lizzy b's giveaway!

Love is in the air!
To celebrate Valentine's Day, Lizzy B having a special giveaway!


Her husband makes these hearts from vintage spoons! Each spoon is hand pounded, cut and then sanded into a beautiful unique heart! They are incredibly time consuming but so beautiful! Everyone is so surprised when they find out the heart was from a spoon! She put the smaller one on a short sterling chain and the other two on chunkier gun metal chains. One lucky person will win a vintage spoon heart necklace!

The drawing will be on Sunday, February 14.

good luck!
