Tip Toe Thirty GIVEAWAY!

A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting behind a hippie-ish chick at church and noticed that she was wearing the coolest earrings. They almost looked like a bunch of grapes, but of course they were in earth tones. My mom makes jewelry, so I asked her to reproduce them, but hers didn't quite turn out right.

So I did what any girl would do...I began to scour etsy for something similar.

And I stumbled upon a shop that made my heart flutter. You see, I love earth tones. I love small jewelry. And I love good deals.

Tip Toe Thirty had all three of those. So I started chatted with Melanie, the mastermind behind the shop, and she agreed to let me check out her jewelry and...(this is where YOU come in)...host a giveaway! She's very generously giving away $15 credit to her shop, which will take you far with her prices. Holla!

She sent me earrings very similar to these, which were exactly what I was looking for....





...and this necklace, which thrilled both me and L. ("It's Hedwig!! Put it on RIGHT NOW!" he cried, upon spying it.)


The items I received were fabulous. They were adorable and well-made, and Melanie was super friendly and wonderful to work with. She instantly became a new favorite Etsy shop.

My birthday is coming up in about a month. (December 22 if you are taking notes. I kid.) I might have to buy myself a couple of gifts from her shop. Because I'm also in love with these earrings....



...and I'm dying over this tree necklace, of course. I think it's a given that this one has moved from the "want" column to the "need" column.


I know. I know. You want to enter. I don't blame you. If I could enter my own giveaway, I'd be all over it.

The Rules:
1. You gotta be a follower of mine. Mama's gotta track you down! Leave me a comment telling me that you are a follower, and if you won, what you'd get from Tip Toe Thirty.

2. You can earn an extra entry for buying anything from her shop and leaving me a comment telling me so. Christmas is just a few weeks away...take advantage!

Lucky for you, Melanie is super cool (and not just because she uses biodegradable packing peanuts, although that DID make me love her shop a little more). She suggested giving a discount code on top of the giveaway, which will come in handy for that extra entry. So use namaste to get yourself an extra 15% off of that tree necklace you buy me for my birthday. Er, I mean, for your own little splurge.

I'll choose the winner via a random number generator a week from today!



What are you waiting for?? GO! And namaste.
