington.

Dorothy Freeman said...

My first thought was NH where I live but upon studying the photos it looks more like Colorado where my son lives.Tough one!
I'm in FL quite a bit as my daughter lives there and it must be hard to leave your cool, quiet, breath taking retreat up in the mountains to return to all that heat and humidity!
I'm glad you got a break..hope your feeling refreshed!

Lilyweeds at Augusta Kent Studio said...

I was thinking Colorado... but wherever it is, it's amazingly beautiful!

WAM Family said...

It does look like Colorado, Washington, Utah (in certain areas), but it also looks like Wyoming and Oregon as well. My hubby says the Blue Ridge Mountains. LOL If he is right I will feel really stupid since I was raise over there.

Thank you for the chance to win.

Janet Bernasconi said...

Hi Joy!!

How are you? I was so happy to get your message about your blog giveaway. What a gorgeous blog you have! I was drooling at the jewelry too..lol. So glad you are keeping it for yourself. I do the same thing. I often create things that I want to keep and hate selling it..lol You are soooo lucky to be on vacation. I also live in Florida so I understand wanting to get away from hot weather. I am bad at guessing,but if I had to guess the first state that I thought of is Idaho,Montana or Wyoming? I was also thinking maybe New Mexico. And possible Arizona..lol Okay that's my guess. Oh man do I ever want to win!:-O
;-) Have a fantastic time! Good luck to all.
xoxo

Hi Joy--this is a fun guessing game! I'm going to go with somewhere close to Durango, Colorado....though it also could be closer to me here in Oregon, but I don't know of any big flea markets happening(tho' maybe Barn House in Battleground, WA?) I'd LOVE to win your giveaway. Love your stuff!
