it’s my birthday! . and $45 friedasophie giveaway

March 27, 2012 separator Fashion

Guess what, you guys?! It’s been three years since I started writing this mess! That’s right – three years of Shrimp Salad Goodness Circus!!! 

I think that being three means that the blog is officially in its cute but taxing and horrible rebellious phase. What do you think? I can’t believe it’s been so long, but you know time flies!

But I digress… I have some loooovely ladies onboard to help me celebrate this momentous occasion by giving you free things. 


First up in the lineup is Friedasophie Jewelry. Have you ever noticed my itsy-bitsy, skinny little ring that I wear in a really awkward place on top of my left ring finger? If not, here it is. Point being, I love super thin rings, and I love rings worn in unexpected ways that don’t involve places where the sun don’t shine. Friedasophie definitely delivers on that aspect. 


I’ve loved everything in this shop for just about as long as I’ve been on Etsy. Forget about anything else in the shop – can we please talk about these earrings for a moment?! They’re herkimer diamond and gold hoops, and I’m pretty sure I would never be able to take them off if they were mine… 

If you happen to be a color junkie like me, then this shop has your back – tons of deep, vibrant jewel tones!!! There are just tons of pieces, from rough druzies, like the amethyst on the right, to polished beaded items, like the earrings on the left. 


One of you will get to choose either the Silver Double Chain Ring or the Gold Silver Band Rings. I’m personally quite partial to the chained set, as I think it’s a beautifully unique way to wear something otherwise understated. This is a $45 value, chickadees

To enter, visit Friedsophie Jewelry, and leave a comment telling me what your favorite piece is, and why. Be sure to leave a comment here with entry and your email address.

For two additional entries, you can leave a comment telling me you follow the blog (via RSS feed, email, Google Friend Connect, or Blog Lovin’), and you can share the giveaway on Facebook, Twitter, or your own blog. Be sure to tag Shrimp Salad Circus in Facebook posts or @ShrimpSalad in tweets so that I can see them! Please leave a separate comment for each entry, up to a total of three entries/comments. 

This giveaway is open to everyone worldwide and will end on Wednesday, April 11, and I’ll announce whenever I find a spare minute after that. Good luck, mockingjays!

P.S. How cheesy was the mockingjays comment? I haven’t even gotten to see the movie yet!!!
