Custom Map Necklace Giveaway!

Seriously, what’s better than customized jewelry?!?For my first blog giveaway, I will create a one-of-a-kind necklace showcasing your favorite place. Do you long to visit Paris? Did you grow up in Santa Fe? What about that vacation to Fiji?

I have lots of vintage maps, and can make a necklace of just about any location your heart desires. They also make very meaningful gifts.
These necklaces are one of the best-selling items in my Etsy shop. They retail for $18.
Want to get one for FREE?
Here’s how:

How to enter:
For each action below, you will receive one entry. Please leave a separate comment for each one.
  • Leave a comment telling me which location you would choose to be on the necklace and why (you can change this if you are the winner).
  • Follow my blog, or tell me if you are already following.
  • Follow me on Twitter (use the box at right).
  • Tweet about this giveaway. Comment with a link to your twitter profile.
  • Blog about this giveaway. Leave a link to the post in a comment.
This contest is open to everyone, U.S. and abroad! The giveaway starts now and will end at midnight (U.S. central time) on Sunday, June 28th. I will draw a winner using a random number generator and post the winner on the 29th.

Necklace comes on a 24” ball chain, which can be shortened to any length using scissors.

Good luck!

  11. I'd like to win this for my daughter. Her daddy, an active duty ARMY commander will be deploying next year and she could wear his deployment assignment on her charm. She's very much a daddy's girl and his absence will leave a hole. So she won, I'd pick Afghanistan or Iraq. I know it's not local, but it's what we'd pick....

  12. What a neat and clever idea! Love it. I would choose my birthplace of Jenkins, Kentucky. Not too many people have heard of it much less know where it is! This way I could show them. That would be fantastic!

  13. This is so original - I would really have to think about what I would want on my necklace.....love it.

    First thought would be Segovia, Spain, it was a place I visited once that made me very happy. Or maybe Yosemite, CA.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

  14. I just got so excited about these necklaces that I clapped like a little kid. I LOVE them! I am totally favoriting your etsy shop so that when I get a little extra spending money, i can treat myself. (I want some of your hair pins so badly as well. The white vintage rose one! omg.) I don't know which city I would choose. Part of me is leaning towards Austin because it's where my husband went to school (go Univ. of TX) and we both love that city soooo much. Another option is New Orleans. It's where I was born and it's such a rich, dark, beautiful city. Of course, I could always do the Canary Islands. It's where my grandparents are from, and I'm proud of my Isleno heritage!

I have been studying abroad here for the past six months, and it literally has changed my life. I love it here and its going to be so hard to move back to the States when the semester is over! Thanks for your blog, even if I don't win the free necklace, I love all of your ideas & creations! Keep it up! :)
