Lisa Leonard Giveaway!

I have another wonderful giveaway for you this week.  Maybe you’ve heard of the very lovely and talented Lisa Leonard?  She made her mark as a jewelry designer…

… and has since expanded into home decor…

 

 

 

 

…and special touches for weddings or other events.

 

 

I just love all of her stuff.

Do you?  Would you like $75 to spend at Lisa’s online shop?  Lisa is graciously giving away TWO $50 credits to her online shop.

Here’s how to enter…

  • Simply leave a comment for one entry.  (Make sure you leave your e-mail address, so I can contact you if you win!)
  • For a second entry, visit Lisa’s online shop and browse around.  Come back to this post and leave a second comment letting me know what you would spend the $75 credit on if you win.
  • For a third entry, subscribe to Lisa’s newsletter and leave one last comment letting me know you have (or already do.)  The subscribe box is at the bottom right corner of Lisa’s home page.

The giveaway will run through Friday, March 30, 2012, at midnight EST.  It is only open to readers over the age of 18 and living in the lower 48 US states.  TWO winners will be randomly chosen and announced on Saturday, March 31.

If you’d like to get to know Lisa better, you can follow her on her blog.  I love seeing her with her family and I’m so inspired by her wardrobe.  I want her to come to my house and dress me.  Well, not dress me…just pick out my outfit.  Geeze, that came out wrong.  Anyway, visit her blog and you’ll understand!

Good luck, everyone!

The winner of the Sutton Place Designs Giveaway is…

Sharon aka “sewteacher.”  Congratulations!

  6. I'm with you, Miss Mustard Seed…that Double Heart Cuff is a jeans to dress kind of accessory (which happens to be my favorite kind of accessory)!

  14. Today I love the paper lantern necklace. Tomorrow will be a different one. I love all her designs and the poem type blog she writes about her life and kids.

  25. Hola,I love all your wonderful ideas. I have proudly added you to my blog as my favorite places. hope you don't mind?

    Stop and visit me sometime, hope to hear from you.

    Best,Laurie

  27. I LOVE the laundry line necklace… and with another one on the way I'm sure my laundry will again double in size. I am going to need some inspiration, this could be the perfect thing.

    hee hee.

  32. I'm also in love with the double heart cuff. I wear bracelets almost every day — so this would be perfect! I've also loved Lisa's designs for a long time — have a link to her on my blog!

  45. I would love the wish necklace with my girls names on them. I wished for them from the time I was a little girl and my wish came true! Two beautiful daughers. 🙂

  49. UGHHHHH!!!! Choosing one is almost impossible!! I GUESS if I have to, I'd probably put the $40 towards the Sweetheart Tree necklace! Or, the Hope is the Thing!

  78. Sound like a repeat of all the previous posters… so many way over the top cuteness… The corner heart one and initial ones…. or the sweet water pearl earrings… !? elsmanning7@gmail

  79. I would love to give the "Illuminate necklace" to my daughter for Christmas. So perfect.

  81. Yes I am a follower. I would just love to use that certificate to buy my 4 month old granbaby the First Baby's Spoon! How adorable! What a nice generous giveaway.

  89. I've always wanted the "Sparkle" necklace….it'd be perfect! Thank you for the chance! *Crosses fingers for the win*
    Hugs,
    ~Terrell @ Frou Frou Decor~

  114. This is so funny, I was just looking at her website today!! And then there was this giveaway in my email! (because I'm a follower of your blog!)
    I really like that cuff too!
    I also am admiring some necklaces, one of them being the illuminate necklace. 🙂

  116. I love the open circle bracelet. I have a question though…I plan on having more children – can I get their names added to the circle?

  120. I follow your blog everyday, you continue to inspire me…
    as for a lisa choice, that is hard, i love the rustic simplicity of all her pieces, specially her asymetrical ones, narrowed down I would choose the leaf decoration
    Brenda

  126. And of course I'm a follower if Miss Mustard Seed. I also paint a lot of signs and I'm daily inspired by your creations.

  127. My first comment disappeared! If I was lucky enough to win, I'd choose the large link charm bracelet–perfect for my two grands' initials and my heart. I LOVE her jewelry.

