Patriotic Necklace Giveaway!

Today’s giveaway is from Penelope of il gatto selvatico, a great etsy shop filled with world (literally!) handmade and embroidered necklaces, earring and pins. She’s offering this USA Map Necklace (Size: approximately 3.5″ wide and 2.5″ long. Ribbon is 14.5″ long, each piece) to one lucky reader. How perfect would it be for a Fourth of July party? And I love her philosophy the necklace:

This hand-stitched map necklace is a little piece of wearable art. The concept of this piece is to show the absurdity of the need to create borders and barriers for ourselves. Collectively we have divided the space around us, infinitely. Inside every continent are countries and in those are regions and states and provinces and towns and cities, etc. We have been doing this for centuries, but these borders always change.

For your chance to win, simply visit il gatto selvatico, and comment below with your favorite item from the shop, as well as your email address. A winner will be chosen at random on Tuesday afternoon. Happy shopping! xoxo

Update: Congrats to winner Naomi! Thanks for entering! xoxo

    I really love the leather peacock feathers. I've been really drawn to that deep bluish/greenish color lately.

    I love the US necklace and all the other map necklaces, what a great idea!
