it’s that time again….
are you ready for this week’s giveaway?
inspired by my lifelong love of all things clouds – cumulus, stratus, cirrus and {the most fun!} cumulonimbus – i’m always gravitating to items with these delightful puffy things. from prints to pajamas, i must have at least a dozen cloud treasures in my little home. 🙂 i’m guessing it’s because i’m an air sign…and a truly magnificent dreamer….
so during one of my weekly online shopping escapades, my heart skipped a beat when i discovered md sparks’ enchanting charm necklace in the shape of…you guessed it…a cloud!
isn’t she lovely?
and i was even more ecstatic when monica, md sparks‘ designer extraordinaire, offered one of these beauties as this week’s giveaway prize to one lucky silver lining reader!
