Competition time!

I've been thinking that it's nice to read about and look at the lovely things I feature, but I thought it would be lovely to run competitions to win some of these beautiful pieces.

So...I have decided to hold (ir)regular competitions. Yay!


I have some gorgeous pieces up for grabs over the next few months, but thought I would start by running a competition to win a piece of jewellery from my website, Ji Ji Kiki.


I sell my own handmade kitsch and vintage jewellery alongside pretty things for you and your home including bags, bath and beauty products and kitsch and retro homewares.


All of have to do to enter is go to my site and pick the piece of jewellery that you would like to win and put a comment here. Simples! I will also send the lucky winner some extra surprises :)


I have noticed that a lot of blog running competitions/giveaways give multiple entries depending on how much 'effort' you want to put it ;)


I thought this was a nice idea, so I am offering extra entries of your name in the proverbial hat if you...

- Subscribe to or follow this blog (3 entries)
- Blog about this giveaway (5 entries)
- Sign up to receive the Ji Ji Kiki newsletter (5 entries - I also run monthly draws to win £20 to spend on the site for newsletter subscribers!)
- Tweet about this giveaway (2 entries)


If you Tweet/blog about the comp, please put a link with your comment (blog) or username (Twitter) otherwise I won't know about it!


The competition is open to everyone worldwide and the closing date is Friday 8th May (next week). The winner will be announced on Saturday 9th May, so check back then to see if you've won!

Good luck everybody. x




P.S
As someone has kindly just pointed out, I should also really be promoting Ji Ji Kiki's Facebook page here as well! Hopefully the image/text link will work, otherwise search for 'Ji Ji Kiki'. I have just put up an exclusive discount, so make sure you check it out and become a fan to receive other exclusive goodies :)

PrettyParis

There is a vintage inspired feel to today's featured shop.

PrettyParis sells gorgeous jewellery using vintage or vintage inspired findings.

These mini chrysanthemum flower earrings are just lovely. They are available in a choice of five colours and priced at only $5 so if you can't decide which colour to go for your purse will forgive you for buying more than one set.





I currently have a bit of an obsession with anything bird related and love this cream owl hair grip which is also available in green and the teeny tiny Sterling silver owl earrings shown below.





I don't tend to wear costume jewellery rings-I have three silver rings that I wear all the time (the same as with my watch, I feel naked without them!) but even I could be tempted by this black vintage star flower ring which is just so delicate and unusual.



As shown in the photograph below, all items come gift boxed so they are perfect to give as presents.

Plus if you spend over $25.00 or more in one transaction you will and receive a free gift of a pair of the sweet rose flower earrings below.
These little lovelies are also available to buy for just $4.25