  134. I love the double heart cuff bracelet…I'm going to be a grandma for the first time and I would have my granddaughter's name put on it. (I realize I'd have to come up with the balance) 🙂

  162. I'd get a necklace for my girl who is going away to college next year. I think I'd get the wish necklace and have it stamped something like, "Know that we always love you".

  174. Lisa Leonard's designs are fabulous and so is your blog. I would so joyously spend my gift certificate on the pewter heart wall hanging and the leaf ornament. What great keepsake christmas ornaments these would make.

  178. I would put the $40 towards the Bottom of my Heart necklace or buy a sorority necklace for my daughter. All of her stuff is beautiful!

  185. I purchased Lisa's "itty bitty hearts" necklace when our baby girl was born last year. I absolutely love it. If I won, I would get the vintage frames necklace.

  187. Great giveaway! I'd love to win and pick up the tiny feet necklace for my friend who just had her baby girl yesterday!

    I'm a regular follower and a Miss Mustard Seed fan!

  193. I would spend the $40 on the "through my lens" necklace. I love photography and I just got my first DSLR camera that I am learning to use.

  197. I am a devoted fan of YOURS 🙂 I get a lot of DIY courage and inspiration from this blog, Miss Mustard. I also LOVE Lisa's work–I recently bough my mama the family tree necklace. She loves it, and wears it all the time.

  198. In February of this year, I lost my infant son Elijah to a gentic disorder and kidney failure. My cousin Leigh gave me a necklace Lisa made with Elijah's name in a heart and a tiny pearl. I would use the 40.00 to buy two more charms to add to the necklace with my two daughters names on them! Love the jewelry!!

  200. I am a very inspired follower of your blog! I love, love, love all of the inspiration you send us each day! I am in awe!
    Now for what I would buy from Lisa's site…that is easy although she has so many beautiful creations I would choose the large initial bracelet! Why you ask? Because I have 6 children and I would love some "me" things that no one else can claim! LOL! I also think it is so unique! Have a wonderful day! Michelle

  205. i would get the "little lady" necklace and give it to my sister for her 16th birthday coming up soon — ladybugs have always been her thing.

    and p.s. i've been a follower of the blog for a long time! =)

  206. I'm a follower. I so enjoy your blog. I really the petite family crest, and the bracelet that you like is pretty cute. I'd love it with the names of my two little boys! Thanks!

  210. I LOVE Lisa Leonard Jewelry!!…I would put the $40 towards the open circle personalized necklace…I am a follower of yours and will post on my blog too. Put me down for 3 chances. Thanks for the awesome chance!
    Patti

  213. I love, love, love Lisa Leonard's jewelry! She is amazing! I would love to have her tiny hearts necklace with my 3 children's name on it. By the way I love your blog you are such an inspiration to me.
    Thanks you.

  219. i love it all!! but I really love her necklaces. specifically "key to my heart" and the "whoo do you love" I would use the certificate towards one of them… AND she lives not too far south of me! shes SO FABULOUS!

  221. I would love the heart strings necklace! And I'm a follower of Miss Mustard Seed – although I'll admit that I'm purely an admirer. I've not tried any of these projects on my own 🙂

  222. I think I would get the teenie tiny initials necklace, but I also really love the itty bitty hearts one too. It would be such a tough decision!

  226. This is a great blog, I found you on Blog Frog which is a very cool site. I am a decorative artist (faux finishing)muralist/painter and love the creative side of the members of BF. I am also self taught on SEO (search engine optimization) studied it for last 3 years, and noticed you are doing well with a 3 page rank and are getting some good traffic because of Blog Frog. i ran an analysis like I have for other members and wanted to tell you that you would do much better if you would list your "keywords" and "meta description". People wont find you on Google if you have no keywords listed. Most of your traffic is coming from your back links imagine what it would be if people could find you through keyword search?

  228. Lisa makes such BEAUTIFUL jewelry. I had a hard time choosing what I would pick. I think I'd chose the mama necklace. I liked the numbered necklace also though. Nice pieces.

  229. You and Lisa make a great team – both of you have simple yet stunning designs…I really like the vintage frames necklace and the thin silver cuff…

  234. The "Feels Like Fall " necklace would be a special reminder of my favorite season. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway. I love your blog.

