Holiday Gift Guide - Two Blue Stripes Review & Giveaway
There are a lot of jewelry shops out there. With so many choices, it might be hard to decide where to shop this holiday season. I always prefer to shop with small companies, like the little shops on Etsy. The prices are better, the quality is undeniable, and the pieces are unique. One quaint little shop that I have come across in my travels is the Two Blue Stripes. If you are looking for jewelry that is truly a one of a kind work of art, than this is the shop for you.
For my review, I received a pair of beautiful leaf earrings. They are perfect for the fall, and a great touch for Thanksgiving. To me, these earrings are not just a beautiful work of art, but a reminder of this very special day with family. The gold tone earrings are very sturdy and well made. They are versatile, so they perfect for both a casual outing or a night out of the town.
This is only one example of dozens of lovely pieces you can find at the Two Blue Stripes. Many of her pieces are made with lovely natural stones or faux pearls. She also has some adorable fish and owl pieces that would be great for younger girls as well as adults. All of them are handcrafted with delicate precision. With the holidays coming up, unique handmade jewelry is always a great gift idea.
And now for the giveaway. One lucky winner will be able to choose one piece of jewelry with a value of $30 or less. To enter, please visit Two Blue Stripes and let me know which piece you would pick if you were the lucky winner.

I really love all the FISH Earrings - but I think my top two favorites are the "Travel From Here To There Bangle" and the "Gold Lilac & Teal Ring" (but I canh't stop thinking about the lovely "Kiss The Morning Dew"...
