Win a pair of earrings from TheLostEarring!

Not just any earrings, but earrings with international exposure! Yes, these amazing earrings were featured in Boho Magazine, so they have serious hipster fashion credibility. Plus, they are gorgeous, graphic cupcakes, aren't they? With sweet pink frosting.

I haved loved TLE's film negative jewelry for a long time, and I have a pair of her film negative earrings that I adore and wear and force strangers to admire in line at the grocery store. That's just how I roll. She has so many unique and fabulous items in her etsy shop, using natural found bits and wonderfully graphic pencil shavings, illustrating how she makes beauty from minutae that we overlook every day. As she says, "There truly is inspiration all around us." I love that. She also creates personalized pieces from your images just for you. She's a wonderfully supportive, creative, intelligent person who has helped me out a great deal since I started selling on etsy. I honestly can't say enough nice things about her. And I can't say enough nice things about her jewelry.

5. Here's the creative one. Since these earrings use film negatives, take a second to tell us about your favorite photo ever. Mine is of my brother and me at Christmas. I'm about three years old, and he's about seven, and it's Christmas morning. My grandpa had come to our house dressed as Santa. My brother had a complete hyperactive meltdown and yelled, "Look, it's Santa! It's Santa!" I took one look at this supposed Santa and said, "That's not Santa. That's Grandpa." There you go. In the picture, we're sitting on Grandpa Santa's lap. I am smiling contentedly with my doll. My brother looks utterly traumatized. What's your favorite photo of all time?

It's that easy! Enter, spread the word, and good luck. And big big thanks to TheLostEarring for providing this opportunity.