  239. Thanks for introducing me to Lisa Leonard – amazing!! Being the coffee addict I am, i would most certainly use $40 toward the "you're the cream in my coffee" necklace…LOVE it!

  241. If I won this give away, I would start a collection of Lisa's work…I love it all and would probably start with the double heart bracelet..Wishing she would take on another wholesale customer..this jewelry would be perfect for our store…

  248. Love the jewlery!
    I would use the gift certificate towards a purchase of the Oval Monogram Necklace.
    I don't have children yet, but I think I'll be giving some items off this site to some of my best friends we are starting families. Love everything!
    Also, I'm a daily follower of MSC!
    Thanks.

  253. it's hard to choose a favorite when all of Lisa's designs are fabulous. I really like the dewdrop necklace for me or the double leather cuff for my hubby.
    thanks for the giveaway!

  254. Theres so much on my LL wishlist that its hard to narrow it down to just one. But….I would choose the sweetheart tree necklace since thats been my #1 choice for awhile now:)

  256. I am needing to start thinking about Christmas already so I would have to buy the paper lantern necklace- my mom would love it! I don't have a blog yet but I'm working on it 😉

  277. I would give the GC to my SIL so that she could get a tiny initial necklace like mine!

    They've just completed their family with a baby boy from Zambia!

    Blessings, Jennifer

  295. This is my first visit to your blog, and its just lovely! High five! In any case, with $40 I would purchase the Be Still necklace. Or really, anything with birds on it. So cute!

  302. Oooo! The captured heart has been on my wishlist for a long time! And with over 300 comments, it doesn't look like my chances are too good but – you can't win if you don't play. Right?

  318. um… seriously I am in love with every single necklace. If I had to narrow it down it would probably have to be a birdie necklace or the one with the camera on it 🙂 too cute!

  326. I LOVE the following necklaces (and would have a hard time choosing between them): From up here, every corner of my heart, lots of love, and lovebird.

  329. I love your site so much! I found it through Centsational Girl and have been hooked ever since. I look to following your blog each day!!

  330. I would so like the banner necklace with my name on it…Charlotte is still a rare name…reminds me of a necklace i had as a teenager from Germany. I also love the "Create A Handmade Life" for my little business, Charlotte's Delightful Finds. Thank you for introducing me to Lisa's beautiful creations.

  333. Lisa has some fabulous pieces. If I had the $40, I would get the "Who do you love" necklace. A littler quirky, but sooooo cute.

  334. I am a new follower to your blog. Been lurking here for months and finally decided to make it official. LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!!!!

  341. I love her new charm bracelet! And, I'm dying to get to your new store. I'm in Maryland (on the Eastern Shore) and am trying to find a weekend to come up there!

  342. I would get the thin sterling cuff with my husband's and all four of my kids' names on it.

  353. Oh, Miss Mustard Seed! I would so very much be THRILLED to win, & I have the perfect idea for what I'd use the gift certificate for: I am a yoga teacher (which has completely turned my life around, as a way to recover from an unexpected loss and, eventually, come to a happy but different place) and am about to complete my 200 hour national certification.

    Thus, in celebration of this, and of the balance I'm cultivating in my life, I would get the banner necklace with the word "Namaste" on it.
    http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/banner-necklace.html
    "Namaste" translates as "the light in me bows to the light in you", or essentially, that the humanity in me recognizes and respects the humanity in you – and in every one, every living thing that I would come across while wearing it happily 🙂

    Also, I just subscribed to your blog via email, and have posted about this giveaway on my facebook – so having those 2 extra entries would be appreciated! Thank you so much!

  354. I would definitely get the "feathers" quote necklace for my wife's birthday, which is coming up soonish. She LOVES feathers and I know it would be perfect!

    Also, I am a regular visitor to your blog (love the sheet music bureau) and retweeted this.

  355. I'd have a hard time choosing but I love the the open circle bracelet. One thing I really like about her shop is that she has photos of her jewelry on real people, it helps one get a sense of scale and what they look like on.

  357. oooohhh my gosh how exciting…. how do i narrow it down to one?? prob the connect and create charm bracelet.
    thank you so much for the opportunity and for sharing your amazing blog with us.
